Guardians, the weekend is here, and that means only one thing for dedicated Destiny 2 players: Xur, the enigmatic Agent of the Nine, has arrived! Every week, this mysterious vendor appears in a random location, offering a fresh stock of Exotic weapons and armor. The burning question on everyone’s mind is always, where’s Xur today? This week, you can find Xur at the Rig on Titan. He’s set up shop near the fast travel point, tucked away in a small alcove at the top of a set of stairs. Don’t delay, because Xur’s stay is limited, and his inventory is always worth a look, especially if you’re hunting for that missing piece to complete your Exotic collection or seeking powerful gear for your Guardian.
This week’s inventory might not be the most groundbreaking for veteran players swimming in Legendary Shards, but there are definitely some items that stand out. Let’s dive into what Xur is offering this week and see if anything catches your eye.
Xur’s Exotic Inventory: Week of October [Date]
This week, Xur is selling the following Exotic items:
Wardcliff Coil
The Wardcliff Coil Exotic rocket launcher is a truly unique weapon in the Destiny 2 arsenal. Instead of firing a single, precise rocket, the Wardcliff Coil unleashes a chaotic volley of projectiles. Think of it as a handheld, miniature missile battery. Aiming is almost irrelevant with this weapon, as it’s designed to blanket an area with rockets. In terms of gameplay, the Wardcliff Coil excels at clearing groups of weaker enemies and can be surprisingly effective against tougher foes at close range due to the sheer volume of rockets. While it might not be the most strategically versatile weapon, the Wardcliff Coil is undeniably fun to use and brings a sense of explosive mayhem to any encounter.
Foetracer
For Hunter Guardians, the Foetracer Exotic helmet is arguably the highlight of Xur’s inventory this week. This helmet is a standout item, particularly in PvP (Player vs. Player) scenarios. Foetracer’s intrinsic perk allows you to mark enemies that you’ve damaged. This marking effect is incredibly valuable because it lets you track your targets even when they move behind cover or try to disengage. Knowing the location of a damaged enemy gives you a significant tactical advantage, allowing you to anticipate their movements and prevent them from getting the drop on you in a firefight. While its PvP prowess is undeniable, Foetracer also offers some utility in PvE (Player vs. Environment) by enhancing your awareness of the battlefield, especially in chaotic situations. If you’re a Hunter looking to gain an edge in the Crucible, Foetracer is a must-consider Exotic.
ACD/0 Feedback Fence
The ACD/0 Feedback Fence Exotic Titan gauntlets are a returning classic for those Titans who favor a more aggressive, melee-focused playstyle. These gauntlets offer a unique defensive and offensive capability. As you defeat enemies with melee attacks, the Feedback Fence charges up with explosive energy. When you are subsequently struck by a melee attack, this stored energy is unleashed in a powerful explosion, damaging nearby enemies. This Exotic can be particularly effective for clearing out large groups of weaker enemies that rely on melee attacks, such as Thrall or other close-range combatants. While not always the most universally applicable Exotic, the ACD/0 Feedback Fence can be a fun and effective choice for specific Titan builds and encounters.
Sunbracers
Lastly, for Warlock players, Xur is offering the Sunbracers Exotic gauntlets. These gauntlets are designed to enhance the Solar subclass, specifically focusing on grenades. Sunbracers extend the duration of your Solar grenades, allowing them to linger and deal damage for a longer period. Additionally, landing a melee hit grants you grenade energy, encouraging an aggressive, ability-focused playstyle. While perhaps not as immediately impactful as some other Warlock Exotics, Sunbracers can be strategically utilized to control areas with extended grenade duration, and the grenade energy regeneration can be beneficial in sustained engagements, particularly against bosses or challenging enemies. Experimentation might reveal some potent builds centered around Solar grenades and Sunbracers.
Final Thoughts
Xur’s inventory this week presents a mix of intriguing Exotics. While the Wardcliff Coil offers chaotic fun and the ACD/0 Feedback Fence provides a niche melee option for Titans, the Foetracer helmet stands out as the most universally useful item, especially for Hunters in PvP. Warlocks might find some potential in the Sunbracers for Solar grenade-focused builds. Ultimately, whether or not Xur’s offerings are must-haves depends on your individual playstyle and collection. Make sure to visit Xur at the Rig on Titan before he departs with the weekly reset! And remember to check back next week to find out where’s Xur today and see what new Exotics he brings.
