Oh, the elusive tentacle-faced merchant is back! As Destiny 2's Episode Heresy: Act 3 unfolds like a dramatic space opera, our favorite exotic salesman Xur has parked himself permanently in the Tower's Bazaar. No more planetary hide-and-seek! Guardians can now reliably find him lurking near the Ramen Shop every weekend, ready to peddle his cosmic wares. This week's haul includes some genuinely interesting gear and some... well, let's just say they're conversation starters. With Year 7's vendor overhaul in full swing, Xur's got more than just exotics - catalysts, skimmer boards, and even philosophical choices await! 🛸

Finding the Nine's emissary is now blissfully simple: head left after spawning at the Tower Courtyard transit point (or right from the Bazaar point), stroll past Hawthorne's bird-feeding station, and peek into the alley to the right of the Ramen sign. There he stands, cloaked in mystery and possibly smelling faintly of cosmic brine.

His usual offerings remain intact:

• The weekly Exotic Cipher quest (complete strikes/Gambit/Crucible matches)

• Fated Engrams for collection completionists

• Legacy gear access via the Monument kiosk

But Year 7's spicy upgrades bring fresh flavor:

🔥 Rank progression system with rewards

🔥 Exotic weapon focusing (goodbye RNG nightmares)

🔥 Bonus inventory: Tractor Cannon catalyst, Fourth Horseman catalyst, and the slick Xurfboard skimmer

Now let's dive into this week's exotic armor roll call:

Voidwalker's Voltage Gloves

These Warlock gauntlets (Contraverse Hold) offer a solid PvE option for chaos-happy Voidwalkers. The stats? Not too shabby:

Stat	Value
Resilience	+16
Discipline	+18
Recovery	+12
Total	66

Exotic Perk: Chaos Accelerant grants extended grenade duration and damage resistance during charging. Not essential, but handy when you're feeling explodey.

Hunter's Sidearm Sleeves

Mechaneer's Tricksleeves remain painfully specific - they basically yell "USE SIDEARMS OR GTFO." With an eye-watering +26 Intellect and dismal Strength/Discipline spread, they're perfect for... well, almost nobody. Exotic Perk: Ready whenever your health drops low? More like "dust collectors."

Titan's Bullet Hose Rig

Actium War Rig: the Titan chestpiece that turns Sweet Business into a perpetual motion machine. Stats lean HARD into resilience (+30!), making it ideal for bullet-hose enthusiasts. Exotic Perk: Steadily reloads Auto Rifles and Machine Guns from reserves. Not flashy, but brutally functional.

Exotic Weapon Carousel

Xur's packing four exotic firearms this week:

Paracausal Pigeon (Hawkmoon)

Roll includes:

• Hammer-Forged Rifling

• Alloy Magazine

• Quickdraw

• Smooth Grip

Paracausal Shot perk turns the final round into a mini-nuke. Still crispy in Crucible!

Teammate Funeral Bell (Vigilance Wing)

Perks: Corkscrew Rifling, Alloy Magazine, Composite Stock. Its signature perk? Gain healing and speed boosts when allies die. Morbidly practical!

Solar Shredder (Lord of Wolves)

This shotgun spews fiery death with perks including Extended Mag and Composite Stock. Release the Wolves turns it into a room-clearing flamethrower. Great for close-quarters mayhem!

Arc Party Popper (The Prospector)

Full Auto Trigger System + Excavation perk = grenades that spawn cluster bombs and Arc explosions. Essentially a portable fireworks display!

Legendary Loot Dump

For 50 Legendary Shards + 1k Glimmer each:

Weapons

• 🎯 Extraordinary Rendition (SMG)

• ♠️ Spare Rations (Hand Cannon)

• 🏹 Wolftone Draw (Combat Bow)

• ⚡ Hollow Words (Fusion Rifle)

• 💣 Blast Battue (GL)

• ⚔️ Class Swords (Crown-Splitter/Quickfang/Eternity's Edge)

Armor

• Full Kethkiller's Armor Set

Xur FAQ: Burning Questions Answered

❓ Can I still get Hawkmoon's catalyst?

Yep! Requires playlist activities completion. Prepare to grind strikes like it's 2017.

❓ Is the Xurfboard worth Strange Coins?

Absolutely - it's the only skimmer with floating tentacle effects. Fashion endgame matters!

❓ Why does Xur sell Stoicism/Solipsism philosophy?

The Nine remain mysterious edge-lords. Choose Stoicism for Titan vibes, Solipsism for Warlock braininess.

❓ Are Mechaneer's Tricksleeves ever useful?

If you main Rat King in patrols? Maybe. Otherwise, they're exotic shard fodder.

❓ How long until Actium War Rig becomes meta again?

Bungie's next Auto Rifle buff: approximately 3 weeks. Titans know this in their ammo belts.
