Xur's inventory this week includes two of the rarer Destiny 2 Exotics, Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale, two weapons that were previously available from seasonal quests and challenging missions. While Xur has other Exotic gear for sale--such as Sunshot and Lucky Pants--these two items are well worth acquiring.

This week's roll of Dead Man's Tale has the Vorpal Weapon perk, which increases damage against bosses and Guardians using their Super abilities, while the Hawkmoon on offer is equipped with Eye of the Storm.

That's a hefty price to pay for each weapon, let alone both. You'll essentially need the maximum amount of Glimmer that you can hold, a sizable number of Legendary Shards,
