Destiny 2 Xur

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 23, 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 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Xur’s role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary toacquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cipher by completing strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches. Gain bonus points for playing with clan mates or finishing more challenging activities.

Wings of Sacred Dawn - Warlock chest armor

Exotic Perks:

Certainly has its uses for Solar Warlocks, but there are much better options available. Being suspended in the air for all to see isn’t always the best strategy and, besides all of that, the stat roll isn’t great with high mobility.

Knucklehead Radar - Hunter helmet

Exotic Perk:

An ideal PvP exotic. Worth grabbing for those who don’t already have it, though keep in mind it doesn’t offer much value in PvE activities.

Peregrine Greaves - Titan leg armor

A great choice for players who want to hit things continuously. The roll this week is pretty favorable as well, with Strength being the highest stat.
