Lord Shaxx and his rise to power through revenge. The knowledge behind this central character is must-read for any Destiny 2 fan.
Lord Shaxx – Winning Through Vengance
“I am not a” supporter “of anything. Thanatology is only an excuse for insomnia and that the Ahamkara are for cheaters. I find Akatalipta’s belief that Darkness is misunderstood as pessimistic nihilism. Its opposite – Osiris’s position that Darkness must be understood – be misanthropic narcissism. But I will also take good ideas where I can get them. And the belief in Osiris and that Guardians’ minds and bodies can be sharpened when someone sharpens a sword is a good idea. You saw the results in the Crucible. Do I really need to say more?”
– Lord Shaxx
Lord Shaxx is the steward of the Crucible and a merchant of Crucible related items. Find him in the Tower. Near the Vanguard. However, in Destiny 2, it is located in the Courtyard, behind the Vaults. The Crucible Quartermaster, Article 99-40, assists him in his duties. He does not serve as a salesman in Destiny 2. Lord Shaxx also serves as the Crucible’s announcer. However, Lord Saladin Forge is the host of the Iron Banner.
Lord Saladin is an unforgettable NPC in Destiny 2, and there are a few things players should really know about him.
If you thought Saladin sounded weirdly familiar, you’ve probably heard his voice before! Keith Ferguson is voting not only Saladin from Destiny, but also Reaper from Overwatch!
There is a neat Easter egg that echoes this connection. In Destiny 2, earning the Medal We’ve Run Out of Medals by killing 20 Guardians in a single life will provide a unique voice line from Saladin himself. He will start screaming, “GIGI! GIN! for the player, a not-so-subtle reference to the iconic line that Reaper gives with his Overwatch ultimate.
Xur has returned to the Guardians’ backyard, and the Titans are lucky this week as they can purchase an exotic exotic from a Nine vendor.
Xur location, July 2, 2021
Destiny 2 players can find Xur in the Tower Hangar this week. If you don’t know the exact location, respawn in The Courtyard, open the map and place a waypoint on Amanda Holliday. Follow it and when you get to it, turn left and go straight towards the landing field. You will see Xura on the catwalk on the left.

Xur weapons and armour, July 2, 2021
The Huckleberry is definitely a worthy pickup truck if you don’t already have that exotic submachine gun. It’s fantastic for slashing down enemies and even in PvP, you’ll be shooting all the time and hardly ever reloading.
Knucklehead radar is an exotic agent for Hunters as many others excel in a variety of roles, but this one is great if you spend a lot of time aiming, meaning it’s a sniper’s best friend. The throw isn’t too bad either, with high mobility and intellect but very low recovery.
The Titans capture the Antaeus Wards, the faithful companion of the ape-shotgun. If you are playing Stasis in PvP, you can have a long slide combined with a short invulnerability up front with these bad boys, making it perfect for cleaning rooms. Moreover, the roll it has is absolutely amazing – an overall roll of 65 stats with 19 mobility, 13 regeneration, and 19 intellect. Keep in mind that Shotguns are about to be nerfed, and this playstyle may not be as powerful as before, but Antaeus will still be amazing if you can maneuver properly and build your playstyle around it.
Destiny 2 players can increase their Valor rank to brag about rights and rewards, so here are the point requirements and how to reset your rank.
How to collect Destiny 2 Ascendant Shards
If you already have the paid season pass, you’ll receive Shards of Ascension at season ranks 80, 85, and 94. Alternatively, you can also purchase shards from Banshee-44 or Ada-1.
Here’s the overall cost of each shard:
Note that the planetary materials required for these Shards are random and will change per day. If you’re still on the hunt, you’ll have several different options to unlock Shards of Ascension.
You can complete platinum runs in Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes, complete a flawless run in Trials of Osiris, or achieve 10,000 reputation with Zavala, Lord Shaxx, Vagabond, or Saint-14.
Once you’ve collected everything you need, simply return to the Lost Light Monument to collect the Last Word Hand Cannon. You can now use this weapon to inflict serious pain on your enemies.
