Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapons, And Recommendations For September 13, 2024

Destiny 2 fans, it’s that time of the week again—Xur has arrived with a fresh inventory of exotic gear and legendary weapons! Whether you’re looking to bolster your arsenal or complete your collection, Xur’s got you covered. This guide will help you navigate his latest offerings, including weapons, armor, and recommendations to make the most out of what Xur has brought this weekend.

Xur’s Location This Weekend

For September 13, 2024, Xur has taken up a permanent spot in the Tower’s Bazaar area, making it much easier to find him each week. Players no longer need to wander around; simply head to the Bazaar area between the fast travel points and look for Xur near the Ramen Shop. He’s standing in the alley on the right-hand side, close to where Ikora and Hawthorne usually hang out.

Xur’s Exotic Armor Inventory

Xur’s inventory this week includes three exotic armor pieces catering to the Hunter, Warlock, and Titan classes. Here’s what he’s brought along:

1. Stormdancer’s Brace (Warlock Chest Armor)

Exotic Perk: Ascending Amplitude – This perk boosts Stormtrance’s damage with each target defeated, and refunds Super energy when Stormtrance ends.
Recommendation: Although it’s a solid PvE item, this week’s roll has relatively low stats, making it less appealing for hardcore Warlock mains. With 61 total stats, this piece is useful but may not be a must-have unless you’re looking to fill in a gap in your collection.

2. Wormhusk Crown (Hunter Helmet)

Exotic Perk: Burning Souls – Dodging grants a small health and shield bump, helping players survive in tough situations.
Recommendation: This helmet remains a popular choice for Hunters who favor survivability. However, the roll is a bit underwhelming with 63 total stats. If you already own a better version, you might want to skip this one, but it’s worth considering if you’ve never had it before.

3. Mk. 44 Stand Asides (Titan Leg Armor)

Exotic Perk: Seriously, Watch Out – Grants an overshield when sprinting at full health with certain melee abilities equipped, recharging a portion of your melee energy on hit.
Recommendation: The highest total roll this week goes to Titans with 66 total stats. However, the stat distribution isn’t ideal, heavily favoring mobility, which is less valuable for Titans. It’s a decent pick but not the best in its class.

Xur’s Exotic Weapons

This week, Xur has brought a selection of exotic weapons that cater to various playstyles. Here’s a breakdown of the exotic weapons available:

1. Hawkmoon (Hand Cannon)

Perks: Paracausal Shot, Extended Barrel, Alloy Magazine, Moving Target, Smooth Grip
Recommendation: Hawkmoon’s unique ability to build up damage with precision hits makes it a favorite among hand cannon enthusiasts. This week’s roll focuses on accuracy, making it great for those who enjoy landing precision shots.

2. Sweet Business (Auto Rifle)

Perks: Payday, Business Time, Polygonal Rifling, Armor-Piercing Rounds, Composite Stock
Recommendation: Known for its large magazine and high rate of fire, Sweet Business is a fantastic crowd-control weapon. It shines in both PvE and PvP, especially when firing from the hip. If you enjoy mowing down enemies with an auto rifle, this is a must-pick.

3. Sunshot (Hand Cannon)

Perks: Sunburn, Sun Blast, Chambered Compensator, Accurized Rounds, Textured Grip
Recommendation: Sunshot’s explosive rounds make it perfect for dealing with groups of enemies. With each kill triggering a Solar explosion, it’s particularly effective in PvE settings. This week’s version doesn’t disappoint and is a great addition for players looking to add some explosive power to their arsenal.

4. Two-Tailed Fox (Rocket Launcher)

Perks: Twintails, Play with Your Prey, Confined Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, Composite Stock
Recommendation: This rocket launcher fires two rockets—one Void and one Solar—that track the same target. Its unique dual-element attack makes it a fun and versatile weapon for both PvE and PvP, suppressing enemies with Void and burning them with Solar.

Xur’s Legendary Armor and Weapons

Aside from exotics, Xur is also offering a set of legendary gear. Players can grab the following items for 50 Legendary Shards and 1000 Glimmer:

Friction Fire (Kinetic Submachine Gun)
The Deicide (Energy Shotgun)
Death Adder (Energy Submachine Gun)
Stochastic Variable (Energy Submachine Gun)
Hoosegow (Heavy Rocket Launcher)
Blast Battue (Heavy Rocket Launcher)
Crown-Splitter, Quickfang, Eternity’s Edge (Heavy Swords)
Simulator Armor Set

These legendary items provide great options for those looking to try new builds without breaking the bank. They are affordable alternatives for players who want to diversify their loadouts.

Special Items and Ciphers

Xur also has a range of additional items, including catalysts for Wardcliff Coil and Bad Juju, Exotic Ciphers, Enhancement Prisms, and more. This week’s inventory upgrade comes with a true rank progression system and more reward options, making Xur’s visits more worthwhile than ever.

Players can also earn an Exotic Cipher through Xur’s weekly quests, allowing them to purchase legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. This is especially valuable for those trying to round out their collections with older exotics.

Summary and Recommendations

This week, Xur’s inventory caters to a mix of playstyles, with options for both PvE and PvP. Warlocks and Hunters might find this week’s armor offerings a bit underwhelming, but Titans have a slightly better roll to consider. The exotic weapons, especially Hawkmoon and Sunshot, are strong picks this week, offering unique perks that cater to precision and explosive gameplay.

Don’t miss out on checking Xur’s wares this weekend, especially if you’re looking to complete your collection or find a new favorite weapon. As Destiny 2 continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary with in-game events and new challenges, there’s no better time to gear up and prepare for the battles ahead.

Happy hunting, Guardians, and may your drops be ever in your favor!
