The Last Call: Xur’s Final Exotic Offers Before The Final Shape in Destiny 2

In the ever-evolving universe of Destiny 2, Xur stands as a beloved yet enigmatic figure. Every weekend, this mysterious arms dealer returns, offering Guardians a chance to acquire exotic items that can change the tide of battle. As we approach the final weekend of the Lightfall era, excitement builds as players prepare to spend their well-earned Legendary Shards before they vanish with the upcoming expansion, The Final Shape. This guide explores Xur's offerings this week, including his location, exotic gear, and weaponry available from May 31 to June 4.

The Final Weekend of Lightfall

This week, players have a chance to make their final purchases before significant changes come with The Final Shape. As hinted by former game director Joe Blackburn, Xur is set for a revamp in the near future, promising a more thrilling experience for players hunting for exotics. Guardians are advised to make the most of their time with Xur before the Lightfall era concludes. Here’s what to expect this week - let’s explore where to find him and what he has for sale.

Finding Xur

This week, you can find Xur on the planet Nessus, specifically at a location known as The Watcher's Grave. To reach him, utilize the transmat zone at Watcher’s Grave. Upon arrival, hop on your sparrow and head north toward the edge of the area. Keep an eye out for a large tree adorned with pink moss. Ascend to its flat branch, which serves as the perch where Xur awaits, ready to offer his wares.

What’s Available

Exotic Armor Selections

Xur offers a selection of Exotic Armor designed to enhance your gameplay experience across all classes:

Graviton Forfeit (Exotic Hunter Helmet): Ideal for those who prefer stealth, this Exotic enhances the duration of your invisibility effects. Additionally, it boosts melee recharge speeds, recovery, and weapon reload times. However, its resilience and strength scores leave much to be desired this week, making it less compelling for immediate purchase.

Actium War Rig (Exotic Titan Chest Armor): A perfect accompaniment to the SUROS Regime, this armor gradually reloads a portion of your equipped auto rifle or machine gun, ensuring you can unleash sustained fire. Though its mobility stats are higher than necessary, the enhanced intellect allows for rapid Super pop, making it a wise choice for Titans. However, its lower strength may require armor mods to optimize performance.

Karnstein Armlets (Exotic Warlock Gauntlets): These vampiric gauntlets allow for instant healing and restoration upon landing melee or finisher final blows. With a high recovery stat, they shine in situations demanding survival, though their resilience and strength are noticeably low, which may limit their effectiveness.

Exotic Weapons Offered

Weapons are a crucial aspect of any Guardian’s arsenal, and Xur has some intriguing options this week:

SUROS Regime (Exotic Auto Rifle): A timeless classic, this kinetic weapon is packed with unique perks. Its "Spinning Up" feature increases the rate of fire the longer the trigger is held down, while "Dual Speed Receiver" can be swapped to allow for increased damage at a slower rate of fire. Moreover, its intrinsic perk, "SUROS Legacy," provides bonus damage along with a chance to restore health on kills once the magazine is half-empty.

Hawkmoon (Exotic Hand Cannon): Despite its previous lackluster offering, Hawkmoon returns with the exact same role, featuring the "Eye of the Storm" ability. This perk boosts weapon accuracy and handling as your health wanes, which is ideal for players who thrive on risk. If you passed on Hawkmoon last week, you might also want to miss it this time.

Beyond the Current Weekend

Xur's presence in Destiny 2 is a recurring event that excites the community. Players can look forward to his weekly arrival, which coincides with the game's daily reset every Friday at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. His location is often shrouded in mystery, as he does not appear on the map; however, he has established spawn points throughout the game. In addition to his current location on Nessus, Xur can often be found in areas such as the Tower Hangar and Winding Cove in the EDZ.

Preparing for The Final Shape

With The Final Shape on the horizon, Destiny 2 players should seize the opportunity to gather any remaining Legendary Shards and spend them wisely. The transition into this new era promises exciting changes, including a reimagined Xur experience. As Guardians prepare for this major shift, knowing what to buy from Xur can make all the difference in their gameplay. Take this final weekend to collect those coveted exotic items, strategize your classes, and embark on your next adventures in the expansive universe of Destiny 2.

Happy hunting, Guardians! Whether you're an experienced gamer or new to the realm of Destiny 2, Xur's items present distinctive chances to elevate your gaming experience. Make the most out of the remaining days of Lightfall and prepare for what’s next in your Guardian journey.
