He who is more rat than man and more jackal than rat, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week’s reset. If you’re looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.
Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he’s got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.
We’ve rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.
Where Is Xûr This Weekend?
Xûr’s location today can be found at Watcher’s Grave on Nessus on December 23 through December 27. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Watcher’s Grave. When you arrive, make for the red moss-covered tree straight ahead. Climb up the roots and you’ll find Xûr waiting at the top to sell you exotic items and legendary weapons.
What Is Xûr Selling This Weekend?

Apotheosis Veil – Exotic Warlock Helmet

The Titan helmet is the only decent roll this week, but with mid-stats and nothing especially spikey, even that is hard to recommend. Pick up Hard Light if you somehow don’t have it yet — otherwise move along.
Exotic Weapons
Hawkmoon – Exotic Hand Cannon

Dead Man’s Tale – Exotic Scout Rifle

These are both great weapons, but Hawkmoon‘s roll this week is awesome, with Opening Shot and Alloy Magazine for the win! I’d pick that one up for sure!

Warlocks got a pretty awesome and spikey roll on their helmet this week with 65 overall stats and a staggering 22 Recovery — definitely consider picking that bad boy up!

Titans got shafted this week. Their only decent roll is their chestpiece, but even that has no spikiness at all and mid-stats. Boo!
Hunter Legendary Armor

Vigil of Heroes Grips

Vigil of Heroes Cloak
Hunters got a halfway decent roll on their gloves this week with 64 stats overall, but nothing especially spiky. Probably a skip for them this week, though.
That’s a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! I hope you’re all enjoying The Dawning’s festivities this year!
