Xur offers Lord of Wolves shotgun, Lucky Raspberry Hunter arms, Crest of Alpha Lupi Titan chest, and Geomag Stabilizers Warlock legs this week. The Lord of Wolves stands out for PvE and PvP with its Shrapnel Launcher and Release the Wolves perks that boost damage output. Grab the Exotic Engram if shards allow, plus Hawkmoon or Dead Man’s Tale for random rolls, and pick up legendary weapons like Firefright or Deafening Whisper based on your build needs.

Here’s some more specific advice on Xur’s wares this week, March 17 to 21:

LORD OF WOLVES

Lord of Wolves stands out as Xûr’s shotgun offering this week, a Solar Exotic from Forsaken with Shrapnel Launcher firing fiery projectiles in a line. Its Release the Wolves mode doubles ammo per shot and boosts damage for close-range power in PvE and PvP. Priced at 29 Legendary Shards, it holds value despite balance tweaks.

Lord of Wolves is a Forsaken shotgun. Its Exotic perk is Shrapnel Launcher, which causes the weapon to fire a burst of flaming shrapnel in a line. Its secondary perk is Release the Wolves. Holding the reload button activates an alternate fire mode for Lord of Wolves that fires double the ammunition with every trigger pull and deals bonus damage.

Lord of Wolves is a great shotgun in both PvE and PvP. A few years ago, it was so powerful that Bungie awarded an emblem to players who had to deal with it in PvP. Bungie has since nerfed the gun, but it’s still an interesting weapon to use in multiplayer or PvE.

LUCKY RASPBERRY

Lucky Raspberry offers Hunters the Probability Matrix perk, which boosts Arc Bolt grenades by granting a chance to generate Orbs of Power on damage and chain lightning to more foes. Xur sells this chest armor for 23 Legendary Shards during March 17-21, with a roll featuring 14 Mobility, 21 Discipline, and 68 total stats. Players value its grenade support in Arc builds, though it ranks average among Hunter Exotics.

The Hunter Exotic this week is Lucky Raspberry. The main perk here is Probability Matrix, which enhances your Arc Bolt grenade, giving it a chance to reset after dealing damage and causing it to chain more effectively. The cooldown is also reset on a full chain. This chest piece is pretty mediocre compared to other Hunter Exotics – although some players love it.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 68 total stats.

CREST OF ALPHA LUPI

The Crest of Alpha Lupi is a Titan chest piece focused on team support, giving you an extra Orb of Power when you cast your Super and triggering a healing pulse whenever you place your Barricade, keeping both you and nearby allies in the fight longer. Its stat roll from Xur this week sits at a solid total of 68, making it a strong pickup if you want to lean into defensive or utility-focused builds rather than pure damage. Pair it with frequent Barricade usage and super-generating mods to create a constant flow of healing and Orbs for your fireteam during tougher seasonal or endgame activities.

The Crest of Alpha Lupi is an awesome Titan chest piece. Its exotic perk, Survival Well, causes Supers to generate more orbs of light. Barricade will start health regeneration for nearby allies when deployed, too. This is great for some PvE content and extremely powerful in competitive PvP. Don’t miss this chest piece.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 64 total stats.

GEOMAG STABILIZERS

Geomag Stabilizers are Warlock leg armor that extend Chaos Reach duration while damaging foes and grant super energy from Ionic Traces. Xûr stocks these exotic boots March 17-21, paired with solid stats for Arc builds focused on frequent supers. Grab them to chain laser blasts against tough enemies in strikes or raids.

Geomag Stabilizers are new Exotic boots from Destiny 2: Forsaken. Their Exotic perk is Close Enough, which causes Chaos Reach to last longer while you’re dealing damage with it. This is a fantastic Warlock Exotic. If you don’t have them yet, make sure to pick these up.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 67 total stats.

Exotic Cipher quest

Xur’s Exotic Cipher quest opens with a cryptic trail across the Cosmodrome, guiding you to hidden caches, guarded by cunning foes and radiant puzzles that test both wit and lightning-fast reflexes.

Starting in Beyond Light, Xur has a new quest for an Exotic Cipher. The Exotic Cipher lets you buy old Exotics from the Monuments to Lost Light kiosk in the Tower. You’ll need these items and some other currencies to pick up Exotics like Heir Apparent and Truth.

Are March 17-21 Xur exotics good for PvE or PvP

PvE Viability
Lord of Wolves excels in PvE for add-clear and boss DPS, even post-nerfs, thanks to its Wolfpack Rounds that chain damage effectively against groups. Lucky Raspberry boosts Hunter Arc builds by enhancing grenade chains via Probability Matrix, ideal for ability spam in strikes or raids. Crest of Alpha Lupi aids Titan survivability by speeding barricade regen on ability use, supporting Void setups in endgame content.

PvP Viability
Lord of Wolves saw PvP nerfs, limiting its close-range dominance, though it remains situational for aggressive plays. Lucky Raspberry offers Hunter utility with Discipline spikes (up to 21), aiding grenade-focused PvP builds. Geomag Stabilizers shine for Warlock Supers like Chaos Reach, extending duration in Trials or Control, despite lower Recovery. Hawkmoon with Rangefinder perks strong for PvP range control.

Versatility Ratings

These are based on the 2023 March 17-21 rotation (EDZ Winding Cove); 2026 rolls may differ-check in-game weekly.

Best builds using Lucky Raspberry for PvE

Lucky Raspberry is a Hunter exotic chest that boosts Arcbolt Grenade damage and grants extra grenade energy on Jolt application, making it excellent for ability spam in PvE like raids, GMs, and Nightfalls.​​

Core Build Mechanics

Arc 3.0 subclass leverages Lucky Raspberry’s Probability Matrix for constant grenades via Jolt procs from Arcbolt Grenades, Tempest Strike, or Ascension. Key loop: Throw grenade to Jolt groups (now chains to 4 targets post-buffs), regen energy instantly, repeat for add-clear and survivability. Pair with artifact perks like Shock and Awe or Dielectric for healing on Jolted kills and amplified states.

Recommended Aspects and Abilities

• Aspects: Tempest Strike (melee Jolt applicator), Ascension (dodge Jolt burst).​

• Grenade: Arcbolt (core synergy for chaining).​

• Fragments: Spark of Recharge (faster regen while critically wounded), Spark of Resistance (surrounded DR), Spark of Beacons (Ionic Traces).​

• Super: Storm Grenades or Gathering Storm for boss phases.​

Stats and Mods

Prioritize 100 Discipline/Recovery. Helmet: Heavyhanded (orbs on kills); Arms: Impact Induction (melee-to-grenade); Chest: Arc Resistance; Legs: Recuperation, Innervation; Classy: Bomber or Outreach. Weapons: Voltshot energy gun (e.g., Riskrunner), Trinity Ghoul for Jolt procs, or Centrifuse with artifact support.​

Playstyle Tips

Spam Arcbolt on adds to chain Jolt, use Tempest Strike for singles/champions, dodge for Ascension bursts-maintains near-100% uptime in endgame. Strong vs. Overload champs (Arcbolt stuns) and excels in Arc-focused GMs. DIM links from sources like Pharaoh Rising offer full exports.
