Xur has made a comeback in Destiny 2, showcasing a range of exotic and legendary equipment for a limited time. This week has been eventful in the world of Destiny 2, with the arrival of the highly anticipated Into The Light event. Players have been engaging in the Horde-style Onslaught mode, progressing with Shaxx at the Hall of Champions, and hunting for top-tier rolls of the BRAVE Arsenal.

Additionally, this week unveiled a detailed developer livestream for Destiny 2: The Final Shape. A significant reveal from the livestream was the introduction of the Prismatic subclass. Unlike the existing Light and Dark subclasses, Prismatic offers high customization, allowing players to mix abilities from Solar, Void, Stasis, Arc, and Strand. Moreover, Prismatic introduces a new meter enabling players to balance light and dark for Transcendence, enhancing ability recharge rates, providing bonus weapon damage, resistance to enemy attacks, and a unique grenade combining two elements based on the class.

As the weekend arrives, so does Xur, the merchant, offering a fresh selection of exotics and legendary gear for Destiny 2 players to explore over the upcoming days. Follow this guide to discover his current location, updates on his exotic cipher quest, and an overview of all the exotic and legendary gear available for the weekend of April 12, 2024.

Unveiling Xur's Whereabouts

This weekend, players should make their way to the Tower Hangar.

To find Xur, fast travel to the Tower and head left towards the Hangar, the same path taken to meet Saint-14. Descend the stairs into the hangar, then proceed left towards the back catwalks overlooking the distant mountains to locate Xur.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Xur's role continues to offer weekly quests, exotic items, and legendary gear. Completing these quests not only allows players to purchase a second fated engram but is also essential for acquiring legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. By participating in strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches, players can earn a new cipher. Additional points are awarded for playing with clan members or engaging in more challenging activities.

Xur's Exotic Armor

Getaway Artist - Warlock gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

• Dynamic Duo - Transform your Arc grenade into an Arc Soul and gain amplification. The Arc Soul acts as an autonomous turret.

A valuable choice for arc subclass users needing support. The Arc Soul not only aids the player for 20 seconds but also provides Amplification, proving beneficial in various situations. The stat distribution is intriguing, with notably high scores for Recovery and Discipline, the latter being advantageous for faster grenade recovery. However, the high stat spikes lead to some very low values, which can be compensated for by players.

Stat Values (66 Total):

• Mobility +2
• Resilience +3
• Recovery +29
• Discipline +23
• Intellect +7
• Strength +2

Lucky Raspberry - Hunter chest armor

Exotic Perk:

• Probability Matrix - Enhances the chaining capabilities of Arcbolt Grenades. Dealing damage with Jolt lightning strikes and gathering Ionic Traces both grant extra Arcbolt Grenade energy. Arcbolt Grenades stun [Disruption] Overload Champions and impede their health regeneration.

This exotic is specific to arcbolt grenades, limiting its versatility. Consequently, it falls short of being a top-tier choice for Hunters this week.

Stat Values (64 Total):

• Mobility +21
• Resilience +11
• Recovery +2
• Discipline +12
• Intellect +9
• Strength +9

One-Eyed Mask - Titan helmet

Exotic Perk:

• Vengeance - Highlights the attacker who damages you. Hunt them down and eliminate them to gain an overshield.

Titans receive the highest stat allocation this week at 67, with a concerningly high Mobility score alongside a 24 in Discipline. While not as dominant as in the past, it remains a solid choice for PvP engagements.

Stat Values (67 total):

• Mobility +18
• Resilience +13
• Recovery +3
• Discipline +24
• Intellect +2
• Strength +7

Xur's Exotic Weapon

Although not leading the current exotic weapon meta, Hard Light is a versatile auto rifle with the unique ability to alter its elemental type by reloading. As a result, it is an adaptable weapon suitable for various encounters due to its elemental flexibility.

Weapon Perks:

• Volatile Light - Shots fired have reduced damage drop-off, penetrate targets, and bounce off hard surfaces. Projectile damage increases after bouncing.
• The Fundamentals - Alters damage type between Solar, Arc, and Void, offering different stat boosts based on the selected type. Solar - Boosts reload speed and aerial efficiency. Arc - Enhances handling and range. Void - Improves stability and aim assistance.
• Polygonal Rifling
• Alloy Magazine
• Composite Stock

Hawkmoon Hand Cannon Perks

Currently, Xur exclusively offers Hawkmoon with randomized perks, but its availability will diminish once Harbinger joins the Exotic Mission Rotator, enabling craftable access to the hand cannon. The current Hawkmoon roll from Xur includes:

Hawkmoon Rolls:

• Smallbore
• Alloy Magazine
• Quickdraw
• Polymer Grip
