Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. With the launch of the Vesper’s Host dungeon inDestiny 2, players have been getting their hands on the latest exotic sniper rifle, Ice Breaker. Theunique rifle is actually a returning weapon from the originalDestiny, noted for its ability to essentially regenerate ammo after a set amount of time has passed. While this newly updated version acts similarly, players can instead generate ammo for it by eliminating enemies, with more difficult ones generating more ammo per kill.
Later in November, players will be able to get even more new gear whenIron Banner returns toDestiny 2. During Episode Revenant, players can get their hands on brand-new armor called Iron Intent alongside a remastered verson of the Archon’s Thunder machine gun, which is now Satasis infused. For many fans though, the real gem during Iron Banner will be Tinasha’s Mastery, a new stasis rocket sidearm which will likely pair well with the episode’s heavy focus on the Stasis element.
For now though, the weekend merchant Xur has returned with a new inventory of exotics and legendary gear forDestiny 2players. 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 July 25, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there’s no more hunting 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 and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley is to the right, where Xur is standing.
Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher
Xur’s role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary toacquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cipher by completing strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches. Gain bonus points for playing with clan mates or finishing more challenging activities.
Crown of Tempests - Warlock helmet
Exotic Perk:
A huge Resilience spike this week for the Crown of Tempests, a very important exotic helmet for Stormtrance Warlocks. If that’s not a super or subclass a warlock player uses, then this helmet holds zero value.
Celestial Nighthawk - Hunter helmet
This is an absolute must own for Golden Gun hunters, though it’s an older exotic so it’s entirely likely that most players own it by now. If not, or if this roll is better, this is an easy buy this week.
Wormhod Caress - Titan gauntlets
At one time, this exotic was giving Titans extreme damage thanks to a bug. While these may not be as supercharged as they once were, they’re still a solid subclass neutral exotic that pairs well with a whole lot of builds.
