Xur Location Guide and Exotic Items in Destiny 2: Where to Find Xur Today? (January 12-16)

Destiny 2 is currently experiencing a lull now that Season of the Wish's storyline is coming to a close. However, players can still pay a visit to the arms dealer Xur to check out his new selection of weapons and armor. This weekend, Xur can be found in The Tower, inside the Hangar. As for his inventory, he is offering Merciless as the weapon, Orpheus Rig leg armor for Hunters, Mk. 44 Stand Asides leg armor for Titans, and Wings of Sacred Dawn armor for Warlocks.

Xur's exact whereabouts in the Tower. To track him down this week, spawn in through the Courtyard transmat zone and head left, then descend the stairs into the Hangar area. Take another left and navigate to the northern part of the space, where you'll spot a staircase leading up to a catwalk where Xur can be found.

Orpheus Rig (Exotic Hunter leg armor)

Orpheus RigIf you're a Hunter in need of enhancing your Void Super, Orpheus Rig is the perfect choice. Each target ensnared by a Deadfall Anchor will grant you additional ability energy and an extra shot from your Moebius Quiver. While this build may lack resilience, it excels in mobility, recovery, and intellect stats.

Mobility: 12

Resilience: 2

Recovery: 19

Discipline: 12

Intellect: 10

Strength: 9

Mk. 44 Stand Asides (Exotic Titan leg armor)

MK. 44 Stand Asides

Are you a big fan of using charged Titan melee attacks like Seismic Strike, Hammer Strike, and Shield Bash? This Exotic provides extra survivability while sprinting around a map. If any of those melee abilities are equipped and charged while you have full health, you'll gain an Overshield while sprinting. Additionally, this Exotic has a very high Resilience stat to help maximize your chances of staying alive and taking down the opposition when you charge into them. While the recovery and discipline are low, the strength and intellect are quite high on this roll.

Mobility: 8

Resilience: 25

Recovery: 2

Discipline: 2

Intellect: 16

Strength: 14

Wings of Sacred Dawn (Exotic Warlock armor)

Wings of Sacred Dawn

The Wings of Sacred Dawn is an unusual Exotic, causing a brief suspension in midair when aiming your weapon. It is best suited for specific scenarios and offers additional benefits such as reduced flinching when under fire, increased resilience, Solar weapon perks, and a significant boost to the airborne effectiveness of all weapons. This Exotic also provides high mobility, intellect, and discipline stats, while strength and recovery may need to be increased if chosen to be used.

Mobility: 20

Resilience: 11

Recovery: 3

Discipline: 17

Intellect: 14

Strength: 2

Exotic Weapons

Merciless (Exotic fusion rifle)

Merciless is an excellent Exotic choice for tackling physically imposing bosses with substantial health bars. Solar weapons are particularly effective this season, and each strike against an enemy will reduce the charge time of Merciless for a brief period. Total: 67

Conserve Momentum

Chambered Compensator

Extended Mag

Impetus

Hawkmoon (Exotic hand cannon)

Hawkmoon

Consider skipping Hawkmoon this week, unless you specifically desire a unique roll version of this hand cannon to add to your collection. While Hip-Fire Grip offers increased accuracy, stability, and precision hit targeting when firing from the hip, the difference may not be very noticeable in the broader context.

Xur is available every weekend in Destiny 2, beginning with the daily reset at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET each Friday. His specific location is always a mystery when he first arrives, as he is not listed on the map, and for new players, he can be easy to miss. However, there are a set number of locations where he appears, including the Tower Hangar area, on Nessus in Watcher's Grave, and in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ.

Editor's P/S

As a dedicated Destiny 2 player, I'm always excited to see what Xur has in store each week. This weekend, he's offering a solid selection of exotic items, including Merciless, Orpheus Rig, Mk. 44 Stand Asides, and Wings of Sacred Dawn. Personally, I'm most interested in Orpheus Rig, as it's a great choice for Hunters looking to enhance their Void Super. The extra ability energy and additional shot from Moebius Quiver can be a game-changer in combat.

Overall, I'm pleased with Xur's inventory this week and would recommend that players take advantage of it. Whether you're looking for a new weapon or armor piece, there's something for everyone. Additionally, the Xenology quest is available for free, so be sure to pick that up as well. Happy hunting, Guardians!
