It’s Friday again, Guardians, which means it’s time for the weekly visit from everyone’s favorite mysterious Exotic vendor, Xur! If you’re on the hunt for new Exotic gear or Legendary items to enhance your Guardian’s build in Destiny 2, tracking down Xur is your first mission. Especially with the ongoing Heresy episode, snagging powerful weapons and armor from Xur can give you the edge you need in the new Nether activity and beyond. This week, Xur is stocked with a fresh inventory, including Exotic weapon catalysts and some highly sought-after armor pieces. Let’s dive into where to find Xur and what treasures he’s offering this weekend.
Xur’s Location in Destiny 2 This Week
Finding Xur is always the first step in your weekend shopping spree. This week, Xur has chosen a familiar spot within the Tower.
To pinpoint Xur’s exact location:
- Spawn at the Tower. This is your central hub, and Xur is easily accessible from the main landing zone.
- Head to the Bazaar. From your spawn point, make a right turn past Banshee-44, the Gunsmith.
- Descend the stairs and proceed through the corridor leading towards the Bazaar area.
- Enter the Bazaar and immediately turn right.
- Look for the alleyway. Tucked away in a nearby alley, you’ll discover Xur in his usual alcove.
