[343iBot]

We're in the final stretch of Season of the Deep, but if there's one constant in Destiny 2, it's a scheduled visit from intergalactic arms dealer Xur. As usual, Xur has a fresh inventory of Exotic armor pieces and weapons, legendary-class gear, and access to the Xenology quest. Here's where Xur is this week, and what he has for sale.

This week you can find Xur on Nessus, in The Watcher's Grave. For his weapon, Xur is offering Merciless. Hunters can pick up the Shinobu's Vow gauntlets; Titans can grab the ACD/0 Feedback gauntlets; and Warlocks can buy the Crown of Tempests helmet.

Xur Location

Xur's location on Nessus.

Head to Nessus and use the Watcher's Grave transmat zone to find Xur this week. When you arrive, hop on your sparrow and head north toward the exit of the area. Look for a big tree with pink moss on the right side of the area. Climb up onto its big, flat branch, where you can reach Xur.

Xur Exotic and Legendary Items

• Exotic Engram - 97 Legendary Shards
• Merciless - 29 Legendary Shards
• Shinobu's Vow - 23 Legendary Shards
• ACD/0 Feedback Fence - 23 Legendary Shards
• Crown of Tempests - 23 Legendary Shards
• Hawkmoon - 200 Legendary Shards, 125,000 Glimmer, 1 Ascendant Shard, 1 Exotic Cipher
• Dead Man's Tale - 200 Legendary Shards, 125,000 Glimmer, 1 Ascendant Shard, 1 Exotic Cipher
• Xenology quest - Free
• Legendary weapons and armor - 50 Legendary Shards, 1,000 Glimmer

Xur also offers the Xenology quest every week, which requires you to complete 21 Vanguard Ops or win Crucible and Gambit matches so that you can earn an Exotic Cipher. These are normally used to buy old Exotics from a kiosk in the Tower, but from this season, you'll be able to spend them at Master Rahool to get the Exotics that you want. The cap on Exotic Ciphers has also increased, as you'll now be able to hold up to five of them at a time.

Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET each Friday. His exact location is always a mystery when he first arrives, as he is not listed on the map, and for novice players, he can be easy to miss. However, there are a set number of locations where he takes up residence, including the Tower Hangar area, on Nessus in Watcher's Grave, and in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ.
