Where Is Xur Today? (August 2-6) Destiny 2 Exotic Items And Xur Location Guide

Where is Xur? That’s the question everyone (used) to ask on a Friday before Destiny 2: The Final Shape saw the roving arms dealer set up a new shop inside of the Tower’s Bazaar area. With a permanent base of operations, players don’t need to run around several planets looking for the Exotic weapons and armor salesman, and can instead spend time looking at his expanded selection of gear. Here’s where Xur is this week and what he has for sale.

This week, Xur is offering the Exotic weapon catalysts for Coldheart and The Colony, and for Exotic armor, Hunters can pick up Orpheus Rig; Titans can grab Heart of Inmost Light; and Warlocks can buy Sunbracers.

Xur Location

Spawn in at the Tower and hang a right past Banshee-44. Continue down the stairs, follow the corridor, and once you hit the Bazaar, turn right down the nearby alleyway. You’ll find Xur here in his dedicated alcove, ready to sell you his latest wares if you have enough Strange Coins in your pocket. Check out our how to get Strange Coins guide for details on earning this currency, which involves doing ritual activities.

Exotic Armor

Orpheus Rig (Exotic Hunter leg armor)

A pretty handy Exotic for Void Hunters, Orpheus Rig refunds ability energy for each target that is tethered by a Deadfall anchor and adds an additional shot to the Moebius Quiver. This isn’t a great roll of the Exotic as mobility gobbles up most of the available stat points, resulting in poor resilience and recovery. You probably have a better version of the Exotic in your arsenal, so feel free to give this one a skip.

• Mobility: 20
• Resilience: 6
• Recovery: 7
• Discipline: 15
• Intellect: 14
• Strength: 2
• Total: 64

Heart of Inmost Light (Exotic Titan chest armor)

No, you’re not seeing double: Xur really did offer this Exotic chest armor last week. Using an ability will improve your other abilities, so you’ll want to cycle through them as you activate them, making this a good Exotic for Prismatic builds. This is a better roll than last week’s version of the Exotic, as you’re getting chunky resilience, a really good strength stat, and decent numbers for recovery and discipline. It’s worth picking up, especially if you gave last week’s Exotic a miss.

• Mobility: 4
• Resilience: 19
• Recovery: 11
• Discipline: 10
• Intellect: 6
• Strength: 15
• Total: 65

Sunbracers (Exotic Warlock gauntlets)

Sunbracers aren’t as good as they used to be, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad. Increased solar grenade duration is always good, and when the armor perk kicks in, you can get up to four of these grenades out and make the battlefield look like a volcanic eruption. The stats are well-balanced across the board, although mobility could have been lower and the essential discipline stat will need to be buffed. Not a bad roll, and one that you can work with when you’re doing some buildcrafting.

• Mobility: 11
• Resilience: 12
• Recovery: 11
• Discipline: 6
• Intellect: 10
• Strength: 17
• Total: 67

Exotic Weapon Catalysts

Coldheart (Exotic trace rifle)

Improved stats: boosts stability and reload speed.

The Colony (Exotic heavy grenade launcher)

Increased ammo reserves.

Legendary Armor

Legendary Weapons

Xur has changed how he conducts business in The Final Shape. For his rotating selection of Exotic weapon catalysts, he’ll sell two each week. His selection will contain older catalysts that are found through random drops prior to The Witch Queen expansion, and he will not have catalysts associated with quests, Exotic missions, Season Pass Exotics, campaign Exotics, preorder Exotics, raid Exotics, or dungeon Exotics.

Xur will also have three random Exotic weapons available for sale, in addition to Hawkmoon. Xur will still sell Legendary armor and weapons, as well as engrams that can yield any item in those pools at random. Like other vendors, Xur also has his own reputation track now and the more you spend, the more reputation rewards you’ll earn, including an Exotic Cipher after every rank reset.

Additionally, Xur’s loyalty program kicks in after you spend 47 Strange Coins, granting you a Strange Favor buff. This lasts for 11 days and can be stacked up to three times–once per week–giving you a chance to earn a bonus Strange Coin from activities that reward you with the currency. Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET each Friday.
