Season 22’s narrative intensifies with themes of retribution, and Xur complements this atmosphere with a completely refreshed inventory of Exotic and Legendary-tier equipment. As always, Guardians can acquire newly rolled Exotic armor pieces, potentially obtain missed Exotic weapons, and expand their collection options while assembling ideal seasonal armor configurations. Here’s your comprehensive guide to locating Xur and evaluating his current merchandise offerings.
This weekly rotation places Xur on Nessus, specifically within The Watcher’s Grave sector. His featured weapon this visit is the Crimson kinetic hand cannon. Hunter mains can secure the Gemini Jester leg armor; Titan players obtain the Helm of Saint-14 helmet; while Warlocks purchase the Crown of Tempests headpiece.
Xur’s precise position on Nessus within the Watcher’s Grave area.
Travel to Nessus and utilize the Watcher’s Grave transmat point to pinpoint Xur’s current position. Upon arrival, mount your sparrow and proceed northward toward the zone exit. Identify a substantial tree featuring distinctive pink moss growth on the right sector perimeter. Ascend onto its expansive, level branch platform where Xur awaits your visit.
Pro Navigation Tip: Activate your Ghost immediately after transmat to reveal nearby points of interest, including vendor locations. The pink moss tree stands approximately 100 meters from your arrival point.
Xur’s exotic armor selections this week provide distinct tactical advantages for each Guardian class. Understanding these pieces’ synergistic potential with your existing loadouts maximizes their combat effectiveness.
Gemini Jester exotic Hunter leg armor.
Gemini Jester (Hunter): These leg pieces excel in PvP scenarios by disabling enemy radar and removing their abilities. The disorientation effect creates crucial openings for aggressive plays. Pair with close-range weapons like submachine guns for maximum disruption potential.
Helm of Saint-14 exotic Titan helmet.
Helm of Saint-14 (Titan): This defensive helmet transforms Ward of Dawn into an offensive tool by blinding enemies who enter. Perfect for control points and defensive positions in both PvE and PvP activities.
Crown of Tempests exotic Warlock helmet.
Crown of Tempests (Warlock): This arc-focused helmet extends Stormtrance duration and improves ability regeneration when scoring arc ability kills. Ideal for add-clear scenarios and ability-spam builds.
- Exotic Engram – 97 Legendary Shards
- Crimson – 29 Legendary Shards
- Gemini Jester – 23 Legendary Shards
- Helm of Saint-14 – 23 Legendary Shards
- Crown of Tempests – 23 Legendary Shards
Common Mistake: Many players overlook stat distributions when purchasing exotic armor. Always check the mobility, resilience, and recovery stats to ensure they complement your playstyle.
Xur features the Crimson exotic hand cannon this week, a versatile primary weapon with unique sustain mechanics. This three-round burst sidearm hybrid offers distinctive combat advantages.
Weapon Performance: Crimson’s exotic perk ‘Cruel Remedy’ instantly regenerates health on precision kills and reloads the magazine from reserves. This makes it exceptionally valuable in high-difficulty content where survivability matters.
PvP Applications: In Crucible matches, Crimson dominates mid-range engagements. The burst fire pattern allows for consistent headshots, while the health regeneration enables extended engagements without disengaging for recovery.
PvE Effectiveness: For nightfalls and dungeons, Crimson provides sustained damage output while maintaining guardian health pools. The catalyst adds range and stability, transforming it into a laser-beam sidearm.
Optimal Mod Setup: Equip targeting adjuster for improved aim assist, backup mag for additional bursts, or minor spec for enhanced red-bar enemy damage.
Advanced Tip: Pair Crimson with armor mods that enhance hand cannon reload speed and dexterity for maximum uptime. The weapon particularly shines in activities with limited cover where health regeneration provides crucial survivability.
