Where Is Xur Today? (February 2-6) Destiny 2 Exotic Items And Xur Location Guide

TL;DR

  • Xur located in Tower Hangar catwalk – spawn at Courtyard and head left
  • Exotic armor includes Raiden Flux, Hallowfire Heart, and Felwinter’s Helm
  • Prometheus Lens available as primary exotic weapon with catalyst benefits
  • Complete Gensym Knight legendary armor sets for all three classes
  • Seven legendary weapons with optimized perk combinations available

This weekend, Destiny 2’s mysterious merchant Xur has established his temporary outpost within The Tower’s Hangar section. Unlike vendors with fixed locations, Xur operates on a weekly rotation system that keeps Guardians searching for his hidden spot.

Xur's location inside the Tower.

Xur’s precise position on the Hangar catwalk.

To efficiently locate Xur, begin at the Courtyard transmat zone. Immediately turn left and descend the staircase leading into the Hangar area. Once inside, execute another left turn and proceed toward the northern perimeter. Watch for a metallic staircase ascending to an elevated catwalk structure where the Agent of the Nine awaits your visit.

Common navigation mistake: Many players mistakenly search the Bazaar or Annex areas first. Save time by heading directly to the Hangar upon spawning.

Xur’s exotic armor selection this week provides powerful subclass synergies for all three Guardian classes. Each piece costs 23 Legendary Shards and offers unique gameplay enhancements when properly integrated into specialized builds.

Raiden Flux (Ornament applied)

Raiden Flux with ornament customization applied.

Hunter – Raiden Flux: This chest armor dramatically extends Arc Staff super duration when dealing damage with successive attacks. The exotic perk ‘Synapse Junctions’ provides increasing damage resistance and super energy returns, making it essential for Arcstrider endgame content. Pro tip: Combine with mods that generate Orbs of Power on melee kills for maximum super uptime.

Hallowfire Heart (Ornament applied)

Hallowfire Heart featuring ornament appearance.

Titan – Hallowfire Heart: Solar subclass Titans benefit tremendously from this chest piece. When your Super energy is fully charged, all Solar ability cooldowns are significantly reduced – grenades recharge 400% faster while barricade and melee abilities regenerate 250% quicker. Advanced strategy: Maintain your Super rather than activating it to maximize ability spam potential.

Felwinter's Helm

Felwinter’s Helm exotic Warlock headgear.

Warlock – Felwinter’s Helm: This helmet creates a devastating weakening effect after powered melee final blows. Nearby enemies suffer both damage and debuff effects, making it exceptional for crowd control situations. Optimal use: Pair with high-strength builds and weapons that enhance melee damage for optimal synergy.

  • Exotic Engram – 97 Legendary Shards
  • Prometheus Lens – 29 Legendary Shards
  • Raiden Flux – 23 Legendary Shards
  • Hallowfire Heart – 23 Legendary Shards
  • Felwinter’s Helm – 23 Legendary Shards
  • Xur’s featured exotic weapon this weekend is the Prometheus Lens trace rifle, available for 29 Legendary Shards. This solar energy weapon continuously projects a devastating beam that applies burn damage to targets while simultaneously generating a damage-increasing field around the wielder.

    Prometheus Lens (Ornament applied)

    Prometheus Lens with ornamental customization options.

    The weapon’s exotic perk ‘Prismatic Inferno’ causes sustained damage to create a warming field that damages nearby enemies. With its catalyst completed, Prometheus Lens gains the ‘Incandescent’ perk, causing defeated targets to ignite and spread scorch effects to nearby combatants.

    PvE Application: Excellent for add-clear scenarios and dealing with grouped enemies. The catalyst transforms it into a premier weapon for solar burn activities and solar-focused builds. Estimated clear time improvement: 15-20% faster in enemy-dense activities.

    PvP Considerations: While less meta-defining than in previous seasons, it remains effective for area denial and finishing weakened guardians.

    Xur offers complete Gensym Knight legendary armor sets for all three Guardian classes, providing solid stat distributions for various buildcrafting approaches. Each class receives five armor pieces with optimized stat allocations.

    Titan Set Analysis: The Gensym Knight armor emphasizes Resilience and Discipline, making it ideal for barricade-spamming builds and grenade-focused strategies. The chest piece offers exceptional 18 Resilience for Titan mains.

    Warlock Optimization: With high Recovery and Intelligence stats, this set complements ability-regeneration focused Warlock builds perfectly.

    Hunter Stat Distribution: Balanced across multiple stats with particular strength in Mobility and Recovery for optimal neutral game performance.

    Special Weapon Analysis: Far Future sniper rifle combines Moving Target for improved accuracy while strafing with Multikill Clip for damage stacking in rapid multi-kill scenarios.

    Hawkmoon (Ornament applied

    Hawkmoon hand cannon featuring ornamental customization.

    Heavy Weapon Strategy: Code Duello rocket launcher features the powerful Chain Reaction perk, causing defeated targets to explode and damage nearby enemies. This makes it exceptionally effective for crowd control situations and dealing with grouped combatants in endgame activities.
