The second week of the Solstice of Heroes event in Destiny 2<\/em><\/strong> is in full swing as players continue to progress their special armor and defeat enemies in the EAZ. While the event itself isn’t without flaws, Bungie has thankfully corrected a number of issues with this week’s hot fix<\/a>. The big change is that the weekly EAZ challenges have not only been restored, but it should be issuing a powerful reward as expected. In addition a bug preventing Bright Dust from being awarded from Weekly and Repeatable Solstice bounties has also been corrected.<\/p>\n

However, this week also brought a ton of clarity with Bungie’s Content Vaulting plans as well. In it’s latest blog post, Bungie broke down all of the modes, content, maps, activities, and items being stored in the vault. The studio also answered a number of big questions such as exotic quests and gear tied to locations being vaulted. Thankfully, the studio is creating a new kiosk in The Tower<\/a> that exclusively houses legacy exotic items. Bungie hasn’t shared how players will be acquiring these items, but fans should expect more information soon.<\/p>\n

Until then, the weekly exotic merchant Xur has returned to the world of Destiny 2<\/em><\/a> for another few days. Follow this guide for his location as well as a review of what he’s currently selling for the weekend of\u00a0August 21, 2020.<\/p>\n

Over the next few days, players can find Xur hanging out in the Winding Cove of the European Dead Zone.<\/p>\n

Fast travel to the Winding Cove zone and immediately head towards the back where the Fallen typically patrol. Climb the cliffs back here to find Xur standing on a ledge not too far from a crashed ship.<\/p>\n

As he’s been doing for the past few weeks, Xur is\u00a0no longer selling collection rolled gear<\/a>.\u00a0The armor he now has features randomized stats and perks, which should revitalize player interest in what the merchant has each week.\u00a0In addition, players can use an Exotic Cypher to purchase a second fated engram from the merchant.<\/p>\n

Here are Xur’s three gear pieces this weekend:<\/p>\n

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

Unlike the other two items on sale this week, Warlocks are seeing one of the more rarely seen items with Xur this weekend. 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 platforming focused activities in Destiny 2<\/em><\/a>, this one is worth a look even with it’s okay stats roll.<\/p>\n

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