Xur’s location on Nessus.

Navigation to Xur’s position requires specific route knowledge. After transporting to the Watcher’s Grave transmat zone, immediately deploy your sparrow and proceed northward toward the sector boundary. Critical visual reference: identify the massive arboreal structure exhibiting vibrant pink moss growth along the right-side perimeter. Ascend the substantial horizontal limb to access the vendor’s elevated platform.

Common navigation errors include overshooting the tree location or attempting to approach from incorrect angles. The most efficient path involves following the main thoroughfare until the distinctive flora becomes visible, then making a direct approach rather than circling the area.

Xur’s exotic inventory this weekend features strategically valuable equipment for all Guardian classes. The weapon selection includes Hard Light, an energy auto rifle renowned for its versatile combat applications and unique intrinsic perks.

    Warlock armor prioritizes recovery and discipline, with the helmet featuring exceptional 22 recovery and 19 discipline stats. This combination significantly reduces ability cooldowns while maximizing health regeneration speed.

    Hunter equipment distribution favors mobility and intellect combinations, supporting agile combat styles and frequent super ability usage. The leg armor provides 18 intellect alongside 12 mobility, creating potent super regeneration capabilities.

    Stat optimization strategy: focus on acquiring pieces that complement your preferred playstyle. Titans should prioritize the chest and helmet for resilience-focused builds, while Warlocks benefit most from the helmet and gauntlets for ability-centric configurations.

    Maximizing your Xur interactions requires strategic planning and resource management. Begin each weekend with a currency assessment to ensure you have sufficient legendary shards for priority acquisitions. The exotic engram represents the highest value purchase at 97 shards, providing guaranteed exotic armor for your current class.

    Weekly preparation should include inventory evaluation to identify missing exotics or suboptimal armor rolls. Consult your collections and vault before visiting to determine which items provide the greatest upgrade potential for your active loadouts.

    Currency efficiency tips: prioritize weapons over armor if you’re missing critical exotics, as armor stat rolls can vary significantly between acquisitions. For veteran players with extensive collections, focus on high-stat armor pieces that complement your current build requirements.

    Common purchasing mistakes include buying duplicate exotics without checking collections first, or acquiring armor with poor stat distributions that don’t align with your playstyle needs.

    Long-term collection planning involves tracking which exotics you’re missing and monitoring Xur’s inventory for completion opportunities. The exotic engram always decrypts into an item not currently in your inventory, making it essential for filling collection gaps.
