Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for August 25-29

By | August 25, 2023

The pile of squid ink spaghetti, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week’s reset. If you’re looking to get you some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he’s got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We’ve rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

Where Is Xûr Today?

Xûr’s location can be found at The Tower on August 25 through August 29. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. Hang a left when entering the hangar and you’ll come face-to-face with space Amazon.com.

Xûr can be found in the Hangar of The Tower.

Despite some high stat totals for many of these pieces, none of them have favorable distributions, so probably not a good week to buy something, unfortunately.

Holdfast Cloak

Like Warlocks, Hunters have plenty of good options to choose from! Any of these could do well in your collection. If you’re a Hunter who cares about Mobility, then the boots are the best option. Otherwise, I’d suggest the helmet.

That’s a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! What do you think of Season of the Witch so far? Let us know in the comments! For more on Destiny, check out our review of Destiny 2: Lightfall and read about how Sony’s purchase of Bungie fits into its larger plans.
