The eldritch horror, Xur, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week’s reset. If you’re looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.
Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he’s got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.
We’ve rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.
Where Is Xûr Today?
Xûr’s location can be found at The Tower on July 29 through August 2. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. You’ll find ol’ snake-face chilling near the stairs at the back of the Hangar area.
What’s Xûr Selling Today?
Xûr has at least one good find this week. Check out this exotic gear!
Exotic Engram

Karnstein Armlets – Exotic Warlock Gauntlets

Honestly, exotic armor strikes out this week with low stat rolls and not great stat distribution. Pick up the ST0MP-EE5 if you need them, or perhaps the grenade launcher on sale, but there’s nothing you really need to have this week.
Exotic Weapons
Hawkmoon – Exotic Hand Cannon

Dead Man’s Tale – Exotic Scout Rifle
Cranial SpikeExtended BarrelHigh-Caliber RoundsVorpal WeaponHand-Laid Stock
The roll for Dead Man’s Tale this week is quite good! Vorpal weapon and High-Caliber Rounds make a great pair of perks for a weapon that’s deadly in both PvE and PvP. I’d recommend picking this one up!
Legendary Weapons

This week’s notable rolls include the Empty Vessel grenade launcher which comes with blinding grenades and the swashbuckler perk that could make it quite good, the Fraction Fire machinegun that has field prep and rampage that should make it deadly, and the Bad Omens rocket launcher which has got tracking module and cluster bombs that are always good for PvP and especially PvE.
Warlock Legendary Armor
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Lightkin set which includes:
Lightkin Gauntlets
24 Mobility2 Resilience2 Recovery20 Discipline2 Intellect10 StrengthTotal: 60
Lightkin Chest Armor
12 Mobility2 Resilience17 Recovery10 Discipline2 Intellect14 StrengthTotal: 57
Lightkin Helmet
2 Mobility11 Resilience17 Recovery2 Discipline16 Intellect15 StrengthTotal: 63
Lightkin Leg Armor
2 Mobility9 Resilience16 Recovery17 Discipline9 Intellect2 StrengthTotal: 55
Lightkin Bond
The Warlock armor this week is pretty rubbish! The gauntlets are very spikey in places, but even that is hardly worth buying.
Titan Legendary Armor
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Lightkin set which includes:
Lightkin Gauntlets
7 Mobility19 Resilience6 Recovery11 Discipline14 Intellect2 StrengthTotal: 59
Lightkin Chest Armor
2 Mobility2 Resilience30 Recovery24 Discipline2 Intellect2 StrengthTotal: 62
Lightkin Helmet
10 Mobility2 Resilience16 Recovery14 Discipline2 Intellect14 StrengthTotal: 58
Lightkin Leg Armor
9 Mobility2 Resilience17 Recovery13 Discipline14 Intellect2 StrengthTotal: 57
Lightkin Mark
Again, Titan armor is also underwhelming. The chest piece is extremely lopsided that could be good for buildcrafting, but with only 62 stats overall I doubt it’s worth the trouble.
Hunter Legendary Armor
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Lightkin set which includes:
Lightkin Gauntlets
7 Mobility10 Resilience15 Recovery14 Discipline6 Intellect7 StrengthTotal: 59
Lightkin Chest Armor
16 Mobility2 Resilience12 Recovery20 Discipline8 Intellect2 StrengthTotal: 60

Lightkin Leg Armor
8 Mobility16 Resilience8 Recovery11 Discipline2 Intellect13 StrengthTotal: 58
Lightkin Cloak
Somehow Hunters have managed to do even worse than the other classes with zero interesting rolls — seems legendary armor is a wash this week!
That’s a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! What are you thoughts on Bungie’s recent comments on implementing skill-based matchmaking in PvP? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
