Everyone's favorite hoarder, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

Where Is Xûr Today?

Xûr's location can be found at The Tower on May 27 through May 31. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. You'll find ol' snake-face chilling near the stairs at the back of the Hangar area.

What's Xûr Selling Today?

Xûr has at least one good find this week. Check out this exotic gear!

Exotic Engram

The Colony - Exotic Grenade Launcher

Wormhusk Crown - Exotic Hunter Helmet

• 17 Mobility
• 6 Resilience
• 7 Recovery
• 9 Discipline
• 11 Intellect
• 10 Strength
• Total: 60

Heart of Inmost Light - Exotic Titan Chest Armor

• 4 Mobility
• 29 Resilience
• 2 Recovery
• 8 Discipline
• 9 Intellect
• 12 Strength
• Total: 64

Karnstein Armlets - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets

• 22 Mobility
• 7 Resilience
• 3 Recovery
• 7 Discipline
• 2 Intellect
• 21 Strength
• Total: 62

The Titan chest piece, Heart of Inmost Light, isn't my favorite exotic in the world, but the roll this week is undeniably spiky in a major way, especially with the importance of Resilience in the current season. Pick it up just in case it ever becomes good if for no other reason. The Warlock Karnstein Armlets are especially good gloves for the current season and this is a pretty spiky roll that could work well with some Warlock builds, so I'd recommend picking that up as well.

Exotic Weapons

Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon

• Paracausal Shot
• Fluted Barrel
• Alloy Magazine
• Moving Target
• Heavy Grip

Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle

• Cranial Spike
• Arrowhead Brake
• Steady Rounds
• Moving Target
• Composite Stock

Neither of these weapons has a particularly incredible roll this week, so I'd recommend waiting for better rolls unless for some reason you still don't have one or both in your collections.

Legendary Weapons

Long Shadow - Sniper Rifle

• ATD Raptor/ZTA Scout
• Tactical MAg/Alloy Mag
• Hip-Fire Grip
• Explosive Payload
• Stability Masterwork

Seventh Seraph Saw - Machine Gun

• Fluted Barrel/Full Bore
• Appended Mag/Light Mag
• Field Prep
• Firing Line
• Reload Speed Masterwork

Seventh Seraph SI-2 - Sidearm

• Arrowhead Brake/Full Bore
• Extended Mag/Flared Magwell
• Hip-Fire Grip
• Snapshot Sights
• Range Masterwork

Whispering Slab - Combat Bow

• Agile Bowstring/Natural String
• Carbon Arrow Shaft/Fiberglass Arrow Shaft
• Archer's Tempo
• Demolitionist
• Accuracy Masterwork

Widow's Bite - Sniper Rifle

• Arrowhead Brake/Corkscrew Rifling
• Alloy Magazine/Flared Magwell
• Firmly Planted
• Eye of the Storm
• Range Masterwork

Royal Entry - Rocket Launcher

• Countermass/Quick Launch
• Black Powder/High-Velocity Rounds
• Field Prep
• Unrelenting
• Velocity Masterwork

Eternal Blazon - Scout Rifle

• Signal MS5/Jolt PS
• Extended Mag/Alloy Magazine
• Full Auto Trigger System
• Distruption Break
• Stability Masterwork

The highlights for me this week are the Seventh Seraph Saw, which has a killer combo of Field Prep and Firing Line that works well for a machine gun, and the Seventh Seraph SI-2 sidearm with an awesome PvP-focused set of perks. Everything else is either just okay, or completely laughable, especially that trash-tier Long Shadow roll.

Hunters are getting a lot of love this week and not just from their ridiculous Solar 3.0 builds. The guantlets and chest armor this week are especially delightful, so pick them up if they pair well with your new fire-based build.

That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! How are you enjoying the Season of the Haunted so far? Let me know in the comments! For more on Destiny, check out some of the new weapons and gear you can find in The Witch Queen and read about how Sony's purchase of Bungie fits into its larger plans.

WB Montreal has responded to criticism that Batgirl's official biography for Gotham Knights is a harmful trope of disabled people, and has made adjustments to her description accordingly.

In a Discord Q&A, as reported by Eurogamer, Gotham Knights developers acknowledged the controversy around Barbara Gordon, whose biography was published to the game's website recently. The initial criticism of her backstory centered on her ending up in a wheelchair after an unspecified "face-off" but returning to "active duty" as Batgirl following training.

While it's unclear what her injury in Gotham Knights entails, in the comics, Barbara is shot in the spine, and many fans pointed out that overcoming a disability through sheer training and determination is an inaccurate and harmful trope throughout media.

During the Q&A, however, creative director Patrick Redding said that the Gotham Knights team "worked with the awesome folks at AbleGamers to learn about different types of spinal injuries and the potential for someone to regain mobility."

He then noted that her biography on the official website has since been adjusted to read, "With extensive training and rehabilitation, she recovered from her wounds, and returned to active duty as Batgirl." Additionally, he clarified that the specifics of her injury in Gotham Knights would differ from the comics, and that she had undergone multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and pain management. She also wears clothing with "back bracing integrated," and some of her rehabilitation process will be depicted in Gotham Knights itself.

Gotham Knights is headed to PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC on October 25, but will skip PS4 and Xbox One. It's set in a different universe from the Arkhan games, and includes a combat system specifically designed for co-op.

Much like Nintendo's other online-heavy games on Nintendo Switch, like Splatoon 2, Nintendo Switch Sports, and Arms, the upcoming Mario Strikers: Battle League is getting a free demo with limited time slots for players to try out the action online.

From June 3 to June 5, you'll be able to try out Quick Battle online multiplayer with friends or strangers across the globe. The times are as follows:

Friday, June 3

• 8:00-9:00pm PT/04:00 - 05:00 BST

Saturday, June 4

• 4:00-5:00am PT/12:00 - 13:00 BST
• 12:00-1:00pm PT/20:00 - 21:00 BST
• 8:00-9:00pm PT/4:00 - 5:00 BST

Sunday, June 5

• 4:00-5:00am PT/12:00 - 13:00 BST
• 12:00-1:00pm PT/20:00 - 21:00 BST

The demo is already available to download now for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. While you can't play any online matches outside of the specified windows, you can play the offline training exercises starting today to learn the controls and techniques in the game.

Nintendo also revealed that Mario Strikers: Battle League will receive free post-launch updates that include new characters. This is similar to the approach seen in Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf Super Rush, where the roster was expanded for months after launch.

On release day, the Battle League roster will have ten playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Waluigi, Rosalina, and Toad. This has led some longtime Strikers fans to note the absence of Daisy, who was a part of both previous Strikers games. Now there's hope that she could be added via post-launch support.

Mario Strikers: Battle League launches on Nintendo Switch on June 10. For more, you can check out our Mario Strikers preview.

No, sorry, we didn't talk about Star Wars because we did this in the past.

Instead! We talked about the Gollum video game, the TV show you've never heard of that you should probably give a try, the TV show you HAVE heard of and probably have given a try, and much more.

Oh, and Joe has an IMPORTANT new chocolate bar recommendation.

Sony has announced a summer State of Play broadcast – showing off upcoming PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 games – and it's coming very soon, on Thursday, June 2.

The State of Play will air for just under half an hour, starting at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern / 11pm UK (that's June 3 at 8am AEST).

The show promises reveals from Sony's third-party partners and "a sneak peek at several games in development for PlayStation VR2". It doesn't sound as though PlayStation first-party exclusives will be a huge part of this particular broadcast.

State of Play returns next week! Tune in live at 3pm PT on June 2 for reveals, announcements, and more: https://t.co/3lqi9GL9VZ pic.twitter.com/NLLTAgvgLY

— PlayStation (@PlayStation) May 27, 2022

It's worth noting that Sony has recently distinguished between its State of Play broadcasts – shorter broadcasts, with announcements often grouped along a theme – and its PlayStation Showcase event.

The digital Showcase replaced what used to Sony's in-person E3 conference, typically its biggest and most notable reveal of upcoming games and announcements. Last year, Sony waited until September for its full Showcase, which included the first gameplay of God of War: Ragnarok, teases for Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine games, a Knights of the Old Republic remake, and much more.
