Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. Episode Echoes continues to approach its end, and Bungie has revealed more gameplay related details for the upcoming Revenant chapter. WhileDestiny 2players got important class and ability change information, this week, Bungie highlighted more information regarding raids and dungeons.
Specifically,Episode Revenant’s Vesper’s Host Dungeonwill be the first to launch with a Contest Mode modifier for the first 48 hours. Acting similar to a new raid launch, fireteams can take part to unlock special rewards, as well as the associated exotic weapon, which very well could be the Icebreaker sniper rifle. Once three fireteams have crossed the finish line, the normal experience will activate, allowing everyone else who may not want to face the challenges of Contest Mode to check out the newest content.
In the meantime, the weekend merchant Xur has returned for the final time in September with a 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 May 26, 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.
Nezarec’s Sin - Warlock helmet
Exotic Perk:
The high stat roll this week belongs to Warlocks and a very good PvE exotic. While limited to Voidwalkers, this exotic can ensure players have their abilities off cooldown a lot faster than normal. It’s worth a purchase for those who don’t have it or don’t have a roll this high.
Sealed Ahamkara Grasps - Hunter gauntlets
Nothing extraordinary to write home about, this exotic is solid, but unlikely to unseat any of the currently popular/meta gear at this point in time.
Phoenix Cradle - Titan leg armor
Since this is very specific to the Solar Aspect for Titans, this exotic won’t be for everyone. While it doubles the time of the effect, its highly dependant on sunspots to really be effective.
