Destiny 2 Teases a New Exotic Shotgun Mission
Bungie teases an upcoming Exotic mission for Act 3 of Episode Revenant that will lead to a new rifle with a very unique firing and reloading style.
For now, though, weekend merchant Xur is back with a new inventory of exotic items and legendary gear Destiny 2 players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic codex quest, and a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he's brought for the weekend of November 15, 2024.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area within the Tower, so there is no more hunting when the weekend arrives.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can choose one to load it into. Head to the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. In front of the shop, the alley is on the right, where Xur is located.
Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher
Xur's role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotic items, and legendary gear. These quests are not only necessary to purchase a second Fated Engram, but are also necessary to acquire exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new code by completing strikes and winning Crucible or Gambling matches. Earn bonus points by playing with clanmates or completing more challenging tasks.
Xur's exotic armor
Cross Steps: Sorcerer's Leg Armor
Exotic advantage:
- Strange Protractor: Sprint speed increased. After a short sprint, the currently equipped weapon is automatically reloaded.
An extremely high shot that is ultimately plagued by a mobility spike. However, considering that these exotic activities involve sprinting, perhaps having high mobility isn't the worst thing. There are better options out there, but automatically reloading a weapon after sprinting is useful in most cases.
Statistical values (69 total):
- Mobility +21
- Resilience +6
- Recovery +8
- Discipline +6
- Intellect +12
- Strength +16
Aeon Swift: Hunter Gloves
Exotic advantage:
- Aeon's Wrath: Quick and accurate shots with a weapon temporarily increase reload speed and weapon switching speed.
- Song of the Foebreaker: Stunning a champion or landing quick, precise blows on a powerful fighter will mark them. Your allies deal increased damage to marked fighters. When a fighter is marked for the first time, nearby Cult of the Aeon allies who do not have the Strength Cult role equipped gain grenades and melee energy.
He's back after a week off. Nothing has changed in the meantime, even if the overall balance is slightly higher than at the beginning of this month. However, it is not an essential item.
Statistical values (67 total):
- Mobility +3
- Resilience +15
- Cooldown +15
- Discipline +2
- Intellect +12
- Strength +20
Separation Fence: Titan chest armor
Exotic advantage:
- Spheromatik Trigger: Empowered melee finishing blows unleash a damaging explosion. Finishers and finishing blows against more powerful targets increase the radius and damage of the explosion.
Arguably more fun to mess around with, this Exotic doesn't eliminate any of the best options available during Episode: Revenant.
Statistical values (67 total):
- Mobility +10
- Resilience +12
- Cooldown +12
- Discipline +6
- Intellect +17
- Strength +10
