What is worth buying from Xur this week?
This week, Xur’s inventory offers a few standout items worth your Strange Coins. The Exotic weapon Graviton Lance is a solid choice for players who favor pulse rifles with high stability and crowd-control potential. Warlocks can pick up the Sunbracers for extended Solar grenade duration, a strong pick for aggressive builds. Titans should consider Citan’s Ramparts for defensive strategies in PvP, while Hunters may find Wormhusk Crown useful for its quick health recovery on dodge. Check the rolls on each item before buying to ensure they fit your preferred playstyle.
Here’s some more specific advice on Xur’s wares this week:
Crimson
The Crimson hand cannon arrived in Destiny 2 with the Curse of Osiris expansion. However, Destiny players may recognize it as an offshoot of Red Death, a fan-favorite weapon from the original game. Crimson’s first Exotic perk is Banned Weapon, which causes it to fire in three-round bursts. Its secondary perk. Cruel Remedy, causes Crimson kills to heal the player. If they’re precision kills, the magazine is instantly refilled.
Crimson is an awesome hand cannon, capable of some real destruction in the right hands. This is one of those weapons that players will either love or hate, depending on their preferences. If you enjoyed Red Death in the original Destiny or just love pulse rifles (which also fire in bursts), this is a great hand cannon.
Orpheus Rig
Orpheus Rig can be one of the most useful Exotics in the game, even if it’s been nerfed a few times. Its main perk, Uncanny Arrows, generates additional Super energy for each enemy tethered with Shadowshot. The Moebius Quiver variant also gains more shots. With Orpheus Rig, a well-placed Hunter Super can quickly start regenerating your Super meter. This is helpful in a few different endgame scenarios, including Nightfalls and Raids. If you like Nightstalker, you have to get these legs.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 59 total stats.
Helm of Saint-14
Another returning Destiny Exotic, the Helm of Saint-14 is useful in Destiny 2. Its Exotic perk, Starless Night, causes your Ward of Dawn to blind enemies who walk inside it. Guarding with Sentinel Shield will provide the same result.
The Ward of Dawn is now a very powerful option in Destiny 2, with the Weapons of Light buff increasing player damage. This is a great helmet if you want to keep you and your allies even safer than a normal Ward of Dawn. And it just happens to be one of the coolest-looking Exotics in Destiny 2.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 63 total stats.
Nezarec’s Sin
Nezarec’s Sin isn’t a particularly exciting Warlock Exotic, but it’s very good. The main perk is Abyssal Extractors, which causes Void damage kills to recharge your ability energy – boring but effective. This includes Void damage from your subclass and from your energy or power weapons. If you ever play Voidwalker or have a Void weapon that you use all the time, pick up this great helmet.
Xur’s roll this week comes with 62 total stats.
Exotic Cipher quest
The Exotic Cipher quest gives players another shot at earning a rare currency used to claim old exotic weapons from the Monument to Lost Lights. Each week, Xur offers a task tied to various in-game activities-completing it rewards a single Exotic Cipher. Keeping up with this quest ensures Guardians can expand their collection with powerful exotics that might have been missed in past seasons.
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.
What is Xur’s current location and inventory this week in Destiny 2
Xûr is currently in the Tower Bazaar and, since The Final Shape, he no longer rotates between planets; he now appears in that same Tower location every weekend. His exact inventory for “this week” changes every Friday and is time-sensitive, and up-to-the-minute lists are maintained on live tracking sites rather than in static references, so precise current rolls cannot be confirmed here.
Current location
-
Xûr’s spawn is now fixed in the Tower – Bazaar area, near Ikora and the ramen shop.
-
He appears from Friday reset to Tuesday reset each week (around 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 5 PM GMT) and then disappears until the next Friday.
What he sells each week (structure)
Every current week, Xûr’s inventory follows this structure, even though the specific items and rolls change:
-
One Exotic weapon (varies weekly: could be a primary, special, or heavy PvE or PvP favorite).
-
One Exotic armor piece per class (Hunter, Titan, Warlock), each with random stat distribution.
-
Fated/Exotic Engram plus an Exotic Cipher quest to earn an extra cipher once per
How to reach Xur in Tower Bazaar area step by step
Xûr is in the Tower Bazaar, tucked in a small alley beside the ramen shop near Ikora Rey, and you can reach him in under a minute from orbit.
From Orbit to the Tower
-
Open the Director and select the Tower in the Destinations screen.
-
Choose the Courtyard (or Annex) landing zone and launch into the Tower.
Courtyard to the Bazaar
-
When you spawn in the Courtyard, face forward toward the main vendors (Zavala, Shaxx, Banshee).
-
Go up the stairs on the left side toward the upper area that leads to Ikora Rey and the Bazaar.
Finding the ramen shop
-
Continue through the hallway until the area opens into the Bazaar, where Ikora’s usual spot is.
-
Look to your right for the bright ramen/noodle shop with the neon sign and counter. This is your key landmark.
Xûr’s alley
-
Next to the ramen stand, find the narrow alley or hallway leading off to the side.
-
Walk down this alley; Xûr is standing at the end in the shadows beside a small table or setup. Interact with him to open his inventory.
Quick tips
-
Xûr only appears from Friday reset to Tuesday reset, so if the alley is empty, check the day/time and reload into the Tower if needed.
-
After a couple of visits, using the Courtyard → stairs → Bazaar → ramen shop → alley route will become quick muscle memory each weekend.
