Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. Just a few days remain inDestiny 2’s holiday event known as The Dawning, giving fans limited time to finish up any outstanding challenges, quests, and to find those perfect weapon rolls.
With the new year rapidly approaching, many fans have begun to look ahead to 2024, which is quickly shaping up to be a big year forDestiny 2. Outside of an unfortunately delay to The Final Shape expansion and forcing Season of the Wish to be longer than originally intended, fans still have a lot tolook forward to in 2024 forDestiny 2,including a conclusion to the Light and Dark story line, the introduction of episodic content, as well as the return of some events like Moments of Triumph and a unique update called Into The Light.
For now though, Xur is back again with a whole selection of exotics and legendaries forDestiny 2players over the next few days. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he’s brought for the weekend of June 01, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Overt he next few days, Xur can be found in his tree at Watcher’s Grave on Nessus.
From the Director, head to Nessus and load into Watcher’s Grave. Run towards the back of the zone where a massive tree is found. Jump up until players find the huge branch where the merchant is hanging out.
Class Armor and Exotic Cipher
Xur’s role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary toacquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cipher by completing strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches. Gain bonus points for playing with clan mates or finishing more challenging activities.
Xur continues to sell even more gear outside his usual content. In addition to his normal exotic gear, Xur now has Legendary Weapons and Armor for sale in exchange for Legendary Shards and Glimmer.
Contraverse Hold - Warlock gauntlets
Exotic Perk:
Chaotic Exchanger - Resist incoming damage while charging a Void grenade. Charged Void grenades return grenade energy on a hit.
The stat roll this week is the lowest of the three, though the distribution itself is solid, at the very least. It’s a good exotic, though not a necessary purchase.
Orpheus Rig - Hunter leg armor
Uncanny Arrows - Provides ability energy for each target tethered by Deadfall anchors. Moebius Quiver has an additional shot.
An already solid exotic weapon for Nightstalker Hunters, this one is particularly worth picking up solely for its high stat roll, which includes high marks for Recovery and Intelligence.
Hallowfire Heart - Titan chest armor
Sunfire Furnace - Solar takedowns while standing in a Sunspot create a Sunspot. Greatly improves recharge rate of Solar abilities while Super is charged. Provides a small benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of all weapons.
12s and 10s are wild in this high stat roll armor, with everything either set to a 12 or 10. As such, this is a really solid roll without many peaks and valleys and is worth adding simply because of the fact that it’s better than usual collection rolls.
Stat Values (68 total):
Exotic Weapon
Skyburner’s Oath is a classicDestiny 2exotic, something introduced at launch with the base game and is based off of a Cabal’s weapon. The defining feature of this weapon comes from its perk Slug Rifle which alters the firing rate of the weapon. Skyburner’s Oath lobs explosive rounds that get stronger and faster when aiming down the sights. Instead of lobbing shots that track when hip firing, aiming down the sights actually turns the fired rounds into a faster, straighter, and more damaging explosive bullet. It also does more damage to Cabal enemies and rips through Phalanx Shields.
While it’s an interesting exotic, the solar scout rifle king this season remains Polaris Lance, and it’s unlikely that this one will be unseating that anytime soon. Ultimately, it can be a fun weapon to mess around with when fighting Cabal enemies, but it’s not a weapon that is anywhere near the top of the meta and can be safely avoided.
Weapon perks:
Hawkmoon Rolls
At this point,Xur is only selling Hawkmoon with randomized rolls, but its time is limited once Harbinger is ultimately added to the Exotic Mission Rotator and makes the hand cannon craftable. Either way, here is the roll Xur has this weekend:
