At the end of the year, Xur pays a final visit to Destiny 2 in 2022. So if you need any missing Exotics or want to complete old armor sets, a visit to him is a must. MeinMMO will tell you this evening where to find Xur and what his offerings look like.
What happened in Destiny 2 this week? Currently, the developer of Destiny 2 is on a short break. As Bungie announced, no blog articles or updates will be released until January 12, 2023. However, fate does not care about plans and delivered regular error codes and game crashes, so Bungie is still active at the moment.
The current issues have caused them to even temporarily disable the API, the all-connecting heart of the loot shooter, for the second time. According to Bungie, the cause of the ongoing “error bonanza” in the game is said to be the new exotic weapon “Revision Zero”, which now poses tough competition to the buggiest exotic in the game.
This week it became known that dataminers have found a special subscription model in the data depths of Destiny 2. However, what exactly it is can only be speculated, as Bungie has not yet released anything official and continues to distribute its well-known annual pass model. However, it could also indicate changes with the upcoming DLC “Lightfall”.
At least players who managed to get past error codes and disconnects this week in the Season of the Seraph discovered an interesting new story part and also found the “Good Boy” protocol.
All info on Xur December 30, 2022 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur arrive? The exotic merchant visits Destiny 2 every Friday at 6 PM. Anyone who has gaps in their Exotic collection awaits him then, as he is the easiest way to obtain Exotics. It only costs you a one-way trip and some materials as payment.
Where is Xur? This is his warehouse for the weekend
Xur’s location: Although Xur only uses a few location positions, no Guardian knows where he will land before 6 PM.
On the map, you can see his exact position:

Xur also sells legendary items and offers unique rolls for Exotics from no longer available exotic missions from past DLCs each week. However, note that you can only buy the weapons if you own the appropriate expansion.
Currently, he has these two weapons on offer:
- The exotic hand cannon “Hawkmoon” (Beyond Light DLC) with the perk “Weapon Seeker”
- The exotic scout rifle “No Time to Explain” (Beyond Light DLC) with the perk “All Good Things Are Four”
The cost of the weapons: For these two Exotics, the cost is 1 Ascendant Shard each, 1 Exotic Code, 125,000 Glimmer, and 200 Legendary Shards.
What Xur always has on hand: You always get an Exotic Engram for 97 Legendary Shards at Xur, as well as the weekly quest to obtain an exotic code.

Trials of Osiris December 30 – January 3 – Map, Weapons, and Info
This week you can dive back into the Trials of Osiris. Next week, the 14th Saint will make way for Lord Saladin. He brings the new mode “Stronghold” and wants you to prove yourself in “Guardians vs. Guardians” and against Caiatl starting January 3, 2023.
But until then, Guardians have to wait a week, which is why we will now tell you what can be obtained in the Trials.
Which map is on for this week? Unlike in regular PvP, where the maps rotate, in the Guardian vs. Guardian endgame, there is only one set map every weekend. This allows for coordinated team shots. Many players use the terms of the Callout Maps from Warmind for this.
Here’s how to get your loot: The Trials of Osiris also have a reputation rank system, which you can find at the 14th Saint. You can get the top loot rewards from PvP matches from him for:
- Seven victories
- 50 rounds
- as well as the notorious flawless run that leads you to the Lighthouse
This is the reward for a flawless run: Players can also earn very special loot each week in the form of a Trials master weapon. However, you can only get it if you crown your Trials pass flawlessly with 7 victories. You can farm the weapon until the upcoming Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at 6:00 PM.
All trial weapons have a Trials origin perk: “Haste” – Improves reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of your fireteam or fighting alone.
You can target your Trials engrams at your desired weapon at the 14th Saint. On top of that, you can earn enhancement prisms and Ascendant shards. Remember, your rewards increase even more once you have a complete pass – even if you have lost one or two games.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris start today, on December 30, 2022, at 6:00 PM and end with the Weekly Reset on January 3, 2023, at 6:00 PM.
Now all that’s left is for us to wish you a Happy New Year 2023! If you want, you can let us know in the comments if you are still affected by error codes or if the deactivation of the API has helped reduce the issues in the game.
