Where Is Xur Today? (August 23-27) Destiny 2 Exotic Items And Xur Location Guide

Xur has landed in Destiny 2, bringing with him a fresh selection of Exotic weapons and armor. There are also only a few more days to get your Solstice armor pieces, and next week will see the launch of Act 3 in Episode: Echoes, so now might be a good time to spend some Strange Coins. Alternatively, you might want to spend them on the Exotic class items Xur has in stock this week. Here’s where Xur is this week, and what he has for sale.This week, Xur is offering the Exotic weapon catalysts for Trinity Ghoul and Fighting Lion, and for Exotic armor, Hunters can pick up Wormhusk Crown; Titans can grab Doom Fang Pauldron; and Warlocks can buy Claws of Ahamkara. If you’re looking for Exotic weapons, Xur has Hawkmoon, Sweet Business, Wavesplitter, and The Colony this week.

Xur Location

Xur’s location in the Tower’s Bazaar

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

Essentialism / Solipsism / Stoicism (Exotic class item)

Solipsism

Exotic class items have been challenging to get inside Destiny 2 outside of the guaranteed drop in the Dual Destiny mission–which requires exactly two guardians to do–and a recent patch made the drop rate of these sought-after Exotics even worse in The Pale Heart. Fortunately, you can get random rolls of this Exotic, and there’s no limit on how many you can buy.The only catch? Xur will only sell these to you if you’ve completed Duality, as merely unlocking the mission isn’t enough. Xur won’t have Exotic class items every week, so you’ll want to farm for Strange Coins to have enough to buy multiple rolls.

Wormhusk Crown (Exotic Hunter helmet)

Wormhusk Crown

Wormhusk Crown works very nicely in clutch moments during PvP matches, as dodging gives a small health and shield bump, and with the right build in PvE, it can be devastating when utilized properly. The stats on this roll aren’t the greatest, as while strength is pretty good, intellect, discipline, and recovery are very low. You can give this one a skip unless you have a rare version of it with even worse stats than this.

  • Mobility: 15
  • Resilience: 9
  • Recovery: 8
  • Discipline: 6
  • Intellect: 6
  • Strength: 28
  • Total: 62

Doom Fang Pauldron (Exotic Titan gauntlets)

Doom Fang Pauldron

This funky Exotic is designed for Titans who like to focus on their void abilities. Defeating targets with Void damage has a chance to grant an escalating bonus to damage with Void weapons, so you can pair this up with the Wavesplitter Xur is offering to dish out some lethal power. It also has a few extra perks related to Void melee and Super abilities, so this is a great Exotic for Titan Void-specialists. The stats on this roll are very weird, but it can potentially work nicely if you’re looking to specialize further in charging up your Super thanks to the high intellect stat. Recovery is also decent, but you’ll need to mod your discipline and resilience stats.

  • Mobility: 12
  • Resilience: 8
  • Recovery: 15
  • Discipline: 2
  • Intellect: 24
  • Strength: 7
  • Total: 68

Claws of Ahamkara (Exotic Warlock gauntlets)

It’s debatable how useful an extra melee charge is, but the nice thing with Claws of Ahamkara is that you can spawn an Orb of Power when you land a final charged melee blow on an enemy. This should work quite nicely with a Strand or Prismatic subclass–Arcane Needle on its own has three charges–and the right build will allow you to become Radiant when picking up those orbs. While mobility is a little too high and intellect is quite low, the rest of the stats are nicely balanced, so this is worth grabbing.

  • Mobility: 10
  • Resilience: 12
  • Recovery: 12
  • Discipline: 14
  • Intellect: 6
  • Strength: 11
  • Total: 65

Exotic Weapon Catalysts

Trinity Ghoul (Exotic bow)

Forked Lightning: Lightning Rod now triggers from any Arc damage final blow.

Fighting Lion (Exotic grenade launcher)

Improved stats: boosts stability and reload speed.

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.Destiny 2: The Final Shape – Episode: Echoes Season Pass Gear And ExoticsSee More
