He can be found at Watcher's Grave on Nessus and is selling various Exotic armor and weapons, including D.A.R.C.I., Young Ahamkara's Spine, ACD/0 Feedback Fence, Apotheosis Veil, Hawkmoon, Dead Man's Tale, and more. The Legendary weapons on offer include Gnawing Hunger, Whispering Slab, Tripwire Canary, Gridskipper, Enigma's Draw, and IKELOS_SR_V1.0.3. The Warlock, Titan, and Hunter Legendary armor sets are also available, but they are not highly recommended.
Bungie is making significant changes to combat in Destiny 2, including nerfs to overpowered subclass abilities. The Strand effect Suspend, which immobilizes enemies, will have its duration reduced against both regular enemies and champions. The Arc Titan's Knockout melee and Thundercrash super, which have been dominant in competitive PvP, will also be adjusted. Additionally, several Exotic armor pieces will receive buffs. These changes will take effect with the launch of season 22 on August 22.
Xûr, the exotic vendor in Destiny 2, is now available at The Tower until the next reset. This week, Xûr is offering various exotic armor pieces, including the highly recommended Stronghold gauntlets for Titans. The exotic weapons on sale are Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale. Additionally, there are several legendary weapons available, such as Whispering Slab and Cold Denial. Unfortunately, the warlock and titan legendary armor sets have poor stats, while the hunter set is also underwhelming.
Xur is now live in Destiny 2 until next week's reset, offering a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. Xur's location can be found at Winding Cove in the EDZ on June 23 through June 27. Xur's offerings this week include the Jade Rabbit, Wormhusk Crown, Heart of Inmost Light, Phoenix Protocol, Hawkmoon, Dead Man's Tale, and a variety of Legendary weapons and armor.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep has brought new loot and activities, but the old exotics that got buffs are worth checking out. Chromatic Fire and Malfeasance are recommended for Warlock, Second Chance Shield Spam with Monte Carlo for Titan, and Super Strawman Strand with Quicksilver Storm for Hunter. These builds feature significant buffs from the sandbox or from this season's mods and are fun for almost all other content.
A new exploit has been discovered in Destiny 2 that allows players to farm an unlimited amount of Legendary Shards by deleting an exotic quest from their Quests tab after completing the quest steps until it shows a potential exotic armor reward and asks to visit Ikora Rey in the Tower. Players can claim an infinite number of exotic armor pieces from her and dismantle them for 5 Legendary Shards per dismantle, along with 500 Glimmer and Gunsmith reputation.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep brings three new Exotic armor pieces for Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters. The Warlock's Cenotaph Mask reloads Trace Rifles and marks combatants, rewarding allies with Heavy ammo. The Titan's Arbor Warden creates grenades that explode and create a barricade at the impact location. The Hunter's Triton Vice makes the Glaive come alive with power and overflow with each foe they dispatch. The usefulness of the Titan Exotic is questionable, while the Warlock Exotic may become a go-to for endgame content.
Bungie is introducing Exotic armor focusing in Destiny 2, allowing players to influence what they get from an Exotic engram. Rahool at the Tower will offer two options to influence the drop, Advanced Decryption and Precision Decryption, with the latter allowing players to focus on a specific piece of Exotic armor of their choice. Bungie is also planning to buff "more than 15" of Destiny's "lower-performing" Exotic armors, while others will get unspecified balance changes. These changes will go live with the launch of Season 21, Season of the Deep, which is expected to begin on May 23.
Bungie has confirmed that it will be reworking more than 15 exotic armor pieces in Destiny 2 with the release of Season of the Deep. A leaked list of reworks includes 22 exotic armor and 5 exotic weapons, including St0mp-EE5 and Ophidian Aspect. Bungie will reveal more details on these upgrades as the release date approaches.
