Where Is Xur Today? (April 14-18) – Destiny 2 Exotic Items And Xur Location Guide

The mysterious Agent of the Nine maintains his predictable schedule, appearing each weekend with exclusive gear for Destiny 2 guardians. Understanding his location pattern and optimal navigation saves valuable time during your limited shopping window.

Xur’s precise position within the Tower Hangar area.

This weekly cycle finds Xur positioned in The Tower‘s Hangar section. For optimal efficiency, begin from the Courtyard transmat zone rather than alternative entry points. Immediately turn left and descend the staircase to access the Hangar, then execute another left maneuver. Proceed directly to the northern perimeter where you’ll discover ascending stairs leading to an elevated catwalk structure – this is where the vendor awaits.

Pro Tip: Xur’s inventory refreshes at weekly reset on Tuesdays, but he only becomes available from Friday through Monday. Plan your visits accordingly to avoid missing time-sensitive acquisitions.

Common navigation errors include overshooting the catwalk entrance or attempting to reach the Hangar through incorrect pathways. The Courtyard approach consistently provides the most direct and reliable route to his current position.

Xur’s exotic arsenal this week centers around the distinctive Black Talon sword, a weapon category that many guardians overlook despite its substantial combat potential in both PvE and PvP scenarios.

The Black Talon represents one of Destiny 2’s few exotic swords, featuring the unique Crow’s Wings perk that unleashes long-range projectile attacks. This capability provides exceptional versatility, allowing guardians to engage targets at distances typically inaccessible to melee weapons.

• Exotic Engram – 97 Legendary Shards
• Black Talon – 29 Legendary Shards
• Shards of Galanor – 23 Legendary Shards
• Antaeus Wards – 23 Legendary Shards
• Verity’s Brow – 23 Legendary Shards

Strategic Insight: The Exotic Engram purchase becomes increasingly valuable for collectors missing numerous exotic pieces. However, veterans with near-complete collections may find better value in targeted armor acquisitions.

The Black Talon particularly shines in Gambit modes where its projectile can efficiently eliminate invading guardians or quickly dispatch high-value targets. Pair it with close-range weaponry to create a devastating close-quarters combat loadout.

Xur’s legendary weapon selection this week encompasses seven distinct firearms across multiple weapon categories, each featuring curated perk combinations that warrant careful evaluation.

Notable Standouts: The Brigand’s Law with Voltshot creates exceptional add-clear potential, while Planck’s Stride offers reliable heavy weapon performance with its Perpetual Motion and One for All synergy.

Acquisition Strategy: Focus on weapons complementing your current loadout gaps. The Firefright auto rifle provides solid kinetic performance, though its Hip-Fire Grip and Surrounded combination favors aggressive close-range combat styles.

Advanced players should evaluate these rolls against their existing arsenal, as many may already possess superior versions through seasonal activities or raid completions.

Each guardian class receives dedicated exotic armor pieces this week, with stat distributions that may significantly enhance specific playstyles and build configurations.

Hunter mains can acquire Shards of Galanor gauntlets, which dramatically improve Blade Barrage super regeneration when landing multiple knife impacts. This exotic becomes particularly potent in activities with dense enemy populations.

Titan players have access to Antaeus Wards leg armor, providing reflective shields during slide maneuvers. This defensive capability proves invaluable in competitive PvP environments where slide-shotgun tactics prevail.

Warlocks can obtain Verity’s Brow helmet, which enhances grenade energy regeneration for both you and allies when securing energy weapon final blows.

Build Integration Tips: Shards of Galanor synergizes exceptionally with solar subclass builds, while Verity’s Brow amplifies any grenade-focused configuration across all light subclasses.

Stat Evaluation: Always inspect the stat roll before purchasing, as exotic armor acquired from Xur features random stat distributions that may not always complement the exotic’s intended function.

The complete Wild Hunt armor collection remains available across all three character classes, with stat distributions that vary significantly between individual pieces.

Stat Analysis: The Warlock Wild Hunt Vestment stands out with 65 total stats, featuring excellent Discipline and Strength distributions perfect for ability-focused builds.

Optimization Strategy: Focus acquisition on pieces with spike distributions in your preferred stats. The Titan Wild Hunt Helm offers exceptional Recovery (22) for sustain-focused playstyles.

Masterwork Consideration: Legendary armor with total stats below 60 typically represent poor masterwork investments unless they feature perfect spike distributions for specific builds.

Class items (marks, bonds, cloaks) always display zero stats as they function purely for mod applications and cosmetic purposes.
