Where is Xur in Destiny 2 this weekend and what Exotic items is he selling?
Xur, the Agent Of The Nine, comes to Destiny 2 each week with a brand new stash of exotic weapons - but where and when can you find him?
DESTINY 2 weapons and items merchant Xur returns at a new location every Friday with fresh weapons and armour.
Here's where you can find him this weekend and what goodies the Agent of the Nine has in his possession.
Where will Xur appear this weekend and what is he selling?
Xur appears every week in a different location and sells a variety of wares - his location is revealed at 6pm (GMT) every Friday.
He is exceptionally elusive and only appears on the weekends, which means that he can be quite tricky to track down.
Last week he was at Nessus, near a big red tree, and was selling the following:
- Vigilance Wing (Exotic pulse rifle) -- 29 Legendary Shards
- Starfire Protocol (Exotic Warlock chest armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
- Frost-EE5 (Exotic Hunter leg armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
- Armamentarium (Exotic Titan chest armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
In this trial you can play the campaign on your own or with your friends who already own the game as well as enter the multiplayer arena.
Any progress you make in the trial you will be able to carry over when you purchase the full game.
The full components of the trial are:
- Campaign Mission on EDZ & Titan
- Adventure and Explore two full worlds
- PvP Multiplayer: Crucible Quickplay Playlist
- Character Progression: to Level 7
- Gameplay carries over to full game with purchase
- Clan functionality
What's the difference between Xur in Destiny 2 and the first game?
In the original Destiny you had to save up Strange Coins in order to purchase any of Xur's wares.
Happily, this system remains almost the same with the sole change that you'll be collecting Legendary Shards instead of Strange Coins.
In Destiny you could earn Strange Coins by completing special events and activities like Raids and by dismantling any Exotic weapons and armour pieces that you've collected and don't need any more.
This process remains the same - take part in Raid and Nightfall Strikes in Destiny 2 to gain Legendary Shards.
Worth noting is that Xur is no longer refined to social spaces but can show up in ever more curious spots including planets in Patrol zones.
