It’s a new weekend, which means everyone’s favorite shady vendor is back. Xur is waiting to sell you a new exotic or two from Destiny’s vast arsenal. Here’s where to find Xur’s location in Destiny 2.
Season of the Wish is here and there is a lot to be getting on with as you work through all of the new content. While you’re doing all that, why not visit Xur to break up the grind and see what the Agent of the Nine has on sale?
Xur has arrived in the solar system as the Dawning continues to for one more week in Destiny 2. If you’re looking for new builds to take advantage of its new weapons (or that new Exotic Strand bow, Wish-Keeper, from the Warlord’s Reign dungeon), you might want to check out Xur’s slate of Legendary and Exotic gear. Here’s where to find Xur and what he’s selling this weekend.
This week you can find Xur in The EDZ, in the Winding Cove area.
Xur is offering Coldheart for his Exotic weapon this week. Hunters can snag the Celestial Nighthawk helmet; Titans have the Synthoceps gauntlets; and for Warlocks, Xur offers the Felwinter’s Helm helmet.
Also, Immortalboost is now providing Destiny 2 Boosting Service for all the players who are ready to unlock new adventures in D2. Make sure you check out the prices!
Xur Location
Every Friday, Xur returns to Destiny 2 in a new location and offers Guardians a chance to grab an exotic weapon and some new exotic armor rolls in-game, along with his exclusive cipher quest that you need to complete in order to claim old exotic weapons from the Monument to Lost Lights.
Xur is back in Destiny 2 this week, and he’s due to set up shop in a different location with a whole new stock on offer to Guardians. In fact, since Season of the Lost, he now sells a series of Legendary items, too — adding a new dimension to the mysterious vendor.

Exotic Armor
Celestial Nighthawk (Exotic Hunter helmet)
Celestial Nighthawk spent a lot of years as a must-have Hunter Exotic for high-end content, especially raids. This was the Exotic to use to do massive Golden Gun damage to bosses. It reduces your Golden Gun to one single, high-damage shot, and combined with the Deadeye setting, allows you to do ridiculous damage in one blast. With a recent buff, Celestial Nighthawk is back to being an excellent boss damage option for Hunters, so if you don’t have one, pick this up. Xur’s roll isn’t great, but the total stat number is at least pretty high and its stats are fairly balanced, so you could do worse than this one.
- Mobility: 11
- Resilience: 8
- Recovery: 16
- Discipline: 10
- Intellect: 19
- Strength: 2
- Total: 66
Synthoceps (Exotic Titan gauntlets)
Synthoceps get some great synergy with various Titan builds, and often become a little too powerful at times, resulting in Bungie rebalancing the Exotic to make it a little less awesome. The gauntlets enhance your melee and Super damage when you’re surrounded, which can be great for melee-focused Titan builds that benefit from lots of kills against lots of enemies–and with the right approach, it can be great for boss damage, too. Mobility is a little too high on this roll, while Resistance is a little too low, so if you’re not picking Synthoceps up to unlock it from your Collections, you might want to skip this one unless it fits your build needs.
- Mobility: 12
- Resilience: 3
- Recovery: 21
- Discipline: 12
- Intellect: 10
- Strength: 10
- Total: 68
Felwinter’s Helm (Exotic Warlock helmet)
Melee-focused Warlocks can get a lot of benefit from Felwinter’s Helm, which gives some significant benefits when you land final blows with your powered melee. Killing enemies with a powered melee creates an explosion that weakens other enemies, and that explosion gets even bigger when you land final blows or execute finishers on more-powerful enemies. The weakening effect can be great for crowd control against lots of small enemies, and using it to debuff tougher enemies or bosses can turn the tide of battle and help you stack damage.
- Mobility: 7
- Resilience: 15
- Recovery: 10
- Discipline: 2
- Intellect: 16
- Strength: 14
- Total: 64
Exotic Weapons
Coldheart (Exotic trace rifle)
An old Exotic but a great Exotic, Coldheart is a trace rifle that pairs perfectly with a lot of Arc builds. It fires a steady laser that lets you zap enemies from pretty long distances with a lot of accuracy, and the longer you hold the beam on targets, the more powerful it becomes. The synergy comes from the fact that Coldheart final blows periodically generate Ionic Traces, those little electrical buffs that give you ability energy when they reach you. Ionic Traces can get you grenades and powered melees back very quickly, so this can be a very useful addition to a lot of Arc builds that rely on things like pulse grenades.
Hawkmoon (Exotic hand cannon)
Hawkmoon this week is mostly just fine. It sports strong recoil control, which can make it a little easier to use, but Snapshot Sights is definitely not the best main perk you can get on this gun. Generally, you want more Range than this to be effective in the Crucible in particular.
- Paracausal Shot
- Extended Barrel
- Alloy Magazine
- Snapshot Sights
- Combat Grip
