Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. With the arrival of the weekly reset,Destiny 2is celebrating its 10 year anniversarywith a small in-game event. During the celebrations, players can earn a special new set of armor, and its ornaments, based on designs from the original game. A new Title and Triumphs are also available to chase, allowing players to unlock the Legend title.
Alongside the anniversary event news, Bungie also revealed its plans for next year whenCodename: Frontiers launches inDestiny 2over the summer. While Bungie is still working on a lot of the content and designs, players now know that Codename Frontiers includes 2 medium-sized expansions (think Shadowkeep rather than The Final Shape), 4 free major updates, along with 4 reward passes to go along with them. In addition, Bungie is planning to overhaul various parts of the game, including the Director, in an attempt to make the game more approachable and easier to find certain content quicker.
In the meantime, it’s time to talk about the weekend merchant Xur, who has brought a brand-new inventory of exotics and legendary gear forDestiny 2players. 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 Jun 23, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there’s no more hunting when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley is to the right, where Xur is standing.
Destiny 2 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.
Stormdancer’s Brace - Warlock chest armor
Exotic Perk:
Once again, Warlocks get the lowest rolled exotic. As such, this is a hard item to recommend, even though it’s a solid PvE item used to increase the damage of Stormtrance and refund energy.
Wormhusk Crown - Hunter helmet
Wormhusk remains a popular choice for many Hunters thanks to its ability to keep players alive. However, this one may be a tough sell as the roll on it is a bit lower than many would like and probably won’t be replacing any versions currently unlocked. Still, for those who don’t yet have it at all, it’s worth a pickup regardless.
Mk. 44 Stand Asides - Titan leg armor
Once again, the highest total roll belongs to Titans this week. Unfortunately, the roll is stuck on an exotic that is okay and certainly not a must-have compared to some of the other options readily available. In addition, the mobility stat is unbelievably high this week, making this one an easy pass.
