Xur’s vanishing act returns this week with a fresh stash of exotic weapons and armor-will your hunter, titan, or warlock walk away clutching the prize?
Here is where to find Xur in Destiny 2, and what he is selling.
Xur location this week, April 21 to 25
Xur is stationed on Nessus this week, perched on the large tree in Watcher’s Grave from April 21 to 25, and can be reached by loading into the Watcher’s Grave landing zone and heading toward the red moss-covered branches where he waits above the area.
This week, you can find Xur on Nessus, hanging out on the big tree in theWatcher’s Grave.

Xur’s items drop at a power level similar to that of your character.
What is worth buying from Xur this week?
This week, Xur’s best pickup is the Vigilance Wing pulse rifle, valued for its strong burst damage and team-survival perks in both PvP and PvE. Hunters should check the Raiden Flux chest piece for its super energy returns on arc combos. Titans can find solid use in the Actium War Rig, perfect for sustained fire with auto rifles. Warlocks may want the Lunafaction Boots, which remain practical for rift-focused support. Grab these if you’re refining your loadout for high-end activities.
Here’s some more specific advice on Xur’s wares this week, April 21 to 25:
THE WARDCLIFF COIL
THE WARDCLIFF COIL
The Wardcliff Coil is one of the most fun and unique guns in Destiny 2. Its first exotic perk is Mad Scientist, which causes the Wardcliff Coil to fire a volley of rockets. The secondary perk, Mechanized Autoloader, automatically reloads the magazine when the user walks over heavy ammo.
This rocket launcher is hard to aim, requiring some kind of strange sweeping motion to aim the rockets where you want them to land. But the effort is worth it, and the Catalyst for Wardcliff will tighten the spread if you get lucky enough to pick it up. In Nightfalls and Public Events, the Wardcliff Coil can decimate groups of enemies in an instant. If you don’t have this gun, pick it up before Xur goes away this week.
THE BOMBARDIERS
The Bombardiers, Hunter boots from Year 3, drop a bomb after dodging that matches your subclass: Solar scorch, Arc blind, Void suppress, Stasis slow, or Strand sever. Xûr offers them this week with 64 total stats, strong mobility, recovery, and discipline. Pair with agile builds for close-quarters fights.
The Bombardiers are Year 3 Hunter legs with a silly and mostly useless perk – or rather, it used to be useless. Parting Gift leaves a bomb on the ground when the Hunter dodges, which then explodes and deals a bit of damage. While this previously didn’t do much, the bomb now changes based on your subclass, burning enemies with Solar, slowing enemies with Stasis, blinding targets with Arc, and suppressing targets with Void. This is a bizarre Exotic that’s potentially useful now, especially if you’re often in close quarters.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 64 total stats.
AN INSURMOUNTABLE SKULLFORT
Xur brings the Skullfort back for Titans this week, giving Striker mains another shot at this classic Exotic. Its signature perk instantly regenerates health and shields after kills with Arc melee abilities, making it deadly in both PvE and Crucible. Paired with builds focused on melee uptime, it turns Titans into aggressive powerhouses that thrive on constant brawls and fast ability loops.
An Insurmountable Skullfort is an excellent PvE and PvP Exotic for Striker Titans. Its Transfusion Matrix perk will cause your melee ability kills to instantly trigger health regeneration as well as fully restore melee energy. If you’re a Titan player and you don’t have this yet, rectify that.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 65 total stats.
OPHIDIAN ASPECT
Xur returns with a curated selection for April 21-25, favoring weapons and armor that excel in unpredictable encounters and high-risk activities, while offering options that balance power, utility, and alignment with current meta complements.
The Ophidian Aspect gauntlets were first released with Curse of Osiris. Their exotic perk is Cobra Totemic, which causes weapons handled by the wearer to ready and reload faster than normal. As a bonus, melee range is also extended. These are great “anytime” exotics. No matter what kind of activity you’re doing, you’d be better off wearing these gauntlets than not. Pick them up for yourself and see what you think.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 63 total stats.
Exotic Cipher quest
Players can earn an Exotic Cipher from Xur’s weekly quest, which can be completed once per account. The task usually involves completing a set of activities such as Strikes or Crucible matches while wielding specific types of weapons. Finishing all objectives rewards an Exotic Cipher, a valuable currency used to purchase past Exotic weapons from the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower.
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.
How to reach Xur at Watcher’s Grave on Nessus
To reach Xûr at Watcher’s Grave on Nessus in Destiny 2, fast travel to the Watcher’s Grave landing zone.
Step-by-Step Directions
Spawn at the landing zone and hop on your Sparrow. Head north along the main path through the Vex area until you spot a massive red tree covered in pink moss-this is unmissable amid the purple landscape.
Dismount your Sparrow at the tree’s base, then climb the large branches (jump and grapple if needed). Xûr spawns on the south-facing branch near the top, overlooking the area.
Expect minor enemy encounters en route, but the path is straightforward and takes under a minute.
