As the weekend arrives in Destiny 2, Guardians seeking to enhance their arsenal should make locating Xur their top priority. The mysterious Agent of the Nine returns with his weekly selection of exotic weaponry and armor, providing crucial opportunities to fill collection gaps and acquire powerful gear for both PvE and PvP activities.
This week, Xur has established his temporary outpost on Nessus, specifically within the Watcher’s Grave area. To efficiently reach him, utilize the Watcher’s Grave transmat zone and immediately deploy your sparrow upon arrival. Navigate northward toward the zone exit while scanning the right side of the environment for a prominent tree adorned with distinctive pink moss growth. The vendor occupies an elevated position on one of the tree’s substantial flat branches, requiring a brief platforming sequence to access.

Pro Navigation Tip: Many players miss the optimal approach path. Instead of attempting direct vertical ascent, approach from the eastern rock formations and utilize the smaller branching limbs as stepping stones. This route typically saves 15-20 seconds compared to direct climbing attempts.
Xur’s exotic inventory this weekend centers around The Queenbreaker, a linear fusion rifle that occupies your energy weapon slot. This weapon features unique optics switching capabilities and blinding effects, making it particularly effective in both Gambit and certain nightfall activities where disrupting major combatants provides tactical advantages.
Class-specific exotic armor selections include substantial stat variations that significantly impact build potential:
- Exotic Engram – 97 Legendary Shards (always prioritize for collection completion)
- The Queenbreaker – 29 Legendary Shards
- Shinobu’s Vow – 23 Legendary Shards (Hunter skip grenade specialists)
- Actium War Rig – 23 Legendary Shards (Titan auto rifle enthusiasts)
- Verity’s Brow – 23 Legendary Shards (Warlock grenade builds)
Common Mistake Alert: Many Guardians overlook stat distributions when purchasing exotic armor. The current rolls feature moderate to high resilience and recovery values, making them particularly valuable for endgame content where survivability outweighs pure ability regeneration.

Beyond his exotic offerings, Xur provides seven distinct legendary weapons spanning multiple archetypes and damage types. Each weapon features curated perk combinations that determine their viability in different combat scenarios.
| Hollow Words | Energy Fusion Rifle | Extended Barrel / Smallbore | Liquid Coils / Projection Fuse | Killing Wind | Backup Plan |
| Fire and Forget | Heavy Linear Fusion Rifle | Chambered Compensator / Smallbore | Ionized Battery / Projection Fuse | Rangefinder | Demolitionist |
| Night Watch | Kinetic Scout Rifle | Corkscrew Rifling / Polygonal Rifling | Accurized Rounds / Alloy Magazine | Threat Detector | Demolitionist |
| No Reprieve | Kinetic Shotgun | Polygonal Rifling / Smallbore | Tactical Mag / Extended Mag | Surplus | Harmony |
| Blood Feud | Kinetic Submachine Gun | Corkscrew Rifling / Polygonal Rifling | Tactical Mag / Extended Mag | Ambitious Assassin | Focused Fury |
| IKELOS_SR_v1.0.3 | Energy Sniper Rifle | Fluted Barrel / Smallbore | Tactical Mag / Flared Magwell | Fourth Time’s the Charm | Focused Fury |
| Thoughtless | Kinetic Sniper Rifle | Corkscrew Rifling / Full Bore | Appended Mag / Steady Rounds | Perpetual Motion | Snapshot Sights |
Weapon Performance Insights: The Night Watch scout rifle stands out with its Demolitionist perk, enabling ability regeneration through weapon kills—perfect for grenade-focused builds. Meanwhile, Thoughtless sniper rifle combines Perpetual Motion with Snapshot Sights for exceptional handling during mobile combat situations.
Advanced Player Optimization: Seasoned Guardians should note that the IKELOS_SR_v1.0.3 features Fourth Time’s the Charm paired with Focused Fury, creating sustained damage potential against champions and bosses in higher difficulty content.


Maximizing your Xur visit requires strategic resource allocation and understanding of long-term gear value. Legendary Shards remain the primary currency, with exotic engrams representing the highest investment at 97 shards but providing guaranteed collection progress.
Priority Purchase Sequence: 1) Exotic Engram (collection completion), 2) Missing exotic weapons, 3) High-stat armor with favorable distributions for your preferred playstyle.
Common Resource Management Errors: Many intermediate players exhaust their shards on multiple armor pieces when focusing on a single high-stat exotic and the engram would provide better long-term value. The current armor stat totals range from 50-57, with several pieces featuring spike distributions in resilience and recovery—currently meta-relevant for survivability in endgame activities.
Build Synergy Considerations: The Actium War Rig synergizes exceptionally well with auto rifle focused Titan builds, while Verity’s Brow dramatically enhances Warlock grenade capabilities. Hunters utilizing skip grenade strategies will find Shinobu’s Vow substantially improves their tactical options in both PvE and PvP environments.
