Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. As expected, Bungie finally pulled the curtain back onDestiny 2’s Festival of the Lost event. Bringing back the traditional gameplay of Haunted Sectors and collecting pages for the Book of the Forgotten, players have some new gear to acquire this time around. In addition to new perks on existing Festival weapons, a new Heavy Burst arc shotgun named Arcane Embrace can be obtained.
The bigger news for many plans came with the announcement that, for the first time, theexotic class items inDestiny 2would now be available for purchase for anyone, regardless if Dual Destiny was completed or not. For 1 Eerie Engram and 2500 candies, players could purchase a randomly rolled exotic at Eva. Better yet, doing so would make these items available to farm in Overthrow chest from the Pale Heart as well as purchasable from Xur when they’re in his inventory.
Speaking of Xur, the weekend merchant 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 13, 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.
Promethium Spur - Warlock leg armor
Exotic Perk:
A very unfortunate roll this week for Warlocks with a spike in mobility and a low overall total. Either way, this is a safe skip this week.
Gwisin Vest - Hunter chest armor
While this was previously an easy skip, Episode Revenant provided a much-needed buff to many roaming supers, including Spectral Blades. As players continue to test out the best builds this episode, the Gwisin Vest is a great pickup for Spectral Blades users only.
Dunemarchers - Titan leg armor
Similar to the Warlock’s exotic this week, the Dunemarchers have a very unfortunate roll with overly high Intellect and Mobility. It’s another very hard item to recommend this week.
Stat Values (65 total):
