Xur has landed with a cache that could turn the tides of your arsenal-here’s where to hunt and what to snag from December 9-13.
Xur’s inventory this week consists of the following:
- Sweet Business, Kinetic auto rifle: 29 Legendary Shards
- Gemini Jester, Hunter legs: 23 Legendary Shards

- Claws of Ahamkara, Warlock gauntlet: 23 Legendary Shards
- Exotic Engram: 97 Legendary Shards (you can now purchase a second with an Exotic Cipher)

As of Season of the Risen and The Witch Queen, Xur sells a random roll of both Hawkmoon and Dead Man’s Tale each week.
Here’s what he’s selling this weekend:
- Hawkmoon, Kinetic hand cannon (Paracausal Shot): 125,000 Glimmer, 200 Legendary Shards, Exotic Cipher, Ascendant Shard

As of Season of the Lost, Xur also sells a collection of old armor and weapons – similar to Banshee-44 and Ada-1. Usually, these items are difficult to find and from seasons long past. Each item (whether armor or weapon) costs only 1,000 Glimmer and 50 Legendary Shards.

Xur’s items drop at a power level similar to that of your character.
Sweet Business
Sweet Business remains a powerhouse for Titans who enjoy sustained fire. Its large magazine and steady recoil control make it perfect for shredding waves of enemies or suppressing opponents in PvP. With the right armor mods that boost auto rifle handling or reload speed, it becomes even more reliable. Pairing it with Actium War Rig keeps the bullets flowing without pause, turning the Guardian into a walking turret.
Sweet Business is a beautiful Exotic minigun that you can use in your Kinetic slot. Its Exotic perk, Payday, allows the weapon to hold 150 rounds, and provides great accuracy when it’s fired from the hip. The Business Time perk increases the weapon’s range and rate of fire when holding down the trigger. As a bonus, any Kinetic ammo you walk over will be instantly loaded into the clip if Business Time is active.
Sweet Business is fun as hell to use, but not exactly “meta.” You won’t be using this gun for Nightfalls, raids, or any other serious content. But it’s an absolute blast, and we recommend you pick it up just for having fun out in the world.
Gemini Jester
Xur appears on Stranger’s Isle, offering the Techeun Warbench questline and a rotating batch of exotic items, including a versatile gauntlet that pairs well with melee builds and a bow that rewards precision shots, along with a few complementary rolls to boost Cabbage, I mean, Corpus, synergy for your evolving loadout.
Gemini Jester is one of the Exotics added in Curse of Osiris. Its main Exotic perk is Misdirection. If you dodge near an enemy, you’ll disorient them, removing their radar if they’re a human player. This is a decent PvP Exotic if you’re sick of running the classics. Just beware that you need to be close to be effective.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 62 total stats.
Eternal Warrior
A report from Xur highlights the exotic lineup for December 9-13, guiding Guardians toward powerful picks to bolster their Crucible and PvE runs, with emphasis on synergy, roles, and practical upgrades for ongoing Destiny 2 adventures.
Eternal Warrior is a returning Titan helmet from Destiny. This time around, Eternal Warrior offers the Resolute intrinsic perk. When activating Fists of Havoc – the Striker Titan Super – you’ll gain an overshield.
This is a hard Exotic to place, especially before Arc 3.0. Activating your Super already gives you bonus defense, so an overshield would make you essentially invincible. If you play Striker in highly competitive PvP – like Trials of Osiris – this is a great helmet to wear when you don’t need anything else.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 68 total stats.
Destiny 2 guide
Xur has arrived once again in Destiny 2, bringing a fresh rotation of exotic gear and legendary items for Guardians to purchase. From December 9 to 13, players can find him offering his unique collection of armor pieces, weapons, and an exotic cipher quest. His inventory gives a good chance to fill in missing exotic slots or upgrade your current loadout before the weekend activities reset.

Claws of Ahamkara
Claws of Ahamkara grant Warlocks an additional melee charge, letting them make better use of their melee-focused builds. This exotic also boosts melee regeneration, allowing faster ability cycling during combat. It’s a strong pick for subclasses that benefit from frequent melee hits, such as Void or Solar builds, and pairs well with mods that enhance melee energy return.
The Claws of Ahamkara are Warlock gauntlets added in Destiny 2‘s Warmind expansion. Their exotic perk, The Whispers, grants any Warlock that wears these gloves an extra melee charge. Warlocks have some pretty powerful melee abilities, so these are great gloves if you love getting up close with your enemies.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 62 total stats.
Exotic Cipher quest
The Exotic Cipher quest from Xur gives Guardians a chance to earn a rare currency used to purchase older exotic weapons from the Monument to Lost Lights. Each week, players can complete a set of objectives provided by Xur to claim their reward. This quest is especially useful for those chasing legacy gear or filling gaps in their exotic collection 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.
How to get to Winding Cove in EDZ for Xur
To reach Winding Cove in the EDZ for Xur in Destiny 2, land at the Winding Cove fast travel point (northern EDZ sector). From the spawn, hop on your Sparrow and head north along the left path under the crumbling overpass.
Step-by-Step Directions
-
Drive north past the public event area until you hit a sharp bend with a cliff opening on your left.
-
Dismount, enter the cave/tunnel in the cliff face, and climb up to the ridge above.
-
Xur waits near a crashed Fallen dropship on the cliff edge, often with Fallen enemies nearby-clear them first.
Note: Post-The Final Shape, Xur stays in The Tower’s Bazaar most weeks, but this EDZ spot recurs occasionally.
