This weekend’s Xur location guide provides everything you need to locate the mysterious merchant and evaluate his current exotic offerings. With Legendary Shards scheduled for retirement soon, strategic purchasing becomes increasingly important for maximizing your investment.

Despite recent turbulence in the Destiny 2 universe, Xur maintains his reliable weekly appearance schedule. The Agent of the Nine arrives with a curated selection of exotic and legendary equipment, giving players limited-time opportunities to acquire powerful gear. This week’s inventory includes several standout items worth considering for your collection.

You’ll find Xur stationed in the European Dead Zone (EDZ), specifically within the Winding Cove sector. His featured exotic weapon this visit is Arbalest, while class-specific armor includes Hunter Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves, Titan Wormgod Caress gauntlets, and Warlock Transversive Steps leg armor.

To reach Xur efficiently: Begin at the Winding Cove transmat zone, then mount your sparrow heading northward. Identify the collapsed highway overpass on your left side and search for a cave entrance adjacent to the road’s curve. Proceed through the underground passage within the cliff formation to access an elevated ridge where a destroyed Fallen transport vessel rests; Xur awaits your arrival at this location.

Xur’s exotic inventory represents some of the most powerful equipment available in Destiny 2. Each piece offers unique gameplay benefits that can significantly enhance your combat effectiveness in both PvE and PvP activities.

Arbalest stands out as particularly valuable this week. This kinetic linear fusion rifle features intrinsic anti-barrier capabilities, making it exceptionally effective against shielded enemies in Nightfalls and high-level content. Its Disruption Break perk creates bonus damage opportunities after breaking combatant shields.

    Top Tier Picks: Spare Rations with Subsistence and Kill Clip creates an excellent add-clear machine in PvE content. Farewell sidearm’s Vorpal Weapon perk provides bonus damage against bosses and champions.

    PvP Recommendations: First In, Last Out shotgun features Opening Shot for improved accuracy on initial fire, making it deadly in Crucible engagements.

    Specialized Roles: Canis Major grenade launcher with Surplus and Adagio offers consistent performance for ability-focused builds.

    Hawkmoon

    Hawkmoon exotic hand cannon available through separate acquisition methods.

    Common Mistake: Many players overlook Jian 7 Rifle’s Grave Robber and Outlaw combination, which actually provides excellent sustainability in extended firefights when paired with appropriate mods.

    With Legendary Shards scheduled for removal from Destiny 2’s economy in the coming weeks, strategic decision-making becomes crucial for maximizing your remaining resources. Prioritize acquisitions based on your current collection gaps and preferred playstyles.

    Priority Purchases: If you don’t own Arbalest, this should be your first acquisition given its consistent utility in high-level content with barrier champions.

    Exotic Armor Consideration: Evaluate whether the available exotic armor pieces fill gaps in your current builds or offer new gameplay possibilities.

    Legendary Shard Spending Strategy: Focus on completing exotic armor collections first, then target legendary weapons with standout perk combinations. The Exotic Engram provides random exotic completion but costs significantly more at 97 shards.

    Time Investment: Visiting Xur and evaluating his inventory typically takes 5-10 minutes, while farming additional shards if needed could require several hours depending on your current inventory.

    For players building their class-specific loadouts, the Tusked Allegiance armor offers solid stat foundations for various builds. The Hunter chest piece with 24 Recovery is particularly valuable for PvP enthusiasts.
