What is worth buying from Xur this week?
This week, Xur’s best purchase for most players is his Exotic weapon, especially if it rolls with strong perks for your preferred activity. Check each class’s Exotic armor carefully: grab any piece that fills a hole in your collection or offers a high stat total with a good distribution in key stats like Recovery, Discipline, or Resilience. Newer or returning players should prioritize Exotics they do not own yet, while veterans can focus on standout armor rolls and any god-roll legendary weapons that suit their current builds.
Here’s some more specific advice on Xur’s wares this week:
Black Talon
Black Talon is a powerful Exotic sword from the Forsaken expansion. Its Exotic perk, Crow’s Wings, allows it to fire a Void projectile after two subsequent heavy attacks. Its trait, Tireless Blade, regenerates ammo on certain powerful attack kills.
Black Talon is a very powerful sword right now. Adding a ranged attack to a sword takes away a lot of the weapon type’s usual danger. Instead of slamming your blade into enemies in their face, you can blast at them from a safe distance. If you don’t have Black Talon, you should add it to your collection.
Lucky Pants
Lucky Pants are very powerful in select situations. Their Exotic perk, Illegally Modded Holster, allows you to ready hand cannons very quickly, and it also increases accuracy and for your first shot. You also get bonus damage for Kinetic hand cannons if they’re fully reloaded when you ready them. For certain hand cannon builds – like any with the Malfeasance hand cannon – these boots are incredible. But they do require using a hand cannon, so they’re very meta dependent.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 63 total stats.
Synthoceps
Synthoceps buff melee damage and super damage by a flat amount while you’re surrounded by three or more enemies. This is a very powerful Exotic in PvE.
The Biotic Enhancements intrinsic perk offers “increased melee lunge range” as well as “improved melee and Super damage when surrounded.” These are one of the most powerful Titan Exotics in the game, and always benefit you for wearing them. If you don’t have these, buy them!
Xur’s roll this week comes with 70 total stats.
Getaway Artist
Getaway Artist is a Warlock Exotic from Season of the Drifter. Its Exotic perk is Dynamic Duo. This perk lets you sacrifice your grenade in exchange for a powerful Arc turret that follows you around. Getaway Artist is a really fun and cool Warlock Exotic. If you don’t have it in your collection yet, you should definitely pick it up.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 64 total stats.
Exotic Cipher quest
Exotic Cipher quest tasks players with completing specific objectives across Destiny 2 activities to earn this rare currency. It requires Nightfall completions on higher difficulties, high scores in Dares of Eternity, and wins in Competitive Crucible or Trials of Osiris. Track progress in the quest log, as steps rotate weekly with vendor resets. Success grants access to exclusive Exotic armors or weapons from Xur’s stock.
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.
Show me how to get to Xur in the Tower this weekend
Xûr now has a permanent spot in the Tower Bazaar area every weekend, making him easy to reach from Friday reset through Tuesday reset.
Step-by-Step Directions
Land at the Tower: The Courtyard landing zone. Head straight past Banshee-44 and the weapon vault kiosk, then go down the stairs into the hallway.
Continue through the hallway until you reach the Bazaar area near Ikora Rey and Hawthorne. Turn right just before the ramen shop (Eververse area), and look for Xûr in the small nook or corner there.
If he doesn’t appear immediately, try flying out to orbit and landing back at the Tower, or switch characters-common fixes for loading issues.
Quick Tips
-
Xûr arrives at weekly reset (10 AM PT Friday) and stays until Tuesday reset.
-
Use sites like whereisxur.com for maps if needed, confirming his fixed Tower Bazaar spot post-The Final Shape.
Directions to the Tower Bazaar area from the Tower spawn point
From the Tower spawn point at the Courtyard landing zone, head forward past Banshee-44 and the weapon vault kiosk.
Directions to Bazaar
Ascend the stairs directly ahead into the upper market area known as the Bazaar, where Ikora Rey stands near the center.
Spot the ramen stand (noodle shop) on your right with its bright neon lights as a key landmark. Turn right into the narrow alley beside it and proceed a short distance to reach the end, where Xûr waits in the shadowed nook or corner table.
Arrival Tips
This path takes under 30 seconds on foot; sprint if needed. Xûr’s spot is fixed in the Tower Bazaar post-The Final Shape expansion, available weekends from Friday reset to Tuesday reset.
