Destiny 2’s mysterious exotic merchant Xur returns with fresh inventory perfect for enhancing your Guardian’s capabilities during active Iron Banner events and the approaching Solstice celebration. His current selection offers powerful tools that can significantly impact your gameplay effectiveness across various activities.

Weekly Update: Xur has concluded his weekend visit. Below you’ll find detailed information about his most recent location and exotic offerings from the July 22-26 appearance period.

The vendor’s current exotic arsenal includes both weapons and class-specific armor that feature desirable perk combinations. These items become particularly valuable when preparing for competitive Iron Banner matches or the upcoming Solstice event challenges. Understanding each item’s strategic value helps prioritize your legendary shard investments.

This week’s exotic weapon is the Suros Regime auto rifle, available for 29 legendary shards. Class armor includes Hunter Bombardiers boots (23 shards), Titan Ashen Wake gauntlets (23 shards), and Warlock Crown of Tempests helmet (23 shards). The exotic engram remains available for 97 legendary shards.

  • Exotic Engram – 97 legendary shards
  • Suros Regime – 29 legendary shards
  • Bombardiers – 23 legendary shards
  • Navigating to Xur requires understanding his preferred locations since the vendor never appears on your director map. This intentional obscurity means players must physically visit potential spawn points to locate him each weekend.

    For his current appearance, Xur has established his temporary shop in The Tower’s Hangar section. From the Courtyard transmat zone, immediately turn left and descend the ramp followed by the staircase directly ahead. Upon entering the Hangar area, take another left and proceed northward until you spot a metallic staircase ascending to an elevated catwalk where the merchant awaits.

    Xur maintains a consistent weekend schedule, materializing after the Friday daily reset at 10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern Time. He remains accessible until the weekly reset on Tuesday, giving players approximately 72 hours to visit his temporary shop. Veteran Guardians recommend setting waypoint reminders to avoid missing his limited availability window.

    The merchant rotates between three primary locations: Tower Hangar, Nessus’s Watcher’s Grave, and EDZ’s Winding Cove region. New players often struggle to locate him initially, but developing efficient route patterns significantly reduces search time each weekend.

    Each exotic in Xur’s inventory offers unique combat advantages that synergize with specific playstyles and subclass builds. Understanding these synergies helps determine which purchases provide the greatest return on your legendary shard investment.

    Suros Regime is a classic that can hit enemies hard and keep you patched up

    Suros Regime’s dual firing modes and health regeneration perk make it versatile for both PvE and PvP activities, particularly during Iron Banner

    The Suros Regime auto rifle excels in mid-range engagements with its Spinning Up perk that increases fire rate during sustained fire, or Focused Fire for more controlled, harder-hitting shots. Its health regeneration chance on bottom-half magazine kills provides crucial sustainability during extended firefights.

    Versatile Hunter boots that can enhance any sublcass build

    Bombardiers create area denial and escape opportunities, complementing aggressive Hunter playstyles perfectly

    Hunter Bombardiers provide tactical mobility by dropping an explosive device when using your class ability. The bomb’s damage type changes based on your equipped subclass, creating versatile area denial and escape mechanisms.

    You want more grenades? This is how you get more grenades

    Ashen Wake transforms Fusion grenades into instant-detonation weapons with significantly improved recharge rates for grenade-spam builds

    Titan Ashen Wake gauntlets dramatically enhance Fusion grenade effectiveness with instant detonation on impact and greatly improved energy regeneration when scoring grenade kills.

    Prepare for one long Stormtrance

    Crown of Tempests extends Stormtrance duration and improves all ability regeneration when scoring arc ability or Super kills.

    Warlock Crown of Tempests significantly extends Stormtrance Super duration while accelerating all ability recharge rates when achieving arc ability final blows. This creates powerful ability-spam cycles for arc subclass builds.

    Maximizing your Xur visits requires strategic planning around legendary shard economy and collection priorities. Always prioritize exotics missing from your collection first, as these provide new gameplay options rather than stat variations.

    Common mistakes include purchasing duplicate exotics without checking stat rolls first, wasting shards on items with poor distribution, and failing to account for upcoming seasonal meta shifts. Avoid buying exotic engrams if you already own all available world drop exotics, as the duplicate protection provides diminishing returns.

    For advanced players, focus on high-stat armor rolls (65+ total points) with spike distributions favoring your preferred stats. The exotic engram can sometimes yield better stat rolls than the directly sold armor pieces, though this involves RNG elements.

    Time management is crucial – visiting Xur immediately after Friday reset ensures you don’t forget, while checking vendor resets on companion apps can reveal stat rolls without traveling in-game. Consider that weapons generally maintain consistent performance regardless of purchase timing, while armor stat rolls change weekly.

    Legendary shard accumulation should become a weekly focus if you regularly purchase from Xur. Dismantling unwanted legendary gear, completing vendor bounties, and participating in high-level activities all contribute to maintaining sufficient currency for weekly exotic acquisitions.

    Action Checklist

    • Check Xur’s location immediately after Friday reset using known spawn points
    • Review all exotic offerings and compare against your collection gaps
    • Prioritize purchases: missing exotics > high-stat armor > duplicate optimization
    • Inspect armor stat rolls before purchasing duplicates
    • Plan legendary shard farming if needed for upcoming purchases
