Destiny 2 Xur's November 2025 Guide

It's late November 2025, and I'm back with my weekly Destiny 2 grind. Xur has just popped up again in the Tower, bringing fresh exotic gear for us guardians to scoop up. As a dedicated player, I always make time to check his stash—especially since Episode Heresy is winding down between Acts, giving us a perfect chance to farm dungeon weapons like Sundered Doctrine. Bungie's recent updates have smoothed out Trials of Osiris and tweaked exotics like Speaker's Sight and Blight Ranger, so this weekend feels like a breather before the next big thing. 💪

No more wild goose chases for Xur, thank the Traveler! He's permanently camped out in the Bazaar area of the Tower now—easy peasy. Just head between the fast travel points, stroll past Ikora and Hawthorne, and look for the Ramen Shop. Turn right into that alley, and there he is, chilling like always. His setup hasn't changed much: weekly quests for exotic ciphers, legendary gear, and that sweet chance to snag legacy exotics from the Tower kiosk. Complete strikes or win Crucible/Gambit matches for a cipher—bonus points if you squad up with clanmates for tougher activities. It's a grind, but totally worth it for that extra engram. 😅

This week's exotic armor lineup is a mixed bag, though. Let's break it down:

• Apotheosis Veil (Warlock helmet): With stats like Mobility +15 and Intellect +19, it's not a must-buy unless you're chasing high mobility builds. Honestly, a bit underwhelming with that resilience stat at +7.

• Aeon Swift (Hunter gauntlets): The Aeon's Wrath perk boosts reload speed on precision hits, and Foebreaker Chant marks targets for ally damage buffs. Stats? Resilience +19 and Discipline +20 make it tanky, but it's still niche—won't replace meta picks like Celestial Nighthawk.

• Actium War Rig (Titan chest): Mobility +21? Oof, not ideal for resilience-focused Titans. Stats total 67, with Strength +15, so maybe skip unless you're into mobility builds.

Year 7's Xur revamp is a game-changer, adding rank progression, focusing options, and more than just weapons. His full inventory includes:

Item	Cost	Notes
Prospector Catalyst	50 Legendary Shards	Great for auto-reloading perks
Graviton Lance Catalyst	50 Legendary Shards	Void builds love this
Xurfboard (Skimmer)	1000 Glimmer	Fun but not essential
Exotic Engram	97 Strange Coins	Always a gamble
Enhancement Prism	1 Strange Coin	For masterworking gear

Now, for the weapons—Xur's packing heat with multiple exotics this weekend! 🔥

• Hawkmoon: That Paracausal Shot stacks damage on final blows. Roll includes Chambered Compensator and Snapshot Sights—solid for PvP if you land headshots. .jpg)

• The Huckleberry: Ride the Bull perk boosts hip-fire accuracy and auto-reloads on ammo pickups. With Rampage, it's a beast for add-clear in PvE. Feels nostalgic!

• Lord of Wolves: Shrapnel Launcher's oscillating damage is fun, and Release the Wolves suppresses targets on orb pickups. Extended Mag helps, but it's situational.

• Wardcliff Coil: Mad Scientist swaps scopes for different firing modes. Mechanized Autoloader boosts hip-fire stability—great for chaotic encounters.

Legendary gear is up for grabs too: Farewell sidearm, Nightshade pulse rifle, Seventh Seraph VY-7 SMG, and heavy options like Blast Battue and Crown-Splitter swords. All cost 50 Legendary Shards and 1000 Glimmer—budget-friendly for newer players. Don't forget the Strange Weapon Engram for random rolls!

With Destiny 2's player count still strong—peaking around 67k last month—it's clear the game's thriving post-Edge of Fate. That expansion added the Crossbow, a heavy precision weapon similar to Linear Fusions but with unique firing mechanics. It's become a meta pick in high-level content, and seeing it in action makes me wonder how Bungie will evolve the sandbox next. 🤔

So, is Xur worth the visit this November? For collectors, absolutely—grab Hawkmoon or Huckleberry if you missed them. But gear stats can be hit-or-miss, making me question why Bungie leans into mobility rolls sometimes. What if they introduce more customization in future seasons? Could Xur's randomness become a feature, not a flaw? Food for thought as we prep for whatever's next in the Destiny universe. ✨
