Even at the end of the year, Xur is a constant component in Destiny 2. Like every Friday, he will offer you a few Exotics that you can simply purchase from him. What he has and where you can find him will be revealed to you as always on MeinMMO.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? Before Season 19, Bungie’s loot shooter was facing issues. The desolate state of PvP, especially with cheaters, is currently causing even more trouble for players since content is thin at the moment.
Last weekend, a cheater got even bolder than usual and incredibly openly ruined the PvP endgame for many players in the Trials of Osiris. There was no remorse, as he went unbanned for 3 days.
The situation in PvE was no better: The last video epilogue to the story from Season 18 dragged on like chewing gum. Meanwhile, if one looked at Steam, they could see the lowest player numbers in a long time.
In this context, Destiny 2 streamer Aztecross notes that players are not only decreasing in number. They are apparently also getting fed up with Bungie’s current course. The question this week posed to the Destiny community was: How long can Bungie keep its boat afloat before it sinks?
The Guardians are now eagerly awaiting Season 19 and what Bungie will present them there. So far, almost nothing is known about the upcoming 3 months of content. Bungie has only revealed that they have brought in Assassin’s Creed to equip the Guardians with new cosmetics. So far, they have only announced a lot of nerfs for the launch, including one for the most famous Exotic in Destiny 2:
All info on Xur on December 02, 2022 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur come? The exotic dealer visits Destiny 2 every Friday at 6 PM. Anyone who still has gaps in their Exotic collection looks forward to him then, as he is the easiest way to get Exotics. It only costs you a one-way ticket and some materials as currency.
Where is Xur? This is his location for the weekend
Xur’s position: Even though Xur only actively uses a few location positions, no Guardian knows before 6 PM where he will land. However, MeinMMO is always close on his tail and will reveal it to you as quickly as possible.

What does Xur always have with him: You can always get an Exotic Engram for 97 Legendary Shards from Xur, as well as the weekly quest to obtain an exotic code.
Trials of Osiris from December 02 – 06 – Map, Weapons, and Info
This weekend, the last Trials of Osiris in Season 19 are running. They are an endgame PvP activity and take place every weekend.
Which map is in play this week? Unlike in regular PvP, where the maps rotate, in the Guardian versus Guardian endgame, there is only one fixed map every weekend on which you play. This allows for easy organized team shooting. Many players use the terms from the Warmind callout maps.
Bannerfall, Altar of Flame, and Exodus Blue.
How to get your loot: The Trials of Osiris also have a reputation rank system, which you will find at the 14th Saint. Top loot rewards from PvP matches are available from him for:
- Seven wins
- 50 rounds
- as well as the infamous flawless run, which leads you to the Lighthouse
This is the reward for a flawless run: Players can earn very special loot every week in the form of a Trials Master weapon. However, you can only obtain it if you crown your Trials Pass flawlessly with 7 wins. You can farm the weapon until the upcoming Tuesday, December 06, at 6:00 PM.
All Trials weapons have a Trials origin perk: “Swiftness” – Improves reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of your fireteam or fighting alone.
Your Trials Engrams can be specifically focused on your desired weapon at the 14th Saint. On top of that, you can also receive Enhancement Prisms and Ascendant Shards. Remember that your rewards will further increase once you have a complete pass – even if you’ve lost one or two games.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris begin today, December 02 at 6:00 PM and end with the weekly reset on December 06 at 6:00 PM.
How will you spend the last weekend before Season 19 in Destiny 2? Are you hoping for more information from Bungie about the new Season 19? Or are you going to take it easy and tidy up your vault a bit?
