In Destiny 2 it is once again time to visit the exotic merchant Xur. MeinMMO tells you what exceptional items he has on offer this weekend and where his current location is.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? This week saw some interesting developments in Destiny 2. An analysis by Guardians showed that the loss of 64% of players is not as concerning for Bungie as it seems at first glance.
Furthermore, Bungie will finally fix a bug after two years that has been a useful feature for many players. Starting from Season 22, Guardians will have to prepare for solid ammunition acquisition to become important again.
By the way, Xur has revealed to us that while he sells many exotic weapons to the Guardians, he doesn’t know all the secrets of their hidden bonuses and abilities. To stay one step ahead of him, we have listed the hidden advantages of 16 unique exotic weapons that are not mentioned in the official descriptions.

Trials of Osiris from August 4 – 8 – Map, Weapons, and Info
The Trials represent a weekly PvP event that puts Guardians to the test and challenges their skills as well as teamwork. This endgame challenge offers intense 3v3 matches, where only the bravest and most skilled can earn the Trials’ rewards and find their way to the Lighthouse.
What map is up this week? In the Trials, Guardians must focus on a specific map. It does not change and remains active until the weekly reset on August 8.

This is the reward for a flawless run: Every week there is also a special weapon waiting for you at the Lighthouse, which you receive as a Master version for your flawless run, meaning 7 victories. You can earn the weapon until the upcoming Tuesday, August 1, at 7:00 PM.
As a reward, there is always an Adept weapon waiting for you if you made it safely to the Lighthouse.

Focus on the loot you want: Your Trials Engrams can also be focused on your desired weapon at the 14th Saint. Additionally, there are Upgrade Prisms and Ascendant Shards.
- Your reward increases further as soon as you have a complete pass – even if you have lost one or two Trials matches.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris begin today, August 4, 2023, at 7:00 PM and end with the weekly reset on August 8, 2023, at 7:00 PM.
