From May 13 to May 17 in Destiny 2, Guardians can once more find Xur at the Winding Cove in the EDZ. The servant of The Nine is selling a new array of Exotic and Legendary items this weekend, that Hunter and Titan mains may appreciate, while the Warlocks may find it best to hold off on their class items. This is one of the final weekends in Destiny 2: Season of the Risen where players can meet with Xur, so definitely check out his wares before the weekly reset on Tuesday.
Xur can either be everyone's favorite or least favorite vendor, depending on what he has in stock during any given weekend. Among his newer Exotic items are Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale, which feature a different roll every weekend as well. Lastly, with Xur's return, Guardians can either pick up or turn in their Exotic Cipher quest at the vendor, allowing them to spend the material on a new Exotic Engram or an item from the Exotic Archive in the Tower.
Unfortunately, players can skip the DMT and Hawkmoon rolls in Destiny 2 that Xur has from May 13 to May 17 as neither of them are good. For two weeks in a row, Xur's Hawkmoon has Killing Wind while the DMT has Moving Target. While the perks aren't terrible, neither one is a God Roll that Guardians should get their hands on. Since these rolls change every weekend, players should just hold out for a different perk combination at a later time.
Destiny 2: Where Is Xur? Exotic Weapons & Armor (May 13 - May 17)
- Cerberus +1 - Exotic Kinetic Auto Rifle
- Graviton Forfeit (Hunter Exotic) - 63 Stat Roll with great Discipline, and good Resilience, Recovery, and Strength
- Synthoceps (Titan Exotic) - 63 Stat Roll with great Intellect, and good Resilience, Mobility, and Strength
- Nezarec's Sin (Warlock Exotic) - 60 Stat Roll with great Discipline and Recovery, as well as good Mobility
Guardians who don't already own Cerberus +1 should definitely pick up the Exotic Auto Rifle from Xur. Hunter and Warlocks can benefit from their Exotic armor's Character Stats in Destiny 2, provided they don't already have a better option for either piece. Titans should also pick up the Synthoceps since the 18 Intellect roll synergizes with a build that focuses on Super usage.
Destiny 2: Xur's Legendary Weapons & Armor (May 13 - 17)
- Bite of the Fox (Kinetic Sniper Rifle) - Aggressive Frame, Threat Detector/Opening Shot, previously vaulted Iron Banner weapon for PvP
- The Last Dance (Arc Side Arm) - Omolon Adaptive Frame, Moving Target/Dragonfly, synergizes with a Chromatic Fire build
- Shattered Cipher (Void Machine Gun) - Rapid-Fire Frame, Field Prep/Surrounded, only Void Machine Gun obtainable outside of a Raid
- Sojourner's Tale (Solar Shotgun) - Pinpoint Slug Frame, Moving Target/Adrenaline Junkie, safe to pass on this weapon
- Gridskipper (Void Pulse Rifle) - Rapid-Fire Frame, Tunnel Vision/Frenzy, a fantastic option for Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard activities in Destiny 2
- Farewell (Kinect Side Arm) - Lightweight Frame, Heating Up/Adrenaline Junkie, niche use for Grenade PvP build, has potential for future seasons with an Anti-Champion Side Arm mod
- Sorrow's Verse (Arc Auto Rifle) - Adaptive Frame, Outlaw/One For All, solid PvE option that is good for players without a better Arc Auto Rifle
All players should purchase the Gridskipper roll from Xur because it also has a Range Masterwork. The Last Dance and Farewell rolls have their uses inside of niche builds. Players can buy the other weapons at their own discretion in Destiny 2.
- Titan Armor Stats - Gauntlets (56), Chest Armor (61), Helmet (55), Leg Armor (66)
- Warlock Armor Stats - Gauntlets (59), Chest Armor (64), Helmet (66), Leg Armor (59)
- Hunter Armor Stats - Gauntlets (65), Chest Armor (58), Helmet (67), Leg Armor (58)
Hunters need to get to Xur as soon as possible. Between the Graviton Forfeit and gauntlets that have 15 Mobility, 15 Recovery, and 25 Discipline, now is the perfect time for Guardians to tweak their best Void Hunter build in Destiny 2. Titans have a fantastic Chest Armor piece with Xur as well, sporting a 21 Discipline and 19 Resilience roll. Warlocks can pass on armor this week. Some of the armor spikes are great but in all the wrong places.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Google Stadia platforms.
