Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. Changes are once again on the horizon as Bungie’s weekly blog post had plenty of new details, including a lengthy discussion on the state of the Crucible. The much discussed Dual Destiny mission, which leads toDestiny 2’s first exotic class armor item, is also seeing some tweaks.
With a ton of different perk options,Destiny 2’s exotic class armor can be a tricky thing to farm, especially when looking for a very specific roll. In an upcoming update, Bungie is increasing the odds for the armor to drop when looting chests in the Pale Heart. Those odds increase even more when participating in the Overthrow activity, including higher teirs during the activity. Not only that, Bungie is adding aweekly challenge to the Dual Destiny mission inDestiny 2, giving a second cclass item drop upon completion every week, per class.
In the meantime, the weekend merchant Xur 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 July 23, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar of The Tower, so there’s no more hunting when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar area is 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 little 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 Perks:
A solid option for Voidwalkers who want to keep their abilities ready to go more often than usual, just make sure to get void kills.
Graviton Forfeit - Hunter helmet
Exotic Perk:
Voidwalkers, who don’t want to rely too heavily on the Orpheus Rig boots, will want to check out this item, which is very cool at increasing survivability thanks to its enhanced invisibility effects. Roll is also very good this week.
Heart of Inmost Light - Titan chest armor
Another week with a Titan exotic that doesn’t have high mobility is always nice, even if this one is okay. The roll is solid and the effects it gives are certainly helpful, though it may not be replacing any of the top Titan options anytime soon.
