This weekend’s visit to the mysterious Agent of the Nine takes you to Earth’s European Dead Zone, specifically within the Winding Cove sector. With Destiny 2’s upcoming April story content and The Final Shape expansion approaching, securing powerful exotics from Xur becomes crucial for preparation.
Xur’s current position in the European Dead Zone’s Winding Cove area.
Navigate efficiently by transmatting to the Winding Cove landing zone, then immediately heading north on your sparrow. Watch for the collapsed highway overpass on your left side – this landmark indicates you’re on the correct path. The entrance appears as a cave opening adjacent to the road’s curve, leading through a tunnel that ascends to a ridge overlooking a crashed Fallen dropship where Xur awaits.
Pro Tip: Xur’s inventory refreshes every Friday at 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST, remaining available until Tuesday’s weekly reset. Plan your visit accordingly to avoid missing these time-limited offerings.
Xur’s exotic arsenal this week centers around the Vigilance Wing pulse rifle, a five-round burst weapon exceptional in team-based PvP modes. Its intrinsic perk provides healing and mobility boosts when teammates fall, making it ideal for competitive Crucible matches.
Vigilance Wing – Powerful team-oriented exotic pulse rifle.
Hunter mains should prioritize the Graviton Forfeit helmet, which significantly extends the duration of your Void invisibility effects. This creates exceptional survivability for stealth-based builds, particularly in high-level nightfalls or solo content.
Graviton Forfeit – Hunter exotic helmet for enhanced invisibility.
Titans receive the Ursa Furiosa gauntlets, transforming the Sentinel Shield super into both offensive and defensive powerhouse. The exotic perk converts blocked damage into super energy upon completion.
Ursa Furiosa – Titan exotic gauntlets for super energy regeneration.
Warlocks benefit from the Karnstein Armlets, providing immediate health regeneration on melee kills. This creates incredible sustainability for close-quarters combat and is particularly effective with the Stormcaller’s chain-lightning melee ability.
