Unleash the Undiscovered Secrets: Destiny 2 Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Top Recommendations to Dominate October 6!

Highlights

Xur has returned to the Tower Hangar with new exotic and legendary gear in Destiny 2 for a limited time.

Titans have the option to wield the Actium War Rig, Hunters can choose The Sixth Coyote, and Warlocks possess the Contraverse Hold.

This week's featured exotic weapon is the SUROS Regime, accompanied by a generous assortment of Legendary weapons and armor.

Xur has returned to Destiny 2, offering new exotic and legendary gear for a limited time. In exciting news, Bungie announced that exotic gear relating to Rahool will now require fewer resources, making it more accessible to players. Previously, the high cost of Ascendant Shards posed a challenge for those who couldn't dedicate extensive time to the game.

In other updates, the Season of the Witch storyline concluded this week. While many players enjoyed the journey, the ending left something to be desired. Bungie overlooked an important story moment by including it only in the lore tab of the Rites of Passage, likely causing it to go unnoticed by many players. This isn't the first time significant events in Destiny have occurred off-screen, disappointing some fans who would have preferred a cutscene.

Where is Xur?

Over the next few days, Destiny 2 players should head to the Tower Hangar.

Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Xur remains a reliable source for weekly quests, exotic items, and legendary gear. These quests are not only essential for obtaining a second fated engram but also necessary for acquiring legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cipher by completing strikes or emerging victorious in crucible or gambit matches. Additional points can be gained by playing with clan members or taking on more challenging activities.

Furthermore, Xur expands his offerings beyond his traditional content. Alongside his regular exotic gear, Xur now offers Legendary Weapons and Armor in exchange for Legendary Shards and Glimmer.

Exotic Armor

Contraverse Hold - Warlock gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

Chaotic Exchanger enhances your defense against incoming damage while you charge a Void grenade. When these charged Void grenades hit their targets, they replenish grenade energy. This particular exotic gear is tailored specifically for Voidwalker Warlocks who enjoy charging their grenades. Additionally, it boasts a remarkably high roll and a well-balanced distribution, making it a worthy consideration for anyone seeking a powerful option.

Stat Values (67 Total):

Mobility +2

Resilience +22

Recovery +12

Discipline +17

Intellect +12

Strength +2

The Sixth Coyote - Hunter chest armor

Exotic Perk:

Double Dodge: Acquire an additional dodge charge.

Although not particularly showy or extravagant, The Sixth Coyote is a reliable and practical utility item that grants players an extra dodge. This can be utilized either as a means of evading challenging circumstances or to assist in reloading weapons, depending on the type of dodge equipped. Despite its straightforward nature, it is still worth acquiring at an overall rating of 68. Furthermore, the statistics are evenly distributed and well-balanced, with no excessively high or extremely low attributes.

Stat Values (68 Total):

Mobility +14

Resilience +9

Recovery +13

Discipline +10

Intellect +7

Strength +15

Actium War Rig - Titan chest armor

Exotic Perk:

Auto-Loading Link - Continuously replenishes a portion of ammunition from reserves into the magazine of your equipped Auto Rifle or Machine Gun. Enhances the airborne effectiveness of Auto Rifles and Machine Guns to a moderate extent.

An additional exotic gear that proves to be valuable without causing significant changes to the current meta is the Actium War Rig. It complements numerous high-tier Auto Rifles and Machine Guns exceptionally well. Moreover, the roll on this gear is remarkably impressive, making it a worthwhile purchase solely based on that aspect. It is worth mentioning that this item synergizes exceptionally well with the exotic weapon available this weekend.

Stat Values (71 total):

Mobility +3

Resilience +11

Recovery +23

Discipline +2

Intellect +12

Strength +20

Exotic Weapon

The SUROS Regime auto rifle, known for its unique firing mechanism, is making a comeback with Xur this weekend. This powerful weapon boasts the SUROS Legacy perk, which not only grants bonus damage equivalent to half of the current ammo magazine, but also has a chance to regenerate the player's health after a kill. Moreover, the rifle offers a second perk that allows players to select their preferred weapon type. With Spinning Up, the rate of fire increases when the trigger is continuously held down. On the other hand, Dual Speed Receiver slows down the rate of fire but enhances the damage when the player aims down the sights.

Overall, it's worth a pickup this weekend as it's a reliable and solid weapon. Titan players should definitely grab this along with their exotic armor from Xur for best results.

Weapon perks:

Hammer-forged Rifling

Tactical Mag

Hand-Laid Stock

Hawkmoon Rolls

At present, Xur is exclusively offering Hawkmoon with randomized rolls. However, its availability will be temporary once Harbinger is ultimately incorporated into the Exotic Mission Rotator, enabling craftability of this hand cannon. Regardless, here is the roll that Xur has for this weekend:
