As Season of the Witch reaches its narrative conclusion, strategic gear acquisition becomes crucial for tackling upcoming endgame challenges. The mysterious Agent of the Nine has returned with fresh inventory, positioned conveniently within the Tower’s Hangar sector for this weekly cycle.
Navigating to Xur requires precise movement through the Tower’s layout. Begin your journey at the Courtyard transmat zone, then proceed leftward descending the staircase into the Hangar area. Execute another left turn and advance toward the northern perimeter where you’ll discover an elevated catwalk structure housing the elusive vendor.
Xur’s strategic position on the Tower catwalk provides both visibility and accessibility.
Pro Tip: Activate your sparrow immediately upon spawning to reduce travel time by approximately 45 seconds. Many guardians overlook this time-saving maneuver, costing them valuable gameplay minutes during limited weekend availability windows.
This week’s exotic armor selection offers distinct tactical advantages for each class, with carefully curated stat distributions that complement specific playstyles and ability combinations.
Hunter – Sixth Coyote: This chest armor provides double Dodge charges, fundamentally altering mobility strategies. Perfect for aggressive playstyles requiring frequent repositioning or defensive builds needing constant invisibility uptime. The additional charge enables chain-ability usage that can overwhelm opponents in both PvP and high-level PvE scenarios.
The Sixth Coyote enables unprecedented mobility through dual Dodge charges.
Titan – Actium War Rig: Revolutionizes automatic weapon usage by steadily reloading a portion of your magazine over time. Exceptionally powerful when paired with machine guns or auto rifles in sustained damage phases.
Actium War Rig transforms sustained damage output with automatic weapons.
Warlock – Contraverse Hold: These gauntlets supercharge Void grenade capabilities by providing damage resistance during charging and potential grenade energy refund on hits. Essential for ability-spam builds focusing on area control and add-clear efficiency.
Contraverse Hold empowers Voidwalker grenade strategies with enhanced survivability.
Common Mistake: Many players purchase exotic armor without checking the stat rolls first. Always preview the distribution to ensure it aligns with your build priorities before spending precious Legendary Shards.
Xur’s exotic weapon offerings this week center around the versatile SUROS Regime auto rifle, a weapon that has maintained relevance across multiple meta shifts due to its adaptable firing patterns.
SUROS Regime: This iconic auto rifle features dual firing modes that cater to different engagement ranges. The focused fire mode reduces rate of fire but increases damage per bullet, ideal for medium-range precision engagements. Conversely, the spinning up mode gradually increases fire rate as you sustain fire, perfect for close-quarters combat and aggressive pushes.
SUROS Regime’s dual firing modes provide exceptional adaptability across combat scenarios.
Hawkmoon Availability: While not part of the standard inventory, Xur consistently offers the random roll Hawkmoon hand cannon for players who have completed the requisite quest. This weapon remains a PvP staple due to its paracausal shot potential.
Hawkmoon provides consistent exotic hand cannon performance with random perk combinations.
- Exotic Engram – 97 Legendary Shards
- SUROS Regime – 29 Legendary Shards
- Actium War Rig – 23 Legendary Shards
- The Sixth Coyote – 23 Legendary Shards
- Contraverse Hold – 23 Legendary Shards
Advanced Tip: The SUROS Regime’s health regeneration perk activates more frequently in game modes with longer time-to-kill values, making it particularly effective in Crucible matches with light level advantages enabled.
The Righteous armor sets available this week present well-balanced stat distributions suitable for various buildcrafting approaches across all three guardian classes.

Stat Analysis: Titan pieces emphasize Recovery and Discipline, ideal for ability-focused builds. Warlock armor shows balanced distributions with Intelligence spikes, while Hunter gear favors Mobility and Resilience combinations perfect for aggressive gameplay.
Optimization Strategy: Focus on acquiring pieces that complement your primary stat priorities. For PvP, prioritize high Mobility and Resilience; for PvE, Recovery and Discipline typically provide greater value.
Xur’s legendary weapon inventory this week features seven distinct weapons with carefully curated perk combinations that enable powerful synergies across various combat scenarios and playstyles.
| Tripwire Canary | Energy Combat Bow | Agile Bowstring / Polymer String | Compact Arrow Shaft / Straight Fletching | Rapid Hit | Frenzy |
| Iota Draconis | Energy Fusion Rifle | Arrowhead Brake / Hammer-Forged Rifling | Enhanced Battery / Projection Fuse | Surplus | Harmony |

Standout Perk Combinations: The Sailspy Pitchglass with Compulsive Reloader and Voltshot creates an exceptional add-clear weapon, while the Shattered Cipher’s Heating Up and Adrenaline Junkie synergy excels in sustained damage scenarios against majors and bosses.
Loadout Recommendations: Pair Tripwire Canary with its Frenzy perk for aggressive play, or utilize Dire Promise’s Osmosis capability for elemental versatility in match game activities.
Common Pitfall: Avoid purchasing weapons with perk combinations that conflict with their intended use case. For example, Compulsive Reloader on a Linear Fusion Rifle may disrupt your damage rotation timing in raid encounters.
