Xur’s Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Suggestions for February 28

Xur has made his return to Destiny 2, bringing along a fresh selection of exotic and legendary gear for a limited period. It’s a chance for players to take a breather as Episode Heresy undergoes its downtime between acts, offering another opportunity to collect weapons from the new Sundered Doctrine dungeon.

Earlier this week, Bungie rolled out an update addressing a number of bugs affecting gameplay. The Trials of Osiris and Sundered Doctrine were the primary focus, but adjustments were also made to certain exotic gear such as the Speaker’s Sight, Blight Ranger, and several others.

For those eager to check out what Xur has brought this weekend, he can be found in his new permanent spot at The Tower’s Bazaar. Instead of playing hide and seek with him every weekend, simply head over to where Ikora and Hawthorne usually hang out. Facing the Ramen Shop, you’ll discover Xur in the alley to the right.

Xur isn’t just offering exotic items; players can also engage in his usual weekly quests. These quests are crucial for those looking to snag a second fated engram or acquire legacy exotic items at the Tower kiosk. Completing strikes and prevailing in crucible or gambit matches will earn players a new exotic cipher, with bonuses for tackling harder challenges or teaming up with clan mates.

Among the exotic armor this weekend is the Apotheosis Veil for Warlocks, which, despite an intriguing perk that regenerates health, melee, grenade, and Rift energy during a Super, doesn’t quite justify a purchase due to its high mobility stat. Hunters can check out the Aeon Swift gauntlets, which, while improved compared to earlier versions, are still a niche choice. Titans might be interested in the Actium War Rig, designed to steadily reload a portion of your Auto Rifle or Machine Gun magazine from reserves, although it too suffers from an unbalanced stat distribution.

Beyond armor, Xur also has a selection of exotic weapons including the Hawkmoon hand cannon, The Huckleberry SMG, the Lord of Wolves shotgun, and the explosive Wardcliff Coil rocket launcher. Each of these weapons adds a unique flair and potential edge in both PvE and PvP engagements.

For those hoping to dive deeper into their inventory, Xur’s offerings extend beyond simple weapons and armor. This week, he’s offering catalysts for the Prospector and Graviton Lance, along with exclusive items like The Xurfboard Skimmer Board Vehicle, and various other in-game essentials like enhancement prisms and exotic engrams. Also available is a rotating Strange Gift for just a single Strange Coin.

Year 7 brings a significant update to Xur’s inventory, introducing a rank progression system and focusing options for a more personalized experience. Adding to the list of legendary items this weekend are weapons like Farewell, Nightshade, and Seventh Seraph VY-7, with armor options from the Kairos Function Set. Each piece brings unique characteristics that could augment any guardian’s arsenal.

Destiny 2 continues to offer a vast universe for players to explore and engage in. Its blend of intense first-person action and strategic play has ensured its position as a staple in the gaming community, offering endless opportunities for experienced guardians to test their skills. Whether tackling the latest challenges or venturing into PvP arenas, there’s always something new on the horizon. Download, jump in, and carve your legend among the stars.
