Summary
Xur has returned again toDestiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. Destiny 2 has had its fair share of criticisms and controversies over the years and, unfortunately, Bungie found itself in another one this week at reset. Fans were upset when they discovered more timegating had been applied to the Rites of the Nine activity, essentially locking each dungeon into a three-week cycle. Thankfully, Bungie moved very quickly and announcedmajor changes toDestiny 2’s Rite of the Nine activity, making the schedule friendlier and the event more rewarding overall.
As theHeavy Metal event forDestiny 2finally comes to a close, Trials of Osiris also makes its return after a couple of weeks off. To reward player patience, Bungie also announced that players will be earning double rep this weekend. Unfortunately for Osiris fans, Iron Banner returns at reset next week, so get those matches in now as the weekend playlist will be put back on the shelf for another week.
With the weekend finally here, the exotic merchant Xur has returned with a new inventory of gear forDestiny 2players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he’s brought for the weekend of June 17, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there’s no more hunting when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are hanging out and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley hiding Xur is to the right.
Destiny 2 Exotic Class Armor
Xur’s role has continued to expand and evolve over the years. Alongside The Final Shape expansion,Xur’s inventory inDestiny 2expanded even more, moving back to Strange Coins as the currency of choice, rank rewards, resources, and of course, armor and weapons.
Aeon Soul - Warlock gauntlets
Exotic Perks:
Unfortunately, the Aeon SOul has returned after being available just two weeks ago. Not much has changed at all, so it still isn’t a must buy.
Knucklehead Radar - Hunter helmet
Exotic Perk:
It’s back for a second week in a row, this time with a slightly better overall stat line.
One-Eyed Mask - Titan helmet
A former beast in the Crucible, the One-Eyed Mask has seen its fair share of nerfs over the years to bring it back in line. It’s still solid for PvP, but there are much better options these days.
Stat Values (67 total):
