As the weekend arrives in Destiny 2, the mysterious Agent of the Nine makes his weekly appearance, bringing coveted exotic and legendary equipment for Guardians seeking to enhance their combat capabilities. This celestial merchant operates on a precise schedule, offering limited-time access to gear that can significantly impact your gameplay experience and build optimization.
Navigate to Xur’s position in the European Dead Zone’s Winding Cove sector.
Currently, Xur has established his temporary outpost within the EDZ, specifically in the Winding Cove region. To reach him efficiently, utilize the Winding Cove fast travel point then proceed northeast toward the crashed Fallen skiff. His position remains consistent throughout the weekend but resets with the Tuesday maintenance cycle.
Many players overlook the strategic timing of their Xur visits. Arriving early in the weekend ensures you have adequate time to farm necessary resources if needed, while waiting until Monday risks missing the opportunity entirely if scheduling conflicts arise. The vendor departs precisely at the weekly reset, so plan accordingly to avoid disappointment.
Xur’s exotic inventory this week features class-specific armor pieces alongside two distinctive exotic weapons, each offering unique gameplay advantages and synergistic potential with various subclasses and playstyles.
Hunter Exotic: Aeon Swift
Aeon Swift gauntlets provide team support capabilities through energy generation.
The Aeon Swift exotic gauntlets for Hunters specialize in supportive play through their Aeon Cult perk. When using class ability near allies, these generate ability energy for teammates wearing Aeon armor, creating powerful cooperative gameplay loops in team-based activities.
Titan Exotic: Ursa Furiosa
Ursa Furiosa gauntlets enhance Banner Shield super performance.
Titans can acquire Ursa Furiosa, which transforms the Banner Shield super into a more versatile defensive tool. Blocked damage converts to super energy refund, potentially allowing near-continuous super maintenance in high-damage scenarios.
Warlock Exotic: Astrocyte Verse
Astrocyte Verse helmet significantly improves Warlock blink movement and weapon readiness.
Warlocks benefit from Astrocyte Verse, an exotic helmet that dramatically enhances the Blink movement ability. It increases blink distance, reduces weapon ready time after blinking, and provides radar visibility during the teleportation sequence.
Exotic Weapons
Telesto fusion rifle fires sticky projectiles that detonate on impact or when disturbed.
For his exotic weapon offering, Xur presents Telesto, the notorious fusion rifle that fires projectiles adhering to surfaces and detonating when disturbed. Its Unplanned Reprieve perk causes bolts to release a destructive explosion upon impact with targets or surfaces.
Hawkmoon hand cannon features random rolls and stacking damage potential.
Additionally, the exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon is available with randomly generated perks, allowing players to hunt for their ideal combination of traits for this iconic weapon.
Beyond exotic offerings, Xur provides comprehensive legendary armor sets and weapons with carefully curated perk combinations that cater to various gameplay approaches and stat priorities.

Successfully navigating Xur’s offerings requires strategic planning and awareness of common mistakes that can waste valuable resources or miss optimal acquisition opportunities.
Currency and Resource Management
Xur accepts Legendary Shards as primary currency, with exotic items costing 23 shards and legendary gear priced between 25-50 shards depending on the piece. Ensure you maintain adequate shard reserves by regularly dismantling unwanted legendary and exotic equipment.
Many players underestimate the importance of having backup resources. Maintain at least 100-150 Legendary Shards to ensure you can purchase all desired items, including the exotic engram for 97 shards that provides a random exotic not currently in your collection.
Stat Prioritization Guidelines
When evaluating armor pieces, prioritize stats that complement your preferred playstyle and subclass. For PvE content, Resilience and Recovery typically provide the most value, while PvP often benefits from Mobility and Recovery investments.
A common mistake involves purchasing armor based solely on total stat points without considering distribution. A 65-stat piece with perfect distribution often outperforms a 68-stat piece with wasted points in undesirable stats.
Timing and Reset Awareness
Xur’s inventory refreshes every Friday at 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST alongside the weekly reset. He remains available until the following Tuesday reset, giving players approximately four days to acquire his offerings.
Advanced players should coordinate Xur visits with their weekly ritual activities. Complete vendor purchases before engaging in high-level content to immediately benefit from new gear enhancements.
