Xur is back in Destiny 2 for the Season of Arrivals, and it seems the presence of the Pyramid ships has somehow improved his inventory. This week, Xur’s Exotic offerings feature random rolls with higher stats than ever before–where his gear’s stats used to total in the high 40s or low 50s, they’re now averaging 60. Here’s what Xur has to offer and where you can find him.
Head to Nessus to find Xur this week, hanging out in Watcher’s Grave. For his weapon, Xur is offering Black Talon. Hunters can pick up the Raiden Flux chest armor; for Titans, there’s the Synthoceps gauntlets; and for Warlocks, Xur has the Prometheum Spur leg armor.
Xur Location
Start by spawning in at Watcher’s Grave and hop on your sparrow. Head northwest toward the center of the area, where you’ll spot Calus’s golden barge. Climb aboard and look for Xur hanging out on the deck.
Xur Exotic Items
This week, Xur has Black Talon, a sword that’s a lot like a gun. He’s also got Promethium Spur, a relatively fresh piece of Exotic armor that was added with the Season of Dawn. All his options are worth considering, since they now come with stats that are comparable to random Exotic drops you’ll find in the world. If you’re not a fan of his other options, Xur also sells an Exotic engram that will decrypt into an Exotic you don’t already own. He also has the Five of Swords challenge card, which lets you enable modifiers for Nightfall Strikes.

Black Talon
If you ever wish you could wield a sword but still kill enemies from far away, Black Talon is for you. The powerful sword can fire a projectile with its Heavy attack that tracks enemies and partially bypasses their shields–which makes it a one-hit kill in the Crucible if you can land it. Handy if you wish you could slice and shoot at the same time.
Raiden Flux (Hunter)
An old standby for Hunters, Raiden Flux powers up your Arc Staff Super. The more quick attacks you land with the Super, the more powerful it becomes and the longer it lasts. Raiden Flux and Arc Staff are great for cleaning up lots of enemies very quickly in high-level activities.
Stats:
- Mobility: 9
- Resilience: 13
- Recovery: 12
- Discipline: 7
- Intellect: 6
- Strength: 15
- Total: 62
Synthoceps (Titan)
Titans often find themselves needing to punch their way out of a bad situation, and that’s what Synthoceps are for. The gauntlets increase your melee lunge, which is great for landing those killer shoulder charges on unsuspecting players in the Crucible. You also get benefits when you’re surrounded by enemies, with Synthoceps increasing your melee and Super damage when things look dire.
Stats:
- Mobility: 2
- Resilience: 11
- Recovery: 20
- Discipline: 14
- Intellect: 13
- Strength: 2
- Total: 62
Promethium Spurs (Warlock)
A new Exotic launched with the Season of Dawn, Promethium Spurs give you added bonuses for your Daybreak Super that can help support your teammates. Whenever you kill a combatant or Guardian with the Super, a Healing or Empowering Rift is created, giving your teammates some serious boosts while you go on a rampage.
Stats:
- Mobility: 9
- Resilience: 10
- Recovery: 12
- Discipline: 9
