Xur has returned again to Destiny 2, complete with new exotic and legendary gear for players to check out for a limited time. Another weekend arrives in Destiny 2, just days away from the next event launching at reset next week. In a recent blog post, Bungie confirmed Arms Week, a limited-time event that highlights a specific weapon type, offering unique weapons, mods, and quests. For this first iteration, Hand Cannons will be featured alongside special volatile mods and the brand-new Phoneutria Fera, a spreadshot solar gun that uses primary ammo.
Alongside that, Bungie continues to tinker away on the remaining issues plaguing the experience. Recently, Bungie acknowledged a community discovered an issue with Destiny 2's new ability stats and how they're not recharging as fast as they're supposed to be. Players need to build to a minimum of 85 instead of the previously announced 70, though a fix is being worked on with an explanation of what happened inside the patch notes.
Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: New Activities, Challenges, and Rewards
The weekly reset for Destiny 2 is live and here are all of the new details including activity rotations, seasonal challenges, and much more.
For now, though,the weekend merchant Xur is back with a new inventory of gear for Destiny 2 players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he's brought for the weekend of July 25, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there's no more hunting when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley is to the right, where Xur is standing.
Destiny 2 Class Armor
Starting with the Edge of Fate expansion, Xur's role in the Tower has expanded a bit. While Xur no longer carries legendary armor, the merchant has increased his exotic offering by selling two pieces of gear for each class each week. Xur's new Destiny 2 inventory can still be found at the Tower Bazaar.
