What's a Xûr?

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who appears weekly in the Tower. Xûr sells Exotic equipment and only takes Strange Coins in exchange for them.

TL;DR: He's the Santa Claus of Destiny and every weekend is Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want, sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it's coal.

When does Xûr visit?

Xûr visits every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at Weekly Reset (Tuesday 17:00 UTC). If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

He will never sell a good Hawkmoon lol. I wish it had another source to obtain.

83

u/fengkalis 4d ago

Or became craftable like they said it would T.T

79

u/CPTW_ 4d ago

Dw surely they will add it in the next major expansion.

5

u/BansheeTwin350 4d ago

I heard that's why it's delayed. 😉

3

u/Hoockus_Pocus 4d ago

I always thought that Harbinger would come back someday, with craftable Hawkmoon. Shame.

9

u/ChefTastyTreats 4d ago

What do you mean good? Exotics can be different?

35

u/SodiumExtract 4d ago

Hawkmoon has random rolls for the barrel, main perk and grip. To my knowledge it and Ergo Sum are the only exotics in the game that can roll random perks without being crafted.

2

u/TheCheapo1 4d ago

There's also the exotic class item, but that's armour.

21

u/Gcarsk 4d ago edited 4d ago

Hawkmoon and Dead Man’s Tale came with random rolls.

Later on, when crafting was added, DMT was moved over to that (all crafted exotics can have different rolls, since you select them yourself) but Hawkmoon stayed as it was. Ergo Sum was added later and also has random element (Solar, arc, or void), frame (wave, vortex, lightweight, caster, aggressive) and perk rolls taken from other exotics (Wolfpack Rounds, Arc Conductor, The Perfect Fifth etc).

u/ERR_LOADING_NAME 4d ago

Can’t you just Reroll it by getting from collections? Or was that a bug that got patched

2

u/SodiumExtract 4d ago

It doesn’t let me pull from collections

1

u/brb_skywalking "We play for keeps" 3d ago

idk about the collections bug but for a while you could just keep buying them straight from Xur over and over, and they'd have different rolls. I farmed a few of them I liked that way so I could try them out and keep what I wanted. that might have also been patched though

3

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 4d ago

I have debated not even checking, as this sub or Crucible Guidebook will probably lose their collective minds if it is even mid.

5

u/SodiumExtract 4d ago

True. Whenever I get killed by one in crucible I inspect it. Have yet to see a good one.

4

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 4d ago

Since D1, Hawkmoon is that gun I can never quite jive with. I always have the feeling like it hasn't quite "clicked" with me yet, but feels very close to clicking. One good roll could be all it takes to get the feel down, but here we are lol.

2

u/John_the_Piper 3d ago

It's the sight picture for me. Everything about the gun handles well, but the sight picture just doesn't work for me

1

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 1d ago

That might be it, as I have hated good weapons in the past with bad sights. Hawkmoon has always felt good, but maybe the sight and jerkiness is what throws me off. Working on the Turncoat Catalyst, I was wondering how it would fair for an invasion in Lawless Frontier, and realized even you can predict or feel where a gun will settle, I hate handcannons where the dot or reticle is super low. Makes it harder to track your target unless your stability is super high, and even then I would prefer something with a higher up or floating dot.

2

u/webbc99 3d ago

It was my most used weapon in D1, but it kinda sucks in D2. It will need an absolutely perfect roll to be able to compete with stuff like Eyasluna.

1

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 1d ago

Yeah, I missed the heyday in D1 when it was a Playstation Exclusive. From what I understand, by the time it made it to Xbox it wasn't the same. It has forever been a gun that feels good to me, but I just cant make it do what I want.

2

u/Viper_Visionary 3d ago

They really should have had him sell a red border Hawkmoon for like 100 strange coins, if any exotic deserved to be cratable it was that.

1

u/cf318 3d ago

IDK, Rex in comp today was amazingly enhanced with his…..

40

u/MrCounterSnipe 4d ago

Godroll BotA at Xür is crazy

11

u/toastSensei 4d ago

Whoa. Indeed. My edition moved those class stat points to Melee tho. Grr.

11

u/toastSensei 4d ago

Ah, figured out why I was seeing that...PSA for anyone following along...I looked at Xur via DIM, lat character used was titan with ghost mod set for a melee build, so DIM was showing all those class points moved over to melee. I loaded in my warlock with ghost mod set to class, and got the roll as advertised above. Whew. Very nice roll.

3

u/sdlucas 4d ago

What makes it a godroll?

15

u/120GU3 4d ago

Class, Weapons, and Super spikes, all good stats for the typical Assembler DPS use case; Gunner or Powerhouse archetypes would also be good depending on how you want to prioritize your stats.

4

u/MrCounterSnipe 4d ago

BotA is great for raid team damage, you want high weapons for you and 100 super and class to pop Well or your Rift and make your whole team happy with +35% Damage up. This is one of two best possible rolls for that (the other being class+weap+super tertiary)

17

u/eh8904 4d ago

Sailspy Pitchglass if you like your LFR model really spiky (worth crafting if you've got nothing better to do)

2

u/Artaxeus 3d ago

Get 5 pieces right, to be able to craft?

9

u/Gktindall 4d ago

Mannnnn more Bushido? My titan is crying out for swordmaster

3

u/Dependent_Type4092 4d ago

Bushido for weeks now... grrrrrr

2

u/AqueleMalucoLa 4d ago

Do you know about that bug (?) that consists in farming master lost sectors?

I'm pretty sure you can get the swordmaster armor that way

5

u/Gktindall 4d ago

I do know about it. Unfortunately you cannot get swordmaster this way. It's only Techsec, Smoke Jumper, and Ferropotent.

The only guaranteed way to get swordmaster is if Xur brings it or by focusing via Zavala

1

u/AqueleMalucoLa 4d ago

Shii, my bad. Got things mixed up.

1

u/HypeTime 4d ago

Cant it drop from Banshee as well?

1

u/Artaxeus 3d ago edited 3d ago

Do master lost sectors with full engrams and the drops go to the postmaster. When you go back to pick them up it replaces the normal drops with world loot pool drops. 
Master lost sectors drop a teir 5. 

Does that mean above quote is inaccurate and I shouldn't waste my time doing it?

Source.

1

u/AqueleMalucoLa 3d ago

It is correct.

If you do that you have a chance of getting the Smoke Jumper, Ferropotent, and Techsec armor sets.

0

u/maltrab 4d ago

Can confirm that you can

1

u/Skreamie My ToO team always let me down 4d ago

No Vanguard Engrams?

1

u/Gktindall 4d ago

Takes too long to farm out one engram unfortunately.

Especially since it always decrypts with health stat

2

u/Skreamie My ToO team always let me down 4d ago

Ah thats unfortunate, I got lucky with my ghost mod recently. Found I didnt have a T5 and luckily had some engrams I hadn't used. Got the 4. Here's hoping you get it soon, brother.

1

u/Gktindall 4d ago

Me too! I just need a helmet and boots for my 4 piece

8

u/SpeedWeed_25 4d ago

Still no Throne Cleaver 😔

7

u/Zorak9379 Warlock 4d ago

I am out here begging for a class sword of any kind

4

u/SpeedWeed_25 4d ago

Honestly, I'd not bother with Death's Razor, Falling Guillotine is superior in all regards

4

u/Zorak9379 Warlock 4d ago

I mean, I'm probably not going to use any of them

1

u/Artaxeus 3d ago

Falling Guillotine is superior in all regards

Which perks are considered the best these days? Worth grinding for?

1

u/BareFox 2d ago

For damage go for Vorpal or Frenzy in the first column and Bait and Switch, Whirlwind Blade or Elemental Honing in the second. Or maybe Surrounded but that's more situational!

For more utility purposes you should probably go for Attrition Orbs and Eager Edge. Honestly the thing is juiced to the gills with great perks nowadays so probably any Tier 5 drop of it will be good haha

1

u/SplashDmgEnthusiast 4d ago

At least they can sometimes drop from the engrams, I've been spending all my Strange Coins on the weapon engram for probably a month now. Trying to finish Death's Razor and Goldtusk personally, we'll get there some day!

22

u/Comfortable_Fly6046 4d ago

Fighting Lion catalyst…my own small version of hell doing that 😂

2

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 4d ago

It is a chore for sure, but more fun than other underwhelming exotics. You just yeet grenades all day, like a Junkrat with only 1 in the chamber. It does teach you how to time the trigger to manually explode grenades, which being able to do so while moving around and double jumping is a skill in and of itself that is worth at least trying out.

4

u/Codzmcgodz 4d ago

I just completed it on stasis titan using FL instead of icebreaker. Takes awhile but it gets completed eventually. Don’t have to worry about timing your shots lol

2

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 4d ago

I would make a joke about actually playing the game with the exotics vs brute forcing the catalyst in a boring farm, but man did using Loadstar with a Shinobu's Vow build to complete the catalyst suuuuuuck. Takes away from grenades obviously, but it was so much slower at ad clearing and pretty much everything.

2

u/DiemCarpePine 3d ago

Should have done Mask of Bakris.

1

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 1d ago

I already had an arc autorifle in that build, and spend most of the time throwing grenades or firing off special/heavy in between. It just slotted in nicely and I only used a primary every so often. Just took forever, since grenades are my main focus, but it fit the build so I dealt with it in general content.

2

u/Comfortable_Fly6046 4d ago

That’s true, it was just the 1000 kills that was a bit much. Worst thing is I haven’t used it since 😂

2

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 4d ago

Bruh, who the hell makes these kill requirements? I pulled out a Devils Ruin the other day to finish a sidearm order, and figured I might as well start working on the catalyst. After realizing the actual number was in DIM, I looked at some of my remaining ones. Apparently somebody thinks that 300 kills for Devils Ruin is OK, but Fafnir needs 700! There were several out of whack looking requirements, like low kill numbers for primaries compared to specials and heavy, or no compensation for the ammo economy. Like, who looks at a primary, looks at a heavy weapon and goes, "yeah, they need at least 2x-3x kills on the heavy."

Edit: 1000 is wild. I think I didn't notice because I probably got that bad boy finished before I even earned my Mountaintop!

2

u/Comfortable_Fly6046 4d ago

Please don’t mention Fafnir, I’m only just getting over that one!

2

u/TurquoiseLuck 3d ago

I did Faf while grinding out Renegades and Frontiers. It does an AOE explosion around you if you hold down reload, so I'd just go use that whenever I got more ammo

1

u/puanonymou5 Team Cat (Cozmo23) // Dave Meowthews 1d ago

That is very good to know, I will definitely be using that when working on it. Makes more traditional methods of a bunch of ads more viable. Its one of the few left to finish, but that is probably lowest on my list, as at least Salvations Grip can be a fun grind.

2

u/UUDDLRLRBAstard 3d ago

1000 kills is 333 group shots.

That’s how to use fighting lion. Now that it has volatile, it can’t take that long. Pair it with a blinding gl and the catalyst grind becomes cake.

u/Sentsu06 4d ago

WHERES MY COLDHEART CATALYST XUR?

9

u/Seeker80 Notorious Space Hobo 4d ago

Just got my bro back into D2 after he got tired of Helldivers. He's been gone since mid-Witch Queen. He's got to pick up that Lost Signal for sure, maybe Eremite too. They aren't top rolls, but just to get him one period.

13

u/Sweepy_time 4d ago

Pick up 5 of each in case he wants to craft it later if he saves up enough harmonizers

2

u/Seeker80 Notorious Space Hobo 4d ago

I would have him jump on that, but he won't have the Strange Coins. He just started up Sunday.

He didn't have any Chronologs to grab the Inbound Surveillance from Zavala before reset. I'm hoping he'll have some to unlock the Mint Retrograde from this week. The rocket sidearms & pulses are totally new to him, so I want to help him try those(we were big sidearm fans in D1).

2

u/GrimPhantom23 4d ago

Are you gonna recommend one of the Mint rolls with slice to hum since current Zavala will be the easiest way to get one

1

u/Seeker80 Notorious Space Hobo 4d ago

Depends on how many Chronologs he's got. Can't remember which rolls will have Slice. He may not have earned enough to unlock them all. He's starting from zero this week.

2

u/GrimPhantom23 4d ago

Idk how many chronologs it takes but 3, 4, and 5 have slice. And then 4 and 5 are near identical with the only real difference being one has Bait and Switch as a damage perk and the other has elemental honing

2

u/Seeker80 Notorious Space Hobo 3d ago

We've got a little time tomorrow to get together, so I'll see about helping him earn both some Strange Coins & Chronologs.

Strangely, he also missed out on the Black Armory the first time. He was playing, just didn't want to run the forges for some reason. So I'll pull him into some Arena Ops and see what he can get from there.

2

u/Seeker80 Notorious Space Hobo 2d ago

Good times yesterday.

We got him both Punching Out rolls from the Vanguard Alerts. That also got him chronologs to unlock Mint Retrograde, which he loves now. Showed him how to get a Returned Memory from the kiosk. That's a first rocket pulse and rocket sidearm.

Got him to attune for Blast Furnace in Arena Ops. That was his first Kinetic Tremors weapon, so he's enjoying that too.

We ran distortions in the Cosmodrome and got him nearly a full set of Seventh Seraph armor. He mains Titan and liked Behemoth before, so I set him up with the crystal spam build.

Lastly, I got him to Xûr for Lost Signal, his first area denial frame. He was a big Witherhoard fan back when it was new, ao he's enjoying that legendary take on it.

All this to get him a good start for grinding stuff out when I can't play with him.

2

u/GrimPhantom23 19h ago

Glad to hear he's having fun. You set him up with the Slayer Baron artifact?

2

u/Seeker80 Notorious Space Hobo 2h ago

I...forgot. Didn't cover artifacts. We got cut short, and I had been too busy making sure he knew about the new systems. Like turning in the daily objectives, the weekly arsenal, how to do distortions and the 'Strange Signal.' Ran out of time.

I had totally forgotten about the 'Returner' bonus stuff. He had that waiting for him too, so that helped a lot.

3

u/TheMagicStik 4d ago

If I stop getting exotic catalysts from the Exotic Orders does that mean I have no more left to earn or bad RNG?

6

u/MyDickIs3cm 4d ago

I believe that means you are out of them to earn through orders. Same boat for about the last 10. You still may have unobtained ones from raid/dungeons etc

2

u/urbanreflex 4d ago

You can check collections to see what catalysts you need from where. Sounds like you're done with the random drop ones.

u/SnooStrawberries9563 3d ago

Dear Xur... About that Relativism roll I've wasted so so many coins trying to get...

1

u/KingofBlah37 4d ago

Sure would be great if that BotA roll was what's available to me. On Hunter, I see Melee+Super+Weapons. On Titan, I see Melee+Grenade+Super. And on Warlock, I see Grenade+Super+Class. Why do I not see the roll that's listed here?

u/CarnivalForever 4d ago

Change the focus stats on your ghost mod

u/Calamity_Crush We're in a calamity crush! 4d ago

Check your ghost mod for armor focus type and adjust accordingly.
