Xur’s inventory for July 7-11 features a solid mix of exotic and legendary gear for Guardians looking to refresh their loadouts. This week, he offers the exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon and the Dead Man’s Tale scout rifle with new rolls. For armor, Titans can pick up the Citan’s Ramparts gauntlets, Hunters get the St0mp-EE5 boots, and Warlocks can grab the Phoenix Protocol chest piece. His legendary weapons rotation includes a range of pulse rifles, shotguns, and machine guns, each with different perk combinations worth checking out before his departure on Tuesday.

What is worth buying from Xur this week?
Xur’s inventory this week offers several strong picks for different playstyles. The Exotic weapon, The Colony, stands out for PvP thanks to its tracking grenades that can pressure opponents behind cover. Raiden Flux is a great grab for Hunters who enjoy Arc Staff supers, offering extended duration and higher damage output. Titans should check Citan’s Ramparts for their utility in team-based modes, while Warlocks may appreciate Astrocyte Verse for faster Blink use in Crucible. If you’re low on Legendary Shards, grab an Exotic Engram to fill missing collection gaps.
Here’s some more specific advice on Xur’s wares this week:
Coldheart
This was a pre-order-exclusive gun when Destiny 2 first launched in 2017, and became available to all when Curse of Osiris was released in December of that year. Coldheart is a trace rifle, meaning it fires in a constant beam. Its first exotic perk, Cold Fusion, causes the Coldheart to fire in a beam made of Arc damage. Its secondary perk, Longest Winter, causes Coldheart to deal more and more damage the longer it remains on the same target.
This weapon is super fun to use and can be pretty powerful in certain PvE situations, and you should pick it up if you missed it previously.
Wormhusk Crown
Wormhusk Crown is one of the campaign Exotics from Warmind, so you may already have a good roll from 2018. But with the Warmind campaign gone, the easiest way to get a new roll is to buy it from Xur this week. The Exotic perk is Burning Souls, which heals you after dodging.
This is a very powerful helmet in the Crucible. If you’re a PvP player, you should pick this up.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 66 total stats.
Stronghold
These gauntlets have the Exotic perk Clenched Fist, where your sword gets maximum guard stats while you use it and also causes you to take reduced damage while guarding. Damaging enemies shortly after blocking damage will heal you.
This Exotic’s usefulness is heavily dependent on how useful swords are in the current meta. But when swords are good, this is a very powerful Exotic to have on your Titan, so it’s worth picking up for a rainy day.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 67 total stats.
Wings of Sacred Dawn
Wings of Sacred Dawn is one of the weirdest looking Exotics in all of Destiny 2. Its Exotic perk, Tome of Sacred Dawn, allows you to hover while aiming in the air, keeping you suspended for a short period of time. The more weapon hits you get while floating, the longer you stay up. This Exotic also heavily modifies the Airborne Effectiveness stat for weapons while you’re wearing it.
Dawnblade is quite powerful, which makes this Exotic a ton of fun to use. If you like floating in the air and flinging fire, check this Exotic out.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 67 total stats.
Exotic Cipher quest
Xur hides an Exotic Cipher as a reward in the Exotic Cipher quest. Players complete it by purchasing Strange Coins from him over multiple weeks, then claiming the cipher from the quest’s final step. This method offers a steady path to powerful gear upgrades without relying on random drops.
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.
Which Xûr items are best for PvE this week
Xûr’s best PvE items this week prioritize strong ad-clear weapons, boss damage options, and high-stat exotics that enhance survivability or ability uptime, based on recent inventories from sites like whereisxur.com and community breakdowns.
Top Weapons
Legendary weapons stand out for PvE utility. Eternity’s Edge (Warlock sword with Infinite Guard perks) enables near-endless blocking in endgame content like raids. Interference VI (grenade launcher with Clown Cartridge/Full Court) delivers massive add-clear damage as a top Arc heavy option. Martyr’s Retribution (wave-frame launcher with Envious Assassin/Strategist) overflows magazines for horde-clearing in any activity.
Recommended Exotics
Exotic armor focuses on build-enabling pieces with solid stats (60+ totals). Pyrogale Gauntlets (Titan) boost Burning Maul cyclones for fiery AoE clears. Eternal Warrior (Titan helmet) grants overshields on Fists of Havoc, improving tankiness. Grab catalysts for Hawkmoon or Vigilance Wing if missing them, as they amplify sustained damage.
Purchase Priority
Prioritize Eternity’s Edge first for its god-roll status, then Interference VI for broad PvE use. Check armor stats via Ghost mods for your class-avoid low rolls below 60. Xûr departs Tuesday reset, so farm multiples over the weekend.
Which PvE builds benefit most from this week’s Xûr items
PvE builds leveraging this week’s Xûr items excel in ability spam, survivability, and ad-clear scenarios like raids, dungeons, and Grandmaster Nightfalls.
Warlock Builds
Eternity’s Edge sword powers infinite guard setups on Prismatic or Strand subclasses, pairing with Sanguine Alchemy chest (63 stats, +30 Grenade) for constant grenade/super loops via Well of Radiance or Broodweaver. Interference VI grenade launcher enhances Broodweaver shatter builds, overflowing mags for room-clearing in high-end content.
Titan Builds
No Backup Plans gauntlets boost Void Striker brawler loops, granting overshields on shotgun kills alongside Eternal Warrior helmet (61 stats, +30 Super) for Fists of Havoc tanking in GMs. Pyrogale Gauntlets transform Burning Maul into cyclone AoE, ideal for Solar Consecration add-clear with high melee uptime.
Hunter Builds
Quickfang sword fits maximum mobility Strand grappler setups with Ophidia Spathe chest for dual throwing knives, chaining melee into Ophidian Aspect dodges. Interference VI or Martyr’s Retribution wave launcher supports explosive add-clear on Prismatic Threadrunner, freeing heavies for bosses.
