This weekend, the mysterious Agent of the Nine has established his temporary outpost within the European Dead Zone’s Winding Cove sector. Xur’s arrival provides Guardians with a crucial opportunity to acquire powerful gear before the upcoming Season of the Wish content arrives.
Xur’s established position in the European Dead Zone’s Winding Cove region.
To locate Xur efficiently, begin your journey at the Winding Cove transmat zone. Mount your sparrow and travel northward along the main path. Watch for a collapsed highway overpass on your left side, then identify the cave entrance positioned adjacent to the road’s curve. Proceed through this underground passageway within the cliff formation to access an elevated ridge where a Fallen dropship wreckage serves as Xur’s current trading post.
Pro Navigation Tip: Experienced players recommend using a sparrow with instant summon capabilities to reduce travel time. The entire route typically takes 45-60 seconds from spawn point to destination when executed correctly.
Xur’s exotic armor selection this week offers class-specific enhancements that can significantly impact your combat effectiveness. Each piece provides unique tactical advantages that complement specific playstyles and ability combinations.
Gemini Jester leg armor for Hunter class Guardians.
Hunter – Gemini Jester: These leg armor pieces create disorienting effects on nearby enemies when using your dodge ability. The disorientation removes enemy radar and prevents ability usage briefly, making them exceptionally effective in both PvP engagements and crowd control situations. Pair with mobility-focused builds to maximize dodge uptime.
Peregrine Greaves leg armor designed for Titan class warriors.
Titan – Peregrine Greaves: These leg guards dramatically enhance your shoulder charge abilities while airborne. The damage amplification makes them particularly devastating against powerful combatants and champions in endgame activities.
Getaway Artist gauntlets available for Warlock class practitioners.
Warlock – Getaway Artist: These gauntlets transform your Arc Soul into an enhanced version called Sentient Arc Soul when consuming your grenade energy. This persistent turret provides consistent supplemental damage without requiring ability kills to activate.
Common Mistake: Many players overlook stat compatibility when purchasing exotic armor. Always verify that the stat distribution aligns with your preferred ability cooldown priorities before spending Legendary Shards.
Xur’s featured exotic weapon this week is Skyburner’s Oath, a unique scout rifle that features specialized anti-Cabal technology. This weapon’s exotic perk allows its projectiles to track targets while hip-firing and penetrate Phalanx shields, making it situationally powerful against specific enemy types.
Skyburner’s Oath exotic scout rifle available for acquisition.
This weapon operates exceptionally well in activities with concentrated Cabal enemy presence, such as the Proving Grounds strike or Leviathan-related content. The tracking projectiles provide consistent hit registration while the shield penetration capability offers tactical advantages against otherwise problematic defensive formations.
Advanced Usage: For maximum effectiveness, utilize the hip-fire tracking against agile targets and switch to aimed fire for precision damage against stationary enemies. The weapon’s unique mechanics make it particularly valuable in Grandmaster Nightfalls featuring Cabal champions.
Xur’s legendary armor offerings consist of complete Ketchkiller sets for all three Guardian classes. These armor pieces feature distinct stat distributions that cater to different build philosophies and ability emphasis.
