Summary
- Xur is back in Destiny 2 with new gear for players to explore for a limited time.
- For exotic armor, Xur has Astrocyte Verse, Oathkeeper, and An insurmountable Skullfort.
- Xur's exotic weapons include a new Hawkmoon, Monte Carlo, Riskrunner, and The Prospector.
Xur has returned again to Destiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. It's a new week for the game and the Destiny 2's Rite of the Nine event continues on by making Prophecy as the featured dungeon for the next two weeks. Next week will see an increased resource drop rate, though it gets more interesting after that with all three dungeons coming back as well as a "lootapalooza" event coming in July.
This week also brought a new Destiny 2 update for players to download, putting an end to a variety of issues and bugs still impacting the game. The June update makes adjustments to a few weapons, fixes an annoying bug with Rite of the NIne, as well as making the Seeker of the Nine Triumph a bit easier to complete, which will, in turn, make the Eternal title faster to achieve for some.
Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: New Activities, Challenges, and Rewards
The weekly reset for Destiny 2 is live and here are all of the new details including activity rotations, seasonal challenges, and much more.
In the meantime, the exotic merchant Xur has returned with a new inventory of gear for Destiny 2 players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he's brought for the weekend of June 6, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there's no more hunting needed when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are hanging out and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley hiding Xur is to the right.
Destiny 2 Exotic Class Armor
Xur's role has continued to expand and evolve over the years. Alongside The Final Shape expansion, Xur's inventory in Destiny 2 expanded even more, moving back to Strange Coins as the currency of choice and features rank rewards, resources, and of course, armor and weapons.
Astrocyte Verse - Warlock helmet
Exotic Perks:
-
Move to Survive
- Blink further and more frequently, causing targets near you to become volatile. Weapon readies quickly out of Blink and radar remains up. While your Nova Warp Super is active, Dark Blink does not cost Super energy. Provides a moderate benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of all weapons.
We've finally reached 70! The unfortunate bit here is that the Mobility stat is a little higher than most Warlocks would like, but still, its worth a grab, especially for you PvP Voidwalkers.
Stat Values (70 Total):
- Mobility +21
- Resilience +2
- Recovery +13
- Discipline +26
- Intellect +2
- Strength +6
Oathkeeper - Hunter gauntlets
Exotic Perk:
-
Adamantine Brace
- Bow charges can be held indefinitely. Gain a bonus to the Bow's damage when released, based on how long the charge was held. Provides a moderate benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of Bows.
An tough recommendation this week even for Bow users. There are just better options out there currently. However, a case can be made for this one because the roll is pretty even across the board, so it might be worth picking up to replace a worse roll or collection version.
Stat Values (67 Total):
- Mobility +11
- Resilience +12
- Recovery +13
- Discipline +15
- Intellect +10
- Strength +6
An Insurmountable Skullfort - Titan helmet
Exotic Perk:
-
Transfusion Matrix
- Final blows with Arc melees trigger health regeneration and fully restore a melee charge. Melee hits grant Arc melee energy.
Not only does this have the lowest roll this week, Mobility is the highest value, which makes it a very hard item to recommend. Pass on this one.
Stat Values (63 total):
- Mobility +23
- Resilience +3
- Recovery +8
- Discipline +11
- Intellect +2
- Strength +16
