As Destiny 2’s mysterious exotic merchant makes his weekly appearance, Guardians need precise directions to locate the elusive Agent of the Nine. This weekend, Xur has established his temporary outpost in the European Dead Zone, specifically within the Winding Cove sector. His arrival coincides with the ongoing Season of the Deep activities, providing players with fresh gear acquisition opportunities between their Deep Dive and Salvage missions.
Xur’s established position in the European Dead Zone for this weekend’s trading session.
To efficiently reach Xur’s current position, begin by transporting to the Winding Cove transmat zone. Mount your sparrow and proceed northward along the main path. Watch carefully for a collapsed highway overpass on your left side – this landmark indicates you’re on the correct path. Nearby the road’s curvature, you’ll notice a cave entrance partially concealed by foliage.
Navigate through this underground passage that cuts directly through the rocky cliff formation. This tunnel leads upward to an elevated ridge where the wreckage of a Fallen dropship serves as Xur’s backdrop. The merchant awaits beside this crash site, ready to exchange his exotic wares for your accumulated Legendary Shards. Remember, his visitation window closes with the Tuesday reset, so plan your acquisition strategy accordingly.
Xur’s exotic armor selection this week provides distinct gameplay advantages for each Guardian class. Understanding each piece’s unique mechanics and stat distribution helps maximize their potential in both PvE and PvP environments.
For Hunters, the Aeon Swift gauntlets offer exceptional team support capabilities through their Aeon Cult mod interactions. These exotic gloves enable generating special ammo for allies and creating orbs of power through finisher moves, making them invaluable in high-level group content where resource management becomes critical.

Titans acquire the Lion Rampant leg armor, renowned for dramatically enhanced aerial mobility and control. This exotic enables precise mid-air maneuvering and extended hover time, revolutionizing approaches to platforming challenges and combat positioning. The improved in-air accuracy proves particularly effective when paired with weapons like machine guns or grenade launchers.

Warlocks obtain the Vesper of Radius chest armor, which creates damaging rift explosions upon casting your class ability. This exotic synergizes powerfully with Arc subclasses, where the resulting arc shockwaves can clear entire groups of minor combatants while providing defensive positioning.

Each exotic armor piece costs 23 Legendary Shards, while the exotic engram remains available for 97 Shards – potentially offering previously uncollected exotics from your personal loot pool. When evaluating these purchases, consider both immediate utility and long-term collection completeness for your class builds and specialization strategies.
This week’s featured exotic weapon, Sweet Business, represents one of Destiny 2’s most distinctive auto rifle designs. This high-capacity kinetic weapon features a massive 150-round magazine and unique wind-up mechanics that reward sustained fire discipline.

The Sweet Business exotic perk, “Business Time,” automatically reloads the weapon from reserves when you pick up primary ammo bricks. This creates a seamless firing experience ideal for extended engagements against large groups of enemies. The weapon truly shines in activities with dense enemy populations where its continuous fire capability can be fully utilized.
Strategic application involves pre-firing around corners to reach maximum rate of fire before enemies appear. Pair this weapon with Actium War Rig exotic chest armor for Titans to achieve near-constant uptime, or with reload-enhancing mods like Loader perks on other classes. In PvP, its suppressing fire potential can control choke points, though its wind-up time requires careful positioning to avoid vulnerability during activation.
At 29 Legendary Shards, Sweet Business offers tremendous value for players lacking this unique addition to their exotic arsenal. The weapon’s distinctive audio signature and visual feedback provide immediate tactical information to both you and your fireteam members.

Deafening Whisper stands out as a wave-frame grenade launcher that creates horizontal shockwaves, excellent for clearing tightly-packed enemy formations in both PvE and corridor-based PvP maps.
The Recurrent Impact machine gun provides sustained heavy fire with Genesis automatically reloading the magazine when breaking matching elemental shields. This proves invaluable in Nightfalls with Match Game modifiers where shield breaking becomes paramount.
