Xur has returned to The Tower in Bungie’s Destiny 2 and has a fairly uneventful stock. There aren’t any Shadowkeep Exotics this week but then again, that’s not too strange given how many were introduced in the expansion. Xur will be available until the weekly reset tomorrow (which is the same time that Iron Banner starts).
In terms of Exotic gear, Xur is carrying Ashen Wake (Titan gloves), The Stag (Warlock helm) and Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves (Hunter gloves). Ashen Wake is still fairly niche, causing Fusion Grenades to explode on impact, as is Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves with its increased sidearm ready and reload speed (along with more sidearm damage when critically wounded).
The Stag doesn’t provide much either, generating Rift energy when critically wounded. Otherwise, the one decent item is the Jade Rabbit, an Exotic Scout Rifle. Its perk increases the damage of the next headshot with every body-shot. Though the meta hasn’t shifted towards Scout Rifles all that much, it’s pretty serviceable in Crucible.
