Xur’s Exotic Gear and Suggestions for April 11

Xur returns once more to Destiny 2, bringing a fresh selection of exotic and legendary gear for Guardians to explore over the weekend. Destiny 2 fans are in for a treat this week, with the conclusion of the Episode: Heresy story, but eyes are turning toward the upcoming Marathon gameplay reveal slated for April 12. With Marathon taking the spotlight, it begs the question: what’s next on the horizon for Destiny 2? With Episode: Heresy wrapped up and Bungie keeping mum about Codename: Frontiers, Guardians find themselves in a waiting period. However, hope is on the horizon with the anticipated Rite of the Nine activity set to drop soon. Players are eagerly awaiting Bungie’s next big announcement.

In the interim, Xur, our favorite exotic merchant, is back with a new collection of gear for Destiny 2 players. If you’re curious about his latest location, updates on his exotic cipher quest, or want a rundown of the exotic and legendary items he’s offering for the weekend of April 11, 2025, you’ve come to the right place.

So, where can you find Xur this time? He has settled in the Bazaar within The Tower, eliminating the need for a scavenger hunt every weekend. You can get there effortlessly from either fast travel point, making your way through the bustling area where you’ll find Ikora and Hawthorne. Look toward the Ramen Shop against the back wall, and Xur is tucked away in the alley on the right.

Xur stays true to his role, offering the usual weekly quests alongside his collection of exotics and legendary treasures. These quests are vital to secure a second fated engram or claim legacy exotic items from the Tower kiosk. Players can snag a new cipher by diving into strikes and securing victories in crucible or gambit matches. Boost your points by playing with clan members or tackling more demanding challenges.

Taking a closer look at Xur’s exotic armor this weekend:

Nezarec’s Sin – Warlock Helmet

• Mobility +16
• Resilience +13
• Recovery +7
• Discipline +10
• Intellect +10
• Strength +12

Graviton Forfeit – Hunter Helmet
Sporting the Vanishing Shadow perk, this gear is fantastic for builds that focus on invisibility, making it a must-have this week if that’s your play style.

• Resilience +2
• Recovery +21
• Discipline +10
• Intellect +15
• Strength +6

Phoenix Cradle – Titan Leg Armor
