As Season of Defiance enters its third week, Destiny 2 players have another opportunity to visit the mysterious Agent of the Nine and acquire powerful gear. Despite the sweeping changes introduced with Lightfall, Xur continues his weekly tradition of offering exotic and legendary equipment for Guardians seeking to enhance their arsenals.
This weekend, Xur has established his temporary outpost in the EDZ, specifically within the Winding Cove sector. His featured exotic weapon is the Lord of Wolves shotgun, while class-specific armor includes Lucky Raspberry for Hunters, Crest of Alpha Lupi for Titans, and Geomag Stabilizers for Warlocks.
Xur’s location in the EDZ.
To locate Xur efficiently, begin at the Winding Cove transmat zone and travel northward using your sparrow. Identify the collapsed overpass structure on your left and seek out the cave entrance adjacent to the road’s curve. Proceed through the underground passage emerging at an elevated ridge where a destroyed Fallen dropship rests – Xur awaits nearby.

When evaluating Xur’s current offerings, several items stand out for their exceptional performance in specific gameplay scenarios. The Lord of Wolves remains a dominant choice for close-quarters combat, particularly in activities requiring rapid add-clear capabilities.
For Hunter mains, Lucky Raspberry provides exceptional arc grenade regeneration potential when combined with appropriate mods. Titans should strongly consider Crest of Alpha Lupi for support-focused builds, while Warlocks can leverage Geomag Stabilizers to enhance their Chaos Reach super effectiveness.

Analyzing the stat distributions reveals clear patterns: Titan armor emphasizes Resilience and Strength, making it ideal for melee-focused builds. Warlock pieces show balanced Discipline and Intelligence spreads, while Hunter gear favors Mobility and Recovery combinations.



From the legendary weapon selection, Firefright with its Fragile Focus and Surrounded perks offers outstanding PvE performance, while IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.3 remains a meta choice for energy slot submachine guns.
Seasoned Destiny 2 players should approach Xur purchases with specific strategic priorities. The Exotic Engram represents the highest value purchase for collectors seeking to complete their exotic catalogs or obtain better stat rolls on existing pieces.
Common mistakes to avoid: Don’t waste shards on duplicate exotics without checking their stat distributions first. Avoid purchasing class items (marks, bonds, cloaks) as they provide no stat benefits. Never skip the exotic weapon if it’s missing from your collection.
For players focused on Trials of Osiris or competitive PvP, prioritize armor with high resilience and recovery stats. The Titan Pathfinder’s Helm with 20 resilience stands out as an exceptional PvP option this weekend.
Time investment recommendations: Plan for approximately 15-20 minutes to travel to Xur and evaluate all purchases. Budget your legendary shards carefully – the total cost for all exotic items exceeds 190 shards.
Advanced players should note that the current armor rolls particularly benefit grenade-focused builds, with multiple pieces offering elevated discipline stats. The Warlock Pathfinder’s Pants with 18 recovery and 12 discipline provides outstanding ability regeneration potential.
When considering our Weapons Unlock strategies, similar prioritization principles apply – focus on meta weapons first, then fill collection gaps.
