Xûr, Destiny 2’s most beloved squid-faced peddler and mysterious Agent of the Nine, appears every weekend to sell Exotic items and Legendary weapons to guardians all over Sol in Destiny 2.
He doesn’t have his own kiosk somewhere where you can buy potentially fishy goods, even if you see him on Eternity looking over the Dares of Eternity. Instead, he appears in one of his three favorite locations every weekend, showing up at reset on Friday and disappearing with the weekly reset.
Here’s everything you need to know about Xûr and his location in Destiny 2 this week.
Where is Xur located today? (April 9 to 16, 2024)
Location: The Tower
From the Watcher’s Grave landing zone, look straight ahead of where you spawn to find a tree. Xûr will be on top of it, as indicated by the pile of sparrows at the tree’s feet.
What is Xur selling today? (April 6 to 9)
Here’s what Xur has for sale in his Exotic shop this weekend.
| Exotic Weapon | Hard Light Void auto rifle; changes elements |
| Hunter Exotic | Lucky Raspberry Base stats: 64 (Mobility spike) |
| Titan Exotic | One-Eyed Mask Base stats: 67 (High Mobility) |
| Warlock Exotic | Getaway Artist Base stats: 66 (High Recovery, Discipline) |
| Legendary Weapons | Honor’s Edge (Arc sword): Relentless Strikes, Shattering Blade Whispering Slab (Kinetic bow): Archer’s Tempo, Swashbuckler The Deicide (Void shotgun): Slideshot, One-Two Punch Thoughtless (Stasis sniper): Firmly Planted, Firing Line Drang (Baroque) (Solar sidearm): Moving Target, Turnabout Outlast (Solar pulse rifle): Keep Away, Opening Shot Eternity’s Edge (Solar sword, Warlock): Energy Transfer, Counterattack Crown-Splitter (Void sword, Titan): Relentless Strikes, Counterattack Quickfang (Void sword, Hunter): Tireless Blade, Flash Counter |
| Legendary Armor | Lost Pacific Armor (Year One, destination drop on Titan) |
Xur’s inventory is bringing a mixed bag of goodies this week. Warlocks can insta-buy those Getaway Artist gloves if they don’t have one, since they spike in the right places. Titans may skip the One-Eyed Mask this week due to stat distribution, and Hunters are bound to skip Lucky Raspberry in favor of better Exotics.
His weapons aren’t super special, either. Outlast has a good PvP roll, and despite its terrible traits, it may be worth buying a Drang (Baroque) if you’re willing to spend a Deepsight Harmonizer on it. Class swords are cool, though you can get different versions of them through the War Table at the H.E.L.M. (if you own Season of Defiance).
Lastly, Hard Light is a decent Exotic that had more use in the days of the (fortunately defunct) Match Game modifier, but can still work well in the meta if you use it properly.
Xenology Quest: What is it?
In addition to his regular inventory, Xur also carries a quest called Xenology, which awards players with an Exotic Cipher after completing its requirements. It’s a straightforward mission, but it can be time-consuming.
To finish Xenology, players must complete 21 strikes or win 21 matches in Crucible and/or Gambit. Progress moves faster by doing those activities with clanmates or at higher difficulties. The mission awards one Exotic Cipher and doesn’t have to be completed within the same week of obtaining it—although you can’t turn it in and get another shot at the quest in the same week.
A big pain point with the Xenology quest, however, is that it only takes ritual activities into account, and these activities have gotten relatively stale for veterans over the past few years. Players have suggested this mission should also count for seasonal activities, which have more incentive. We’re undoubtedly far more prone to running those than to dive into a Strike or a Crucible match, for instance.
