It’s a quiet weekend in Destiny 2, but with arms dealer Xur having opened up his shop in the Tower, it’s time to do some shopping. Next week will see the arrival of Act 2 of Episode: Echoes, and you’re going to want to be prepared to deal with increasingly dangerous Vex armies. Here’s where Xur is this weekend, and what he has for sale.
Xur is offering the Exotic weapon catalysts for Skyburner’s Oath and The Wardcliff Coil. For Exotic armor, Hunters can pick up Assassin’s Cowl; Titans can grab MK. 44 Stand Asides; and Warlocks can buy Sunbracers.
Xur Location
Xur’s new location in the Tower.
Spawn in at the Tower and hang a right past Banshee-44. Continue down the stairs, follow the corridor, and once you hit the Bazaar, turn right down the nearby alleyway. You’ll find Xur here in his dedicated alcove, ready to sell you his latest wares if you have enough Strange Coins in your pocket. Check out our how to get Strange Coins guide for details on earning this currency, which involves doing ritual activities to earn them.

Exotic Armor
Assassin’s Cowl (Exotic Hunter helmet)
Assassin’s Cowl
Assassin’s Cowl has been a favorite with Hunters who like to run around delivering knockout blows and quick shotgun blasts. Powered melee final blows grant invisibility and restore a portion of your health and shields, while final blows against more powerful enemies extend the duration of the Vanishing Execution perk. Recovery and discipline on this Exotic are good, but resilience and strength are very low, so feel free to give it a skip this week unless you don’t already have it.

MK. 44 Stand Asides (Exotic Titan leg armor)
MK. 44 Stand Asides
Strangely, MK. 44 Stand Asides are being offered for the second week in a row. This roll is better than last week’s one, as it has more balanced spread of stats, so it’s worth picking up this week. Mk. 44 Stand Asides grant an overshield when a Titan sprints at full health while they have Seismic Strike, Hammer Strike, or Shield Bash equipped, and landing a charged hit refunds a portion of melee energy.
Mobility: 7Resilience: 11Recovery: 16Discipline: 10Intellect: 12Strength: 10Total: 66
Sunbracers (Exotic Warlock gauntlets)
Sunbracers
Sunbracers may no longer be as broken as they once were, but with the right build, you can still turn the battlefield into a celebration of explosives. The Helium Spirals perk increases the duration of Solar grenades, and Solar melee kills grant unlimited grenade energy for a brief time. Generally, this allows you to toos out four grenades in quick succession. Resilience on this Exotic is very good, and while recovery could be better, discipline, intellect, and strength aren’t too bad either.

Exotic Weapon Catalysts
Skyburner’s Oath (Exotic scout rifle)
This weapon is full-auto, does extra damage to Cabal, and penetrates Phalanx shields. Xur is also selling Skyburner’s Oath as part of his weekly Strange Gear Offers, in case you don’t already have the Exotic.
The Wardcliff Coil (Exotic rocket launcher)
Improved tracking on projectiles.

Xur has changed how he conducts business in The Final Shape. For his rotating selection of Exotic weapon catalysts, he’ll sell two each week. His selection will contain older catalysts that are found through random drops prior to The Witch Queen expansion, and he will not have catalysts associated with quests, Exotic missions, Season Pass Exotics, campaign Exotics, preorder Exotics, raid Exotics, or dungeon Exotics.
Xur will also have three random Exotic weapons available for sale, in addition to Hawkmoon. Xur will still sell Legendary armor and weapons, as well as engrams that can yield any item in those pools at random. Like other vendors, Xur also has his own reputation track now and the more you spend, the more reputation rewards you’ll earn, including an Exotic Cipher after every rank reset.
Additionally, Xur’s loyalty program kicks in after you spend 47 Strange Coins, granting you a Strange Favor buff. This lasts for 11 days and can be stacked up to three times–once per week–giving you a chance to earn a bonus Strange Coin from activities that reward you with the currency. Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET each Friday.
