Everyone's favorite Exotic-selling Agent of the Nine, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your hands on 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 can be found at Watcher's Grave on Nessus this weekend from February 11-15. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Watcher's Grave. When you arrive, make for the red moss-covered tree straight ahead. Climb up the roots and you'll find Xûr waiting at the top.

What's Xûr Selling Today?

Xûr's got some interesting pieces this week. Nothing that's necessarily a "must-have," but still a good weapon that may see some play in The Witch Queen and decent pieces of armor with spiky stats if you're lacking in certain areas.

Exotic Engram

Graviton Lance - Exotic Pulse Rifle

Lucky Raspberry - Exotic Hunter Chest

• 17 Mobility
• 15 Resilience
• 2 Recovery
• 16 Discipline
• 11 Intellect
• 2 Strength
• Total: 63

Mask of the Quiet One - Exotic Titan Helmet

• 15 Mobility
• 16 Resilience
• 2 Recovery
• 16 Discipline
• 7 Intellect
• 9 Strength
• Total: 65

Winter's Guile - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets

• 2 Mobility
• 2 Resilience
• 27 Recovery
• 2 Discipline
• 26 Intellect
• 2 Strength
• Total: 61

Graviton Lance is a fun gun worth picking up if you don't have one. Its Exotic perk Cosmology causes enemies to detonate upon death, creating Void projectiles that seek out other enemies. The result is a lot of chaos and a great add-clearing weapon. We already know Exotic primary weapons will be getting a 40% buff to red bar enemies in The Witch Queen, so Graviton Lance can definitely put in some work for you.

Aside from that, Xûr's Exotic armor isn't anything to write home about. The Warlock Gauntlets Winter's Guile has two incredible spikes in both Recovery and Intellect, but the Exotic armor itself doesn't see much use as Warlock melee builds aren't too common. Who knows, though, if that will change when The Witch Queen arrives as we're getting reworked Void 3.0 abilities, and Warlock seems to be the strongest of the bunch.

Legendary Weapons

Xûr's Legendary weapons this week include:

Gnawing Hunger - Auto Rifle

• Chambered Compensator/Full Bore
• Steady Rounds/Alloy Magazine
• Subsistence
• Demolitionist
• Handling Masterwork

The Last Dance - Sidearm

• Shortspec SAS/Tactic SAS/Farpoint SAS
• Appended Mag/Armor-Piercing Rounds
• Quickdraw
• Dragonfly
• Range Masterwork

Cold Denial - Pulse Rifle

• Corkscrew Rifling/Smallbore
• Appended Mag/Light Mag
• Graverobber
• Swashbuckler
• Stability Masterwork

Seventh Seraph CQC-12 - Shotgun

• Smallbore/Full Choke
• Tactical Mag/Light Mag
• Quickdraw
• Vorpal Weapon
• Handling Masterwork

IKELOS_SR_V1.0.2 - Sniper Rifle

• Hammer-Forged Rifling/Polygonal Rifling
• Tactical Mag/Steady Rounds
• No Distractions
• Multikill Clip
• Stability Masterwork

Temptation's Hook - Sword

• Hungry Edge/Jagged Edge/Tempered Edge
• Burst Guard/Enduring Guard
• Tireless Blade
• Vorpal Weapon
• Impact Masterwork

The Third Axiom - Pulse Rifle

• Arrowhead Brake/Smallbore
• Extended Mag/High-Caliber Rounds
• Hip-Fire Grip
• Unrelenting
• Handling Masterwork

The Gnawing Hunger roll is great for PvE with Subsistence and Demolitionist. Not to mention, it's still one of the best 600 RPM Auto Rifles in the game and is being removed from the world loot pool when The Witch Queen arrives, so this may be your last chance to snag one. If you're a PvP player, the Seventh Seraph CQC-12 Lightweight Frame Shotgun has been dominant in the Crucible lately, and while this isn't a "God roll", it's still decent with Quickdraw and Vorpal Weapon.

Hunter's only worthwhile piece of armor to grab this week is the Lost Pacific Mask which offers high Discipline and Recovery - two stats that are generally very good to spec into for most builds.

That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! We're less than two weeks away from the launch of The Witch Queen, and things couldn't be more exciting. For more on Destiny, check out some of the new weapons and gear coming to The Witch Queen and read about how Sony's purchase of Bungie fits into its larger plans.

This year's Call of Duty release will be a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare, Activision Blizzard announced today. It will be developed in tandem with a new Warzone release that will be "designed together from the ground up."

Call of Duty fans can be expect a "all-new playspace and a new sandbox mode" for Warzone 2. Both the Modern Warfare sequel and Warzone will be powered by a new engine.

Let’s start with a look ahead:
✅ COD 2022 is a sequel to MW 2019, and being designed with a new #Warzone experience (both led by @InfinityWard)
✅ A massive evolution of BR, with an all-new playspace and new sandbox mode
✅ A new engine powering both the new game and #Warzone

— Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) February 11, 2022

Development on both games will once again be led by Infinity Ward, which previously worked on Modern Warfare 2019 and Call of Duty: Warzone. Both games are among the most successful Call of Duty games ever made, with Warzone in particular becoming a major fixture of the battle royale scene.

The Call of Duty 2022 news was released as part of a community update that also includes info for Season 2 of Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone. Activision Blizzard is promising more than 30 improvements ahead of the next season's launch on February 14, including fixes to blockages in Modern Warfare's multiplayer.

The announcement comes amidst ongoing unionization efforts at Raven Software, a key support studio in the Call of Duty ecosystem. Earlier this year, Raven Software's QA engineers went on strike to draw attention to their cause.

The future of Call of Duty has also been a key question amid Xbox's recent Activision Blizzard acquisition. While Infinity Ward did not announce the platforms for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2022 or the new Warzone, Microsoft has promised that Activision Blizzard games will be released on PlayStation "beyond existing agreements," meaning that PS5 owners can expect to play this year's releases alongside their compatriots on Xbox Series X|S.

Today's announcement is a welcome refresh for Warzone in particular, which has dealt with everything from bugs to a cheating epidemic. When Call of Duty: Warzone was released in 2019, we called it an "enjoyable battle royale despite making some serious concessions to depth." Nevertheless, it was also "teeming with good ideas." Perhaps Warzone 2 will be an opportunity for Infinity Ward to make good on some of those ideas.

Infinity Ward has not yet announced a release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2022 or the new Warzone, but fans can likely expect them sometime in November.

Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and all of Netflix's other Marvel TV shows will no longer be available on the streaming service from the beginning of March.

IGN can verify that Netflix's Marvel TV shows are all now prefaced with a removal notice, which states that "this show is available until 1st March." This brief warning is presented at the beginning of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, leaving a window of just a few weeks before these titles are removed from the streamer.

IGN's screenshot (above) shows the pop-up message at the beginning of the first season of Marvel's Jessica Jones, on an episode titled "AKA Ladies Night," though no official announcement about the removal of the shows has been made by Netflix as of yet. As such, there has also been no word on where these shows might be heading next, if anywhere.

In 2013, Marvel and Netflix announced a deal that would create a mini Marvel universe on Netflix based on The Defenders. This included original shows starring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Later, a Punisher spinoff was also created and released on Netflix as well as a team-up series for The Defenders.

However, this deal effectively ended in 2019 when Netflix announced that it would be cancelling the remainder of its Marvel shows, possibly in light of the news that Marvel was pursuing its own original television programming, with shows like WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, on the then newly-announced Disney+ streaming service.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Spider-Man: No Way Home and the Hawkeye series.

Last year, Marvel regained the live-action rights to Jessica Jones and The Punisher from Netflix, meaning that all of the Marvel characters Netflix previously held the live-action rights to, including Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, reverted back to Marvel and opened the door for some of those characters to appear in MCU projects.

Just recently, Charlie Cox reprised his role as Matt Murdock for a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, while Vincent D'Onofrio made an appearance as Kingpin in the Disney+ show Hawkeye. There hasn't been any news concerning the return of other characters from Netflix's Marvel shows, but Cox believes there's more Daredevil and Kingpin in the MCU's future.

Halo's original composers are suing Microsoft over unpaid royalties for using their music in the upcoming Halo TV series.

Eurogamer reports that composers Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori are suing Microsoft, claiming they signed a contract with Microsoft that gives them 20% of profits for any use of their Halo music outside the games — such as in the Halo TV show, soundtrack sales, and so on.

O'Donnell said that while Microsoft pays them quarterly, they believe the amount doesn't represent what they're owed through the true contract.

O'Donnell told Eurogamer, "If this is 20%, then it doesn't seem like Microsoft is really making much money. So we would say, 'could you guys tell us what the numbers are?' And then they just wouldn't. But sure enough, four months later, you would get another little cheque, and just, 'here's your amount'."

Microsoft has stated that O'Donnell and Salvatori's Halo music were done as work-for-hire, meaning O'Donnell and Salvatori made the Halo music for Microsoft with Microsoft retaining the copyright.

Both parties will appear in a pre-trial for the case which is due to take place on May 9th.

Work for hire is a precedent where a creator, like O'Donnell and Salvatori, creates work for a company like Microsoft under contract, and Microsoft would ultimately own the copyright to that work. This is the same precedent that Marvel uses to claim characters created by comic writers while working for Marvel.

In the meantime, the Halo TV series is set to premiere on Paramount+ on March 24, 2022.

Three Siberian teenagers have been sentenced for plotting to destroy the Russian Government's Federal Security Service (FSB) building in Minecraft among other activities.

A Russian military court found the teens guilty of "undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities," The Moscow Times reported, with one sentenced to five years in a penal colony.

The other two teens were given three and four-year suspended sentences, though all three were arrested the same time, at 14-years-old, for posting political leaflets on their local FSB office.

The FSB searched their phones after the arrest and found videos of the teens making pyrotechnics and allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails, alongside their plot to blow up the virtual FSB building created in Minecraft.

Nikita Uvarov, the teen given a five-year sentence, told the court: "I had a desire to learn something new, I liked to learn something about physics, chemistry, biology, about various famous scientists; I also watched scientific and educational programs.

He added later: "I am not a terrorist. I am not guilty. I would just like to finish my studies, get an education and go somewhere far away from here, somewhere I don’t irritate anyone from the special services."
