Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for May 3

Destiny 2: Xur Exotic Armor, Weapon, and Recommendations for May 3

• Xur brings new exotic gear & legendary weapons in Destiny 2, including the Promethues Lens trace rifle.
• Warlocks can pick up the Getaway Artist gauntlets, Hunters get the Lucky Raspberry chest armor, while Titans can buy the Dunemarchers leg armor.
• Players should head to the Winding Cove area of the EDZ to find Xur this weekend.

Xur has returned again to Destiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. It was a big reset week for Destiny 2 as the final two weapons of the BRAVE Arsenal were released. This week saw the return of the Black Armory pulse rifle known as Blast Furnace, as well as the legendary Crucible hand cannon, Luna’s Howl. The Pantheon also opened its doors, letting players tackle a gauntlet of raid bosses, which will continue to become more challenging over the next few weeks as more bosses and waves are added to the challenge.

This week also saw a new update arrive for Destiny 2, fixing a number of reported issues impacting the community, including various Onslaught-related problems. However, Update 7.3.6.3 for Destiny 2 also patched out plenty of fan favorite exploits and cheese spots. Specifically, The Whisper exotic mission featured a handy out of bounds trick that allowed players to kill the three Taken bosses before activating the final encounter. The mission timer on Legend difficulty has also been fixed, so players will now get kicked to orbit as expected, rather than being able to continue the mission without the clock.

Where is Xur?

This weekend, players will want to head over to the EDZ to find Xur.

Fast travel to the Winding Cove and immediately run to the back of the zone where the Fallen patrol. High up on the cliffs, near a downed ship, is Xur, who is looking over the zone from a ledge.

Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher

Xur’s role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary to acquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk.

Xur’s Exotic Armor

Getaway Artist – Warlock gauntlets

Exotic Perk:

• Dynamic Duo – Convert your Arc grenade into a Arc Soul and become amplified. The Arc Soul functions as an autonomous turret.

The highest roll belongs to Warlocks this week, though like the Titan exotic, Mobility is a bit too high and comes at the expense of Strength and Resilience.

Stat Values (67 Total):

• Mobility +16
• Resilience +3
• Recovery +16
• Discipline +16
• Intellect +14
• Strength +2

Lucky Raspberry – Hunter Chest Armor

Exotic Perk:

• Probability Matrix – Increases the chaining capabilities of Arcbolt Grenades. Damaging enemies with Jolt lightning strikes and collecting Ionic Traces both grant additional Arcbolt Grenade energy. Arcbolt Grenades stun [Disruption] Overload Champions and delay their health regeneration.

Highly specific exotic armor that isn’t going to be for most Hunters. There are much stronger and better choices for exotic Hunter armor, but for those who prefer Arcbolt grenades, there may be some fun to be had here. .

Stat Values (66 Total):

• Mobility +17
• Resilience +8
• Recovery +10
• Discipline +12
• Intellect +2
• Strength +17

Dunemarchers – Titan Leg Armor

Exotic Perk:

• Linear Actuators – Increases sprint speed. Sprinting builds up a static charge. After melee-attacking an enemy, that charge will chain damage to nearby enemies.

Unfortunately, Xur has brought back another high-mobility Titan exotic alongside a roll that isn’t great. It’s an easy pass this week.

Stat Values (65 total):

• Mobility +18
• Resilience +15
• Recovery +2
• Discipline +14
• Intellect +10
• Strength +6

Xur’s Exotic Weapon

Weapon Perks:

• Prismatic Inferno – Fires a Solar trace beam that creates a field of heat energy that grows as the weapon is fired. Sustained damage applies scorch to the target.
• Flame Refraction – Kills with this weapon return a fraction of the ammo used to the magazine from reserves, extending the beam’s duration.
• Chambered Compensator
• Projection Fuse
• Composite Stock

Hawkmoon Hand Cannon Perks

At this point, Xur is only selling Hawkmoon with randomized rolls, but its time is limited once Harbinger is ultimately added to the Exotic Mission Rotator and makes the hand cannon craftable. Either way, here is the roll Xur has this weekend:

Hawkmoon Rolls:

• Fluted Barrel
