Where Is Xur Today? (August 26-30) Destiny 2 Xur Location And Exotic Items Guide

Season of Plunder brings fresh exotic opportunities as Xur returns with his coveted inventory for Guardians seeking to enhance their arsenal. The mysterious Agent of the Nine offers premium gear in exchange for Legendary Shards, providing players with powerful tools for tackling the newly reintroduced King’s Fall raid.

Location Update: Xur has established his temporary outpost within the Tower’s Hangar section. Navigate from the Courtyard transmat zone by descending the stairs to your left, then taking another immediate left turn. Proceed to the northern perimeter where a staircase ascends to a catwalk – this is where you’ll find the elusive merchant awaiting your visit.

Xur maintains a consistent weekend presence in Destiny 2, materializing precisely at the Friday daily reset (10 AM PT / 1 PM ET). His positioning remains deliberately unmarked on destination maps, creating a weekly scavenger hunt for veteran and new Guardians alike. The vendor rotates between three established locations: Tower Hangar, Watcher’s Grave on Nessus, and Winding Cove in the EDZ.

Xur’s location in the Tower.

Xur presents Skyburner’s Oath as this weekend’s featured exotic weapon, available for 29 Legendary Shards. This scout rifle carries distinct tactical advantages against Cabal opponents, featuring rounds that naturally penetrate Phalanx shields and deal bonus damage to the militaristic species.

The weapon’s unique trajectory system allows for both precision aiming when sighted and arcing explosive rounds when fired from the hip. This dual-mode functionality makes it exceptionally versatile in various combat scenarios, particularly during Cabal-heavy activities like the Leviathan or Proving Grounds strikes.

Advanced players should note that Skyburner’s Oath synergizes exceptionally well with solar-based builds and mods. The explosive hip-fire mode can trigger warmind cells with the appropriate mods, while the shield penetration capability remains invaluable in Grandmaster Nightfalls featuring Cabal champions.

It’s a Destiny 2 original, but it’s still fantastic for when you need to deal with Cabal.

Hunter – Raiju’s Harness (23 Legendary Shards): This chest armor fundamentally alters Arc Staff super behavior, allowing Hunters to deactivate their super early to conserve energy. The strategic implications are significant – you can deploy your super for brief, high-impact engagements rather than committing to the full duration.

Raiju’s Harness transforms Arc Staff into a precision tool rather than a sustained assault. Expert Hunters can now use their super for specific threat elimination while preserving energy for subsequent encounters. The exotic also provides damage resistance during super activation, enhancing survivability during critical moments.

Raiju’s Harness is great for the Hunter that knows when and where to use their Arc super.

Titan – Eternal Warrior (23 Legendary Shards): This helmet provides an immediate overshield upon Fist of Havoc activation, dramatically improving survivability during super initiation. The protection persists throughout the super duration, making it particularly valuable in high-difficulty content where activation animation vulnerability often proves fatal.

Warlock – Aeon Soul (23 Legendary Shards): These gauntlets excel in cooperative play through the Aeon Cult mod system. When matched with teammates using complementary Aeon gear, they generate ability energy and special ammo for your fireteam, transforming you into a support powerhouse.

Xur’s complete inventory pricing structure offers varying value propositions for different Guardian needs:

The Exotic Engram represents the highest investment at 97 Legendary Shards but guarantees an exotic not currently in your collections. For newer players or those with limited exotic options, this provides the best long-term value despite the substantial cost.

Priority Purchase Recommendation: 1) Missing class armor pieces, 2) Skyburner’s Oath if lacking Cabal-specific tools, 3) Exotic Engram for collection completionists. Avoid purchasing duplicates unless you’re seeking better stat distributions on armor pieces.

Seasoned Guardians should evaluate each item’s stat roll before committing shards. The 60+ total stat threshold generally indicates a worthwhile investment, while sub-55 rolls might warrant skipping unless completing your exotic collection.
