Discover Xur’s current weekend inventory and learn how to navigate to his newly established permanent shop in Destiny 2’s latest expansion.
The wandering merchant Xur has undergone significant changes in The Final Shape, transitioning from his nomadic lifestyle to operating from a fixed location within the Tower. This strategic relocation provides Guardians with consistent access to his exotic wares while introducing an enhanced selection system. Whether you’re hunting for perfectly rolled armor or specific weapon enhancements, understanding Xur’s new setup is crucial for optimizing your acquisitions.
Xur’s location in the Tower’s Bazaar
Navigating to Xur’s alcove requires specific steps: Begin at the Tower spawn point and proceed rightward past Banshee-44’s position. Descend the staircase, continue through the connecting hallway, and upon reaching the Bazaar area, immediately turn right into the adjacent passage. You’ll locate Xur positioned within his dedicated retail space, prepared to exchange goods for Strange Coins. Consult our comprehensive Strange Coin acquisition guide for detailed strategies on earning this essential currency through ritual activities and weekly challenges.
Xur’s current exotic catalyst selection includes two highly sought-after weapon enhancements that significantly upgrade their performance capabilities.
The Arbalest Exotic Catalyst, priced at 71 Strange Coins, transforms this linear fusion rifle into an anti-barrier powerhouse. The catalyst introduces the Disruption Break perk, causing shielded enemies to take increased kinetic damage after their shield is broken. This enhancement makes Arbalest exceptionally effective in endgame content where barrier champions are prevalent, essentially functioning as a specialized tool for high-level Nightfall strikes and master-level activities.
Meanwhile, the Bad Juju Catalyst, also costing 71 Strange Coins, dramatically improves this pulse rifle’s exotic perk. Catalyst completion grants additional super energy from kills while String of Curses is active, creating exceptional synergy with super-focused builds. This enhancement is particularly valuable for players who frequently utilize their super abilities in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
Xur’s exotic armor inventory this week features three distinct pieces tailored to specific class identities and playstyles, each priced at 41 Strange Coins.
For Titan mains, Heart of Inmost Light provides exceptional ability regeneration through its empowered melee, grenade, and barricade mechanics. This chest piece excels in aggressive playstyles where ability uptime is crucial, making it a cornerstone for solar and arc Titan builds focused on constant offensive pressure.

Hunter enthusiasts can acquire Lucky Raspberry, an arcstrider-focused chest piece that enhances arcbolt grenade effectiveness. Its unique perk provides a chance to fully recharge your grenade energy when damaging multiple enemies, creating exceptional ad-clear potential in density-heavy encounters.

Maximizing your Xur purchases requires strategic planning and understanding of currency acquisition mechanics. Begin by prioritizing exotic catalysts over armor pieces, as catalysts provide permanent weapon enhancements that significantly impact gameplay effectiveness across all content types.
Common mistakes include spending Strange Coins on legendary armor before securing exotic enhancements. Legendary armor is more readily available through other sources, while catalyst availability is often limited to specific vendors or random drops.
Advanced optimization involves calculating your weekly Strange Coin acquisition potential against Xur’s inventory costs. Most players can earn approximately 80-100 Strange Coins weekly through ritual activities, allowing for one catalyst purchase plus additional armor acquisitions if efficiently managed.
Time estimates for earning sufficient currency vary: Completing eight vendor bounties typically requires 45-60 minutes, while finishing three ritual activity playlists generally takes 75-90 minutes. Plan your gameplay sessions accordingly to ensure you accumulate enough resources before Xur’s inventory refreshes.
