Although Destiny 2 has entered a sort of content lull in the month of November, Bungie has a lot planned in the coming months. In fact, the first details for the big 30th Anniversary Update arrived this week, specifically covering all of the planned weapon changes. While fans will be getting new content, the December Destiny 2 update also represents a big mid-season evolution for both weapons and perks with changes coming to Bows, Shotguns, Sidearms, and a number of exotics like the Vex Mythoclast, Arbalest, Sleeper Simulant and plenty more.
In the meantime, the next iteration of Trials of Osiris also kicks off today, brining with it another weekend full of changes. This time around, Capture Zone makes its return, though the mode no longer rotates to give the losing side a location advantage. The flag will rotate between three neutral zones on the Endless Vale map and players will no longer gain super energy for capturing a zone as was the case last time.

Along with Trials is the weekend exotic gear merchant known as Xur. The salesman has once again made his return to Destiny 2 with a new set of Legendary and Exotic gear for purchase. Follow this guide for his most current weekend location, news on his exotic cypher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic gear he's brought for the weekend of November 12, 2021.
Where is Xur?
This weekend, players can find Xur on Nessus, hanging out on his usual massive tree branch.
From the Director, head to Nessus and load into Watcher's Grave. Run towards the back of the zone where a massive tree is found. Jump up until players find the huge branch where the merchant is hanging out.
Class Armor and Exotic Cypher
In Season of the Lost, Xur's role has expanded as the exotic merchant has weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they're necessary to acquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cypher by completing strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches. Gain bonus points for playing with clanmates or finishing more challenging activities.
With Season 15, Xur is now selling even more gear outside of his usual content. In addition to his normal exotic gear, Xur now has Legendary Weapons and Armor for sale in exchange for Legendary Shards and Glimmer. Better yet, the stat rolls are pretty solid on the Black Armor gear for this week.
Exotic Armor
Apotheosis Veil - Warlock helmet
The Apotheosis Veil is a solid support exotic that isn't dependent on subclass. It comes with the exotic perk Insatiable, which immediately regenerates the player's health, melee, grenade, and rift energy when activating their super. Nearby allies also recharge class abilities faster as well.
It's likely not great in all situations, but it could come in handy when playing difficult activities or even in competitive PvP modes. It may not replace the standard go to exotics, but could be worth a look for some players. Like the other gear this week, the stat roll isn't great and features a lower than usual total of 61.
Arc Enhanced. Stat Values:
Mobility +9
Resilience +9
Recovery +16
Discipline +13
Intellect +15
Strength +2
Knucklehead Radar - Hunter helmet
Hunters gets the Knucklehead Radar helmet this week, back nearly one month after it was originally on sale. The helm really lends itself to PvP modes in the Crucible thanks to the perk Upgraded Sensor Pack which enhances the player’s radar when crouched and keeps it on the screen when aiming down the sights.
