Xur has made his return to Destiny 2 once more, showcasing an array of fresh exotic armor pieces for players to peruse for a limited time. This week, amidst the ongoing Into The Light event for Destiny 2, the Hammerhead Machine Gun from the Black Armory has resurfaced, alongside a new iteration of the Forebearance grenade launcher, previously exclusive to the Vow of the Disciple raid. These weapons are now widely accessible through Onslaught gameplay, featuring updated perks.
As anticipation builds for The Final Shape expansion, Bungie has unveiled a new trailer narrated by Nathan Fillion, reprising his role as Cayde-6 in the Destiny 2 universe. The trailer offers players a captivating glimpse of The Pale Heart, a fresh locale within The Traveler that continually transforms by adopting distorted renditions of past experiences. Familiar sights await veteran players in this location, amalgamating nearly a decade's worth of content.
The weekend heralds the arrival of Xur, the enigmatic merchant, bearing a selection of exotics and legendary gear for Destiny 2 enthusiasts over the next few days. Consult this guide for Xur's current whereabouts, updates on his exotic cipher quest, and an assessment of all the exotic armor pieces he has on offer for the weekend of April 26, 2024.
Xur's Exotic Armor Selection
Xur has stationed himself in the Tower Hangar for this weekend's visit.
To locate Xur, swiftly travel to the primary Tower location and upon arrival, proceed left towards the Hangar area where Saint-14 is stationed. Descend the main staircase into the hangar, then veer left towards the rear where the snow-capped mountains loom. Xur can be found on the catwalks in this vicinity.
Explore Xur's Exotic Armor Pieces
Xur's repertoire continues to encompass his customary weekly quests, exotic offerings, and legendary gear. These quests not only enable the acquisition of a second fated engram but are pivotal for obtaining legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. By completing strikes and emerging victorious in crucible or gambit matches, players can earn a new cipher. Additional points are awarded for engaging in activities with clan members or tackling more arduous challenges.
Ophidian Aspect - Warlock Gauntlets
Exotic Perk: Cobra Totemic - Greatly enhances weapon readiness and reload speed. Provides a minor boost to the in-air efficiency of all weapons.
- Mobility: +15
- Resilience: +6
- Recovery: +11
- Discipline: +17
- Intellect: +10
- Strength: +6
These gauntlets offer improved reload and readiness speeds, along with enhanced combat capabilities in airborne scenarios. While a reliable choice for PvP activities, this week's roll may not be as enticing.
Knucklehead Radar - Hunter Helmet

- Intellect: +6
- Strength: +16
The Knucklehead Radar, a staple in PvP engagements, retains its utility, although this week's roll may fall slightly short compared to previous offerings from Xur.

Exotic Perk: Resolute - Achieving Arc final blows grants a progressive damage boost with Arc weapons. Activating Fists of Havoc provides an overshield, while concluding the Fists of Havoc Super bestows the highest-tier damage enhancement to Arc weapons.

- Recovery: +14
- Discipline: +2
