As per usual, Xur will be present in one of his signature locations for a few days, giving you until the weekly reset to browse and make purchases. Read on to discover where Xur is stationed this week and what items he has up for sale.

This week, you can find Xur in The Tower, specifically inside the Hangar. His featured weapon is The Prospector grenade launcher. Hunters can acquire the Young Ahamkara's Spine gauntlets, Titans can obtain the Peacekeepers leg armor, and Warlocks have the opportunity to purchase the Winter's Guile gauntlets.

Xur Location

To locate Xur in the Tower, make your way to the Courtyard transmat zone. Once there, head left and descend the stairs to enter the Hangar section. Take another left and proceed towards the north end of the area. Look for a staircase that leads to a catwalk, where you will find Xur patiently waiting.

Exotic Armor

Young Ahamkara's Spine

Young Ahamkara's Spine (Exotic Hunter gauntlets)

With the Wish Dragon Teeth perk, you gain several benefits when using the Tripmine Grenade. Not only does it last longer, but its explosion covers a larger area. Additionally, each ability final blow grants you energy for that particular grenade skill.

Moreover, the aesthetic appeal of Young Ahamkara's Spine is undeniable. In terms of stats, this piece of armor offers a well-rounded distribution. It excels in recovery and strength, while also performing admirably in terms of discipline and mobility. However, to maximize its potential, it is recommended to apply resilience and recovery mods to fill any gaps in the armor's capabilities.

Mobility: 14

Resilience: 3

Recovery: 18

Discipline: 12

Intellect: 2

Strength: 18

Total: 67

Peacekeepers (Exotic Titan leg armor)

Peacekeepers are the perfect Exotic boots for Titans who favor the submachine gun weapon archetype. These boots provide faster weapon handling, improved movement, and a slight increase in effectiveness while airborne when wielding an SMG. To maximize the potential of these weapons, pair the Peacekeepers with an Exotic like Riskrunner or Huckleberry in one slot and a different SMG in the secondary slot. In terms of stats, this Exotic has a low resilience, high recovery, and decent numbers for discipline, intellect, and strength.

Mobility: 3

Resilience: 3

Recovery: 28

Discipline: 11

Intellect: 10

Strength: 12

Total: 67

Winter's Guile (Exotic Warlock gauntlets)

Enhance Your Stasis Build with Winter's Guile

Winter's Guile is an excellent choice for Warlocks seeking a powerful Exotic for their Stasis build. The Warlord's Sigil perk boosts your melee damage after defeating targets in close-quarters combat, making it an ideal pairing with abilities like Penumbral Blast. Encased targets will shatter automatically, creating a devastating combo when combined with Exotic weapons like Ager's Scepter and carefully chosen Fragments and Aspects. However, it's worth noting that this specific roll has inconsistent stats, with high resilience and strength but lower numbers in other areas.

Mobility: 2

Resilience: 28

Recovery: 4

Discipline: 6

Intellect: 2

Strength: 23

Total: 65

Exotic Weapons

The Prospector (Exotic grenade launcher)

The Prospector has been absent from Xur's inventory for quite some time now. If you haven't already added it to your collection, you have missed out on an incredibly enjoyable Exotic grenade launcher. This weapon boasts an expanded magazine capacity and the ability to fire in full-auto mode. However, what sets it apart is its Excavation perk. By continuously holding down the trigger, you can unleash a barrage of grenades that will all detonate concurrently as soon as you release the trigger. These grenades have the additional advantage of sticking to surfaces, igniting targets, and causing defeated enemies to explode while releasing powerful Arc energy.

Augmented Drum

Full-Auto Trigger System

Hand-Laid Stock

Hawkmoon (Exotic hand cannon)

Hawkmoon with the Quickdraw perk is a seldom occurrence when Xur features this Exotic hand cannon on their inventory. However, despite its outstanding ability to swiftly draw the weapon, it is not a necessary acquisition this week. Opt to obtain it if you desire the sensation of being a skilled gunslinger or to unlock additional crafting opportunities.

Xur appears in Destiny 2 every weekend, starting with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET every Friday. Initially, his exact location is unknown, as he is not shown on the map, making it easy for novice players to overlook him. However, he can usually be found in a few specific areas, such as the Tower Hangar, Watcher's Grave on Nessus, and the Winding Cove area in the EDZ.
