This weekend marks a crucial shopping opportunity with Xur, Destiny 2’s mysterious exotic merchant. As the Lightfall era concludes and The Final Shape expansion approaches, understanding Xur’s whereabouts and inventory becomes essential for smart resource management.
The impending removal of Legendary Shards makes this visit particularly significant. Former game director Joe Blackburn previously hinted at substantial changes coming to Xur’s offerings post-expansion, suggesting a more engaging experience with the Agent of the Nine. For now, let’s focus on maximizing your current shopping experience. [Update: This specific visit has concluded, but Xur returned for June 7-11 with updated inventory in The Final Shape era.]
Currently, Xur has established his temporary outpost on Nessus, specifically within The Watcher’s Grave sector. His featured exotic weapon this week is the SUROS Regime auto rifle. Class-specific exotic armor includes Graviton Forfeit for Hunters, Actium War Rig for Titans, and Karnstein Armlets for Warlocks.
Xur’s location on Nessus
To efficiently locate Xur, transport to the Watcher’s Grave transmat zone on Nessus. Upon arrival, mount your sparrow and proceed northward toward the area exit. Scan the right side for a prominent tree distinguished by pink moss growth. Ascend to the large, flat branch where Xur awaits your business.
- Exotic Engram – 97 Legendary Shards
- SUROS Regime – 29 Legendary Shards
- Graviton Forfeit – 23 Legendary Shards
- Actium War Rig – 23 Legendary Shards
- Karnstein Armlets – 23 Legendary Shards
The SUROS Regime represents one of Destiny’s most iconic auto rifles, offering exceptional versatility across various combat scenarios. This weapon excels in both PvE content and Crucible engagements, making it a worthwhile investment for players seeking reliable primary weapon performance.
SUROS Regime
What makes SUROS Regime particularly valuable is its dual-firing mode capability. The Spinning Up perk gradually increases rate of fire while holding the trigger, while the Focused Fire mode provides harder-hitting, slower-firing shots. This flexibility allows players to adapt their engagement style based on encounter requirements.
For optimal performance, pair SUROS Regime with armor mods that enhance auto rifle reload speed and targeting. The weapon’s health regeneration potential from SUROS Legacy perk can be game-changing in high-level content where survival is paramount.
Common Mistake: Many players overlook the strategic value of switching between firing modes mid-engagement. Practice transitioning between Spinning Up for close-quarters combat and Focused Fire for precision engagements at medium range.
Each class receives specialized exotic armor pieces designed to enhance specific playstyles and ability synergies. Understanding these interactions helps maximize your combat effectiveness.
Hunter – Graviton Forfeit: This helmet significantly extends the duration of your invisibility effects, making it invaluable for both PvE stealth approaches and PvP evasion tactics. The extended invisibility not only provides survival benefits but also creates opportunities for strategic repositioning.
Graviton Forfeit
Titan – Actium War Rig: This chest piece provides continuous ammunition reload for auto rifles and machine guns, effectively increasing your sustained damage output. This is particularly effective when combined with weapons like the SUROS Regime or any high-impact machine gun in your arsenal.
Actium War Rig
Warlock – Karnstein Armlets: These gauntlets grant health regeneration and melee energy upon melee kills, creating a powerful feedback loop for aggressive playstyles.
Karnstein Armlets
Advanced Tip: For maximum efficiency, combine Karnstein Armlets with a high-strength build and melee-focused subclasses like Stormcaller or Dawnblade.
Xur’s legendary armor offerings feature the Substitutional Alloy set with carefully distributed stat allocations. Understanding these distributions helps you build more effective loadouts for endgame content.

Stat Distribution Analysis: Notice how Titan pieces emphasize Resilience for damage resistance, while Warlock gear prioritizes Recovery for faster health regeneration. Hunter armor shows more balanced distributions with some pieces favoring Mobility for enhanced movement capabilities.
Optimization Strategy: Focus on acquiring pieces that complement your preferred stat distributions. For example, Titans should prioritize the Substitutional Alloy Greaves with 20 Resilience, while Warlocks benefit from the Substitutional Alloy Robes featuring 22 Resilience and solid Discipline for grenade cooldowns.
