Expect the desired arrival of Xur in Destiny 2. Even in the new Season 18, he is reliability personified and looks forward to your visit. So do him the favor and stop by, as he has a new offer this week, which we present to you here.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? This week started the new “Season of the Plunderers” in Destiny 2. A season with new legends, quirky pirates, and their grand loot treasures. In addition, you can meet old acquaintances who have been hiding, and discover Cryptic Quatrain puzzles, especially at Insight level 7, 10, and 16.
However, if you prefer to visit the endgame, you can indulge in the new raid “Kingsfall” starting from today. It just started in competitive mode and not only makes the Guardians sweat but also discover brand new loot returning from Destiny 1. This includes the “Malicious Touch”.
Otherwise, Destiny 2 is currently plagued by bugs with weapons and Exotics that Bungie is still trying to fix. Until a fix can be provided, most items have been temporarily disabled.
On one hand, because almost all grenade launchers in the game have mutated into DPS monsters. And on the other hand, probably to avoid jeopardizing the raid race. You can read here which Exotics and armor pieces have been disabled:

When will Xur arrive? The exotic merchant is a creature of habit and therefore always drops by Destiny 2 on Fridays at 7 PM. Anyone who still has gaps in their Exotic collection expects him then, as he is the fastest way to own everything. And that even at decent material prices.

Xur’s position: Right on time for the daily reset at 7 PM, the tentacle-faced one has landed. His arrival coincides with the start of the new raid “Kingsfall”, so you won’t have to deal with long lines for your shopping.

Xur also sells Legendary items and offers unique rolls for Exotics from no longer available exotic missions from past DLCs every week.
Currently, he has these two weapons for sale:
- The exotic hand cannon “Hawkmoon” with the perk “Murderous Wind”
- The exotic scout rifle “The Last Word” with the perk “Moving Target”
These are the costs for the weapons: For these two Exotics, the costs are each 1 Ascendant Shard, 1 Exotic Engram, 125,000 Glimmer, and 200 Legendary Shards.
This is what Xur always has with him: You can always get an Exotic Engram for 97 Legendary Shards from Xur, along with the weekly quest to obtain an exotic engram.
Raid launch “Kingsfall” instead of Trials of Osiris
The Trials of Osiris are currently paused. They will resume in Season 18 on September 16. PvP players can use the time to earn some top loot for boosting their power levels in the new Destiny 2 raid “Kingsfall”.
We have summarized all the important information for this Worlds-First race and the loot from the Legacy raid in this article. And if you have not yet known Bungie’s loot shooter, you should know that Destiny 2, including the Witch Queen campaign and more, is currently free.
Do you have time today to visit Xur? Or will you start with your team in the “Kingsfall” raid to find out what makes it so special? Feel free to leave us a comment.
