The final week of The Dawning seasonal event has arrived as the community races to finish the final step of the Dawning Spirits mission. With a community-wide goal of 1,000,000,000 spirits earned during the event, players fell off of the projected trajectory and fell in danger of failing the limited time mode. Thankfully, Bungie made a change to triple the amount players could earn<\/a> and now the community is back on track with just days to go.<\/p>\n

In addition to The Dawning, the Deep Stone Crypt raid continues to get new challenges for players to overcome at each reset. This raid has also proven to be incredibly popular with players and has already saw major numbers of players attempting it since it arrives. In fact, one group called The Tracker Network has been able to compile the data to determine the most popular weapons used in the raid<\/a> with the exotic sword Lament leading all gear followed by the Heritage shotgun, Falling Guillotine sword, Xenopage, and Ikelos SMG leading the list.<\/p>\n

Even with a new year now here, Xur has kept his resolution to continue visiting\u00a0Destiny 2<\/a><\/em>\u00a0each and every weekend to\u00a0bring with him exotic items for purchase. Follow this guide for his location, news on his exotic cypher quest, as well as a review of what he’s currently selling for the weekend of\u00a0January 1,\u00a02021.<\/p>\n

Over this weekend, players should head to Watcher’s Grave on Nessus to find the merchant up the massive tree towards the back of the zone.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

While Xur’s role is essentially the same as it was prior to the Beyond Light expansion, the exotic merchant\u00a0also has weekly quests that players can acquire to unlock an exotic cypher. Not only are these required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary to acquire legacy exotic gear from the new kiosk<\/a>.\u00a0Players 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.<\/p>\n

Other than that, here are Xur’s three gear pieces this weekend:<\/p>\n

Astrocyte Verse\u00a0– Warlock helmet<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Astrocyte Verse helm is a solid movement focused exotic, similar to the St0MP-EE5 Hunter Boots or Lion Rampant Titan Boots.<\/p>\n

It’s exotic perk is called Move to Survive and it allows Blink Warlocks to use the jumping motion more frequently and at a further distance. In addition, weapons ready quicker out of Blink and the Radar remains active. Obviously, this isn’t going to be a top tier exotic piece for warlocks as there are much better combat oriented armor. Still, for players who like using blink and need a bit of help with\u00a0platforming focused activities in\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em><\/a>, this one is worth a look. The stat roll is pretty interesting on these as well considering it provides a massive boost to mobility, something which Warlocks are not known for typically. However, this comes at a cost to resilience and recovery which are extremely low.<\/p>\n

Void\u00a0Enhanced. Stat Values:<\/p>\n
