With the weekly reset on November 3, we’ll be in the final week of Destiny 2 before the launch of Beyond Light. This weekend marks your last chance to finish up the Festival of the Lost activities, and the penultimate visit by Exotics vendor Xur in the Season of Arrivals. Head to Titan, to the The Rig area, to find Xur this week. For his weapon, Xur is offering Skyburner’s Oath. Hunters can pick up the Ophidia Spathe chest armor; for Titans, there’s the Eternal Warrior helmet; and for Warlocks, Xur has the Transversive Steps leg armor.
Xur Location
Use the Titan transmat zone on The Rig and hop on your sparrow, heading east along the edge of the platform. After passing under some scaffolding, look for a low building on the edge of the platform on your left. Inside the dark structure, you’ll find Xur, enjoying the shadows.
Xur Exotic Items
Skyburner’s Oath is Xur’s weapon this week, one that’s great if you’re facing Cabal enemies. The scout rifle does extra damage to Cabal and penetrates Phalanx shields, which makes it very handy if you’re knocking out raids on the Leviathan before they go in the Destiny Content Vault. But if you’re not a fan of his other options, Xur also sells an Exotic engram that will decrypt into an Exotic you don’t already own. He also has the Five of Swords challenge card, which lets you enable modifiers for Nightfall Strikes.

Skyburner’s Oath (Scout Rifle)
An oldie but a goodie, Skyburner’s Oath is an excellent anti-Cabal weapon. The gun does extra damage to Cabal enemies and goes straight through Phalanx shields, making blasting through any Cabal PvE missions a whole lot simpler. It also fires explosive slugs that seek enemies when you’re firing from the hip. Aim down the sights, and the slugs will take on a slower rate of fire but hit for more damage, and fire straight rather than seeking.
Ophidia Spathe (Hunter)
Lots of Hunters love their powerful melee throwing knives, and Ophidia Spathe feeds your addiction to their low-fi kills. The Exotic gives you a second knife for every melee charge, which can be great with melee-focused Hunter builds in both PvE and PvP. It’s a simple and effective Exotic if you want to make knife headshots the focus of your playstyle.

Eternal Warrior (Titan)
Eternal Warrior provides a major boost for your Fists of Havoc Super, which can be very helpful in the Crucible. When you activate the Super, the Exotic grants you an overshield, making you a lot tougher to kill as you chase down Guardians (or plow through a wave of Thralls).

Transversive Steps (Warlock)
Warlocks aren’t always the speediest class, but Transversive Steps helps them be a little more fleet-footed. The boots increase your sprint speed, with the added benefit of reloading your equipped weapon after a short period of sprinting. If you’re trying to stay on the move and in the fight in either PvP or PvE, Transversive Steps can help keep you firing.
