Destiny 2 Xur Location and Items, September 24-28


The weekly Exotic Merchant Xur is found in random locations throughout the Destiny world. On Destiny 2, it can appear all over the map, as well as inside the Tower. This week, you can find Xur in the EDZ, standing on a cliff overlooking the Winding cove.

Xur’s inventory this week consists of the following:

  • Merciless Solar Fusion Rifle: 29 Legendary Shards
  • Shinobu’s Vow, Hunter’s Gauntlets: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Caress of the Worm God, Titan Helmet: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Veil of Apotheosis, Warlock Helmet: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Exotic Engram: 97 Legendary Shards (you can now buy a second with an Exotic cipher)
  • Exotic Cipher Lookup: Free

As of Season of the Lost, Xur also sells a collection of ancient armor and weapons, similar to Banshee-44 and Ada-1. These items are usually hard to find and from past seasons. Each item (be it armor or weapon) only costs 1,000 Glimmer and 50 Legendary Shards.

This week’s Xur Legendary Inventory consists of the following:

  • Seventh Seraph Carbine, kinetic automatic rifle
  • Last doom, empty pulse rifle
  • Whispering slab, kinetic bow
  • Timeline Vertex, Solar Fusion Rifle
  • Main Ingredient, Bow Fusion Rifle
  • Outrageous Fortune, solar grenade launcher
  • Crowd Pleaser, vacuum grenade launcher
  • Future War Cult armor set

Xur’s items drop to a power level similar to your character’s.

Ruthless

There was a time when Ruthless fusion rifle was one of the best exotics in Destiny 2. Your exotic benefit, Maintain momentum, makes it charge its fusion blasts faster for each non-lethal hit you hit. This still makes killing bosses very quick, but it has since been outmatched by quite a few other weapons.

That being said, Merciless can still be a lot of fun to use on all kinds of content, especially old-school stuff. It is no less powerful than in year 1; in fact, it is more, since it is now in your energy slot, but there are many better weapons to choose from. Still, if you have any interest in Nightfalls or the Leviathan raid, Merciless is still a must.

Shinobu’s vote

Shinobu’s vote new gauntlets are added in Curse of Osiris. Your exotic benefit, New tricks, upgrade your Skip Grenade and grant you an additional Skip Grenade charge. The value of this exotic comes down to personal preference. Anything that gives you an extra load of grenade is great. If you like to play Arcstrider and would rather use an exotic grenade booster instead of the Raiden Flux chest piece, go for these gauntlets. If that doesn’t apply to you, skip it.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 65 stats in total.

God worm Caress

God worm Caress is actually an exotic campaign from Warmind, so almost everyone who was playing at the time probably already has it. Its exotic benefit is Burning fists, causing melee kills to increase melee damage over a period of time. You can extend the duration of this effect with more melee kills.

These gauntlets are great if you like to play up close. If you don’t have them yet, buy Xur’s Wormgod Caress this week.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 66 stats in total.

Veil of apotheosis

Veil of apotheosis It is an exotic that returns to Destiny 2, re-added in the Warmind expansion. Activating your Super will instantly recharge your Health, Grenade, Rift, and Melee Energy. Nearby allies also regenerate some of their class ability energy. This helmet is fine at best. There are so many good warlock exotics out there that we’re honestly not sure when this helmet would be your best option.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 64 stats in total.

Starting at Beyond the light, Xur has a new search for an exotic cipher. Exotic Cipher allows you to purchase Old Exotics from the Monuments to Lost Light kiosk in the tower. You will need these items and some other coins to collect exotics like Heir Apparent and Truth.

This week, Xur wants you to complete 21 Strikes or win Crucible or Gambit matches. Upon completion of the mission, you will get an Exotic Cipher to use however you like.
