Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for March 4 [IGN]

View Article on IGN

The shady pasta-faced trader, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week’s reset. If you’re looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he’s got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We’ve rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

Where Is Xûr Today?

Xûr can be found at The Tower on March 4 through March 8. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. You’ll find ol’ snake-face chilling near the stairs at the back of the Hangar area.

Xûr can be found in the Hangar of The Tower.

What’s Xûr Selling Today?

Xûr has had a weird couple of weeks lately. His armor this week has all the same stat roll that you can pull out of your collections. If you’re looking for a good weapon to bring into the new playground of The Witch Queen‘s Throne World, there are some decent options, but nothing stellar.

Exotic Weapons

Each week Xur sells Hawkmoon & Dead Man's Tale.

Each week Xur sells Hawkmoon & Dead Man’s Tale.

Starting with the release of The Witch Queen, Xur also now offers a roll of Hawkmoon and Dead Man’s Tale each week.

Hawkmoon – Exotic Hand Cannon

  • Paracausal Shot
  • Polygonal Rifling
  • Alloy Magazine
  • Quickdraw
  • Combat Grip

Dead Man’s Tale – Exotic Scout Rifle

  • Cranial Spike
  • Full Bore
  • Steady Rounds
  • Moving Target
  • Short-Action Stock

Sunshot is a great option due to its ability to turn enemies into explosive balls of fire and deal mad damage to minor enemies. Dead Man’s Tale is actually the only worthwhile roll in all of Xur’s inventory this week. If you don’t have this weapon, pick it up. If you do have it, consider picking this roll up anyway, since the Vorpal Weapon perk works particularly well with this high-damage scout.

Aside from that though, Xûr’s Exotic armor is absolutely terrible this week due to incredibly low stat rolls. Please do not waste your precious Legendary Shards on this stuff unless you need it for your collection.

Legendary Weapons

Vulpecula – Hand Cannon

  • Accurized Rounds/Flared Magwell
  • Encore
  • Multikill Clip
  • Reload Speed Masterwork

To be honest, the Legendary Weapons this week aren’t quite as legendary as one would hope — definitely no God rolls. But a few standouts like the Frozen Orbit roll could be useful for PvP where the ability to switch weapons quickly and ADS fast are important. Aside from that, the sword’s got a good set of perks for dealing DPS and the submachine gun could be useful if you’re into Field Prep. Nothing you’re really missing out on if you wanted to skip Xûr altogether this week, though.

Warlock Legendary Armor

For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Anti-Extinction set which includes:

Anti-Extinction Bond

Unless for some reason you really want low-stat armor that’s bizarrely focused on a Strength-only build, it’s unlikely the Warlock armor this week will do much for you.

Titan Legendary Armor

For Titans, Xûr is selling the Anti-Extinction set which includes:

Anti-Extinction Mark

Again, the Titan armor is all low-stat and Strength focused. If you like punching (and what Titan doesn’t?), then this could perhaps be of use to you in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances but it’s generally so low-stat that you’re unlikely to want to us it.

Hunter Legendary Armor

For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Anti-Extinction set which includes:
