Where Is Xur Today? (August 9-13) Destiny 2 Exotic Items And Xur Location Guide

Xur has arrived in Destiny 2, bringing a fresh selection of new Exotic and Legendardy-class gear. With the start of Solstice this week, it’s worth visiting the arms dealer to see what he has for sale, especially if he has an Exotic weapons catalyst that you might not have unlocked yet. Here’s where Xur is this week, and what he has for sale.

This week, Xur is offering the Exotic weapon catalysts for Hard Light and The Wardcliff Coil, and for Exotic armor, Hunters can pick up Raiju’s Harness; Titans can grab Mk. 44 Stand Asides; and Warlocks can buy Getaway Artist.

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

Mk. 44 Stand Asides (Exotic Titan leg armor)

This set of Titan leg armor pops up frequently in Xur’s inventory, and if you’ve missed out on them, they give your Guardian some nice buffs when they sprint at full health and use a charged melee attack. This roll isn’t too bad, as you’re getting a nice spread of recovery, strength, and discipline, although resilience will need to be enhanced with an armor mod. A pretty decent Exotic to pick up this week if you’re planning to do some PvP activities specifically.

• Mobility: 13
• Resilience: 8
• Recovery: 14
• Discipline: 14
• Intellect: 2
• Strength: 14
• Total: 65

Raiju’s Harness (Exotic Hunter chest armor)

One of the best Exotic pieces for Hunters who enjoy using their Arc Staff Super, Raiju’s Harness boosts Arc weapon damage, consumes less energy when not attacking, and can create a blinding explosion when the Super is deactivated early. The stats on this roll aren’t great, as you’re getting poor resilience and recovery, and average discipline and strength at best. We’ve seen worse, but we’ve also seen much better, so grab it only if this is better than what you already have.

• Mobility: 20
• Resilience: 6
• Recovery: 6
• Discipline: 10
• Intellect: 11
• Strength: 9
• Total: 62

Getaway Artist (Exotic Warlock gauntlets)

Getaway Artist has become very popular with Warlocks, as with the right Prism build, you can get both an Arc Soul sentry and a Stasis Turret. Pair it with an Ergo Sum sword that has the Riskrunner perk, and you’ll melt through enemies very easily. This is a fairly balanced roll of the Exotic, with intellect being the only disappointment here. If your current Getaway Artist gauntlets are lacking in certain categories, this one is worth picking up for marginally better stats overall.

• Mobility: 11
• Resilience: 11
• Recovery: 11
• Discipline: 14
• Intellect: 2
• Strength: 12
• Total: 61

Exotic Weapon Catalysts

Hard Light (Exotic auto rifle)

Improved stats: boosts stability and reload speed.

The Wardcliff Coil (Exotic rocket launcher)

Improved stats: boosts stability and reload speed.

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.
