As Destiny 2’s mysterious weekend vendor returns, Guardians need precise navigation instructions to locate Xur and evaluate his exotic offerings. This comprehensive guide provides detailed directions and strategic analysis of his current inventory to help you make informed purchasing decisions.
The Agent of the Nine maintains his regular appearance schedule despite seasonal changes, arriving each Friday at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET following the daily reset. His unmarked locations rotate between three primary areas, requiring players to actively seek him out rather than relying on map indicators.
Currently, Xur has established his temporary outpost in the EDZ, specifically within the Winding Cove sector. To reach him efficiently, begin at the Winding Cove transmat point and travel northward using your sparrow. Identify the damaged highway section on your left and search for the cavern entrance adjacent to the road’s curve. Proceed through the underground passage emerging at an elevated plateau featuring a wrecked Fallen transport vessel – Xur awaits nearby.

His primary exotic weapon this week is Sweet Business, a high-capacity auto rifle that excels in sustained fire situations. For class-specific exotic armor, Hunters can acquire Gemini Jester leg gear, Titans have access to the Eternal Warrior helmet, while Warlocks can obtain Claws of Ahamkara gauntlets.

Maximizing your Xur visits requires strategic planning beyond simple location knowledge. Understanding pricing structures, timing considerations, and collection management separates experienced Guardians from occasional visitors.
The exotic engram remains Xur’s most expensive item at 97 legendary shards, potentially providing a missing exotic for your collection. Prioritize this purchase if you’re building toward complete exotic ownership or seeking specific armor rolls for your preferred playstyle.
Common mistakes to avoid include purchasing duplicate exotics without checking collections first, spending shards impulsively on mediocre legendary rolls, and failing to account for weekly reset timing that could affect your purchasing power.
For optimal shard management, consider these purchasing priorities: First, acquire any missing exotic armor pieces for your main character class. Second, evaluate weapon rolls for meta relevance in current season activities. Third, purchase the exotic engram if you have sufficient shards and incomplete collections. This approach aligns with our broader Complete Guide methodology for efficient resource allocation.

Advanced timing strategy: Visit Xur shortly before weekly reset on Tuesdays to evaluate if any last-minute purchases complement your upcoming weekly activities.
Remember that Xur’s inventory refreshes completely each Friday, making strategic planning essential for players with limited playtime or shard reserves. His current offerings provide solid foundation pieces for both new and experienced Guardians building their arsenals.
Action Checklist
- Fast travel to Winding Cove in EDZ and navigate north to collapsed overpass
- Evaluate exotic armor for your main class against current build needs
- Analyze legendary weapon perk combinations for PvE/PvP viability
- Check collections for missing exotics before purchasing engram
- Prioritize purchases based on shard availability and immediate needs
