It's a brand-new season of activity in Destiny 2, but you can always count on intergalactic arms dealer Xur to make a scheduled visit to this corner of the cosmos. The Agent of the Nine has returned for another weekend, and as usual, you can expect him to have a fresh stock of Exotic weapons and Legendary-class gear. Here's where you can find Xur and what Exotics he's selling this week.
This week you can find Xur in the EDZ, in the Winding Cove area. For his weapon, Xur is offering Sweet Business. Hunters can pick up Gemini Jester leg armor, Titans can grab the Eternal Warrior helmet, and for Warlocks, Xur has the Claws of Ahamkara gauntlets.
Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET on Friday. Bungie doesn't mark Xur's location on the in-game map, so it can be easy to miss him if you're not aware he exists. But he only comes to specific locations, of which now there are only three: the Tower Hangar area, on Nessus in Watcher's Grave, and in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ.
Pure firepower that goes in your primary kinetic weapon slot, Sweet Business is essentially a mini-gun that will let you unleash a storm of bullets. If you're playing as a Titan and you have the Exotic chest armor Actium War Rig, you'll be able to fire and hardly ever worry about reloading. Get your fireteam to back you up with restoration and resilience buffs, and you can use this auto rifle to steadily chop down tough bosses.
Dead Man's Tale
Dead Man's Tale got a shake-up this week in a massive Destiny 2 patch, so it's going to be interesting to see how it performs now that it has been tweaked yet again. Bungie still views this particular weapon as a hip-firing cowboy power fantasy, and with Moving Target as this week's perk, you'll get extra movement speed and target acquisition while moving and when you switch to iron sights.

Hawkmoon's roll this week is focused on shooting from the hip. Hip-Fire Grip increases accuracy, stability, and precision hit targeting when firing from the hip, and with Heavy Grip included in this week's roll, you'll be able to predictably land those killer shots more quickly and easily.

If you needed another reason to make people despise you in PvP, here you go.Gemini Jester sees a lot of use in PvP, as being able to use your dodge ability to get a more advantageous position in a close-range firefight and mess with enemy players by disorientating them comes in very handy. This Exotic comes with a particularly high Intellect stat this week, which works great for builds where you want to build your Super energy quickly.

Pop a super and a shield with Eternal Warrior.If you're a Titan who specializes in running an Arc 3.0 build that's made to make amplify your Fists of Havoc super, then Eternal Warrior is a key Exotic to equip. This Exotic helmet is particularly great when dealing with quick-firing Guardians in PvP or tough bosses in PvE who can melt your health bar, as you'll gain an Overshield that adds an extra layer of protection when you're temporarily vulnerable during the super activation animation. It also has a high roll of stats this week, for an added bonus.

Double the space-wizard punching power with Claws of Ahamkara.Unlike Titans and Hunters, Warlock melee attacks mostly add debilitating effects to enemies rather than wipe them out in one close-range attack. With Claws of Ahamkara, you'll be able to essentially double down on those effects, with these Exotic gauntlets coming in handy for Void and Solar builds particularly. This week's roll comes with a high Resilience stat as well, allowing you to close the gap more easily.
