Exotic Armor and Weapon Recommendations from Xur for May 2

Xur’s back in Destiny 2 — yeah, you heard me, he’s back again with all that juicy gear. We’re not talking just any loot; it’s exotic, it’s legendary, and, yup, it’s here for a tick-tock while. So, if you’re into scrambling for shiny stuff, now’s your time, because Destiny 2 is about to unveil some big secret. Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is coming, and they’re dropping hints. Honestly, not sure where I stand on all these teases — like, are they being mysterious on purpose, or am I just not paying attention?

Oh, and heads up, May 6 is gonna be wild. Bungie’s shaking things up with a sandbox update. More guns and armor, and that trusty old pulse rifle Redrix’s Estoc is getting a tweak. Again. Like, c’mon, just let it be! Or maybe it’s just me wanting something new.

Okay, let’s get into it. The weekend means one thing — Xur is in town. And guess where he’s pitched his tent? Permanent resident in the Bazaar at The Tower. I mean, it’s almost like he couldn’t make up his mind before. So, if you’re looking to cut down on that running around, he’s near the Ramen Shop. Why the Ramen Shop? No clue, but now I’m craving noodles.

So, Xur’s giving out quests, those exotic ciphers, and the usual flash. Oh, by the way, need those ciphers if you’re eyeing a legacy exotic from the Tower. Do some strikes, win a crucible match — throw in some gambit if you fancy. More fun with clan mates, they say. Yet, don’t let me start on finishing challenges solo — it’s a pain.

Let’s talk gear. First up, Aeon Soul for Warlocks. Not mandatory, but if you’re into supporting the team, it’s got your back. Antaeus Wards for Titans — reflects stuff but honestly? Bit niche. Personal fave? Khepri’s Sting for Hunters. Smoky bombs and extra sight in PvP — yum, except the stats this week? Meh.

Now, weapons — Xur’s got a stockpile. Hawkmoon’s back, Vigilance Wing, Wavesplitter, and Black Talon. Feels like a buffet, and I’m not complaining. If you’re picky, well, I guess life’s just tough — or, buy everything, roll the dice?

In Year 7, Xur’s doing something a bit different, more like leveling-based rewards. There’s a skimmer board — rides kinda like surfing in space. Random, but hey, every Guardian needs flair, right?

And just when you thought you were done, legendary gear’s up for grabs. Nightshade, Dire Promise, Death Adder — the works for the shard-counting enthusiast. Looks like every Destiny 2 player’s weekend strategy: hit up Xur, sift through his goodies, and maybe exchange those weird coins for something unexpected.

Well, that’s the rundown. Not everything must align perfect or be right on point, but hey — randomness makes the game feel a bit more real, right? Guess I’ll see you lining up at the Bazaar. Or maybe not. Depends if you see me first.
