Where Is Xur Today? (November 17-21) Destiny 2 Exotic Items And Xur Location Guide

TL;DR

  • Xur is located on Nessus in The Watcher’s Grave with weekly reset inventory
  • Featured exotics include The Colony, St0mp-EE5, Wormgod Caress, and Felwinter’s Helm
  • Gensym Knight armor sets offer balanced stat distributions for all classes
  • Legendary weapons feature powerful perk combinations for various playstyles
  • Strategic purchasing now prepares you for Season of the Wish content

As Season of the Witch approaches its conclusion, Xur has returned with fresh inventory perfect for preparing Guardians for the upcoming Season of the Wish. The Agent of the Nine offers limited-time opportunities to acquire powerful gear before major seasonal transitions.

Xur's location on Nessus.

Navigating to Xur’s current position on Nessus requires landing at Watcher’s Grave and heading toward the massive tree structure where he typically stations himself.

This week, Guardians can locate Xur positioned strategically within The Watcher’s Grave on Nessus. His location remains consistent throughout the weekend, from Friday’s daily reset until the following Tuesday’s weekly reset. For optimal efficiency, use your Sparrow to traverse the Vex structures and fallen enemies that populate the area.

Pro Tip: Set a waypoint to the large tree in the central area of Watcher’s Grave – Xur typically positions himself in the shadowed alcoves beneath the massive branches, making him slightly tricky to spot for first-time visitors.

Xur’s exotic inventory this week provides compelling options for each Guardian class, with particular emphasis on mobility and close-quarters combat effectiveness. Each piece offers unique gameplay advantages when integrated into specialized builds.

Class-Specific Exotic Armor

Wormgod Caress

Wormgod Caress provides Titans with escalating melee damage based on successive melee kills, making them exceptionally powerful in combination with throwing hammer builds.

St0mp-EE5

St0mp-EE5 dramatically enhances Hunter mobility with improved sprint speed, slide distance, and higher jumps – essential for platforming challenges and PvP evasion.

Felwinter's Helm

Felwinter’s Helm creates area-of-effect debuffs when you defeat enemies with melee attacks or finishers, weakening nearby combatants significantly.

Exotic Weapon Performance

The Colony

The Colony exotic grenade launcher fires intelligent tracking drones that seek out enemies, making it particularly effective against mobile targets in both PvE and PvP scenarios.

Hawkmoon

Hawkmoon remains a fan-favorite hand cannon with its random bullet that deals exponentially increased damage, rewarding precision shooting with massive burst damage potential.

Common Mistake: Many players overlook how Felwinter’s Helm synergizes with finisher mods – combining these creates powerful crowd control opportunities in high-density enemy situations.

Beyond exotic offerings, Xur provides comprehensive legendary armor sets and weapon selections with carefully curated perk combinations that cater to diverse playstyles and endgame activities.

With Season of the Wish approaching alongside the overhauled Dragon’s Breath exotic, strategic purchasing from Xur now can significantly enhance your capabilities for upcoming content. Focus on gear that complements your preferred playstyle while filling gaps in your current arsenal.

Currency Management: Prioritize exotic purchases first as they require Legendary Shards, then allocate remaining resources to legendary gear that features standout perk combinations.

Common Mistake: Many players waste resources on duplicate exotic armor when they should instead focus on acquiring missing pieces or superior stat rolls.

Time Investment: Plan for approximately 15-20 minutes to travel to Xur, review all inventory, and complete purchases – longer if you need to farm additional currency.
