The blanket lad, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week’s reset. If you’re looking to get you 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 Located Today?
Xûr’s location can be found at Winding Cove in the EDZ on August 11 through August 15. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Winding Cove. When you arrive, make for the rock cliffs at the far end of the cove and look for a cave winding up to a platform next to some Fallen. There you’ll find the retail monster who inspires us all.

Titans have the roll to check out this week, with a beautiful 69 stat total to work with. Unfortunately it’s a high Mobility roll, so may have limited use for most Titans out there. Still, it’s the best you’re going to get this week when it comes to Exotic armor — the others are bad!
Exotic Weapons

Both of the rolls we got this week are middling at best. I’d recommend waiting until Xur brings you some better offerings down the road!

My top picks this week are Night Watch with a reliable, if unexciting, combo of Subsistence and Multikill Clip, and True Prophecy with Overflow and Explosive Payload. Even these aren’t amazing or anything though — certainly no God rolls this week.
Warlock Legendary Armor
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Simulator set which includes:
Simulator Gauntlets

Simulator Bond
My word — Warlocks certainly have a haul this week, including one of the best rolls I’ve seen on an exotic piece of armor in quite a while: the glorious boots. With the lowest Mobility and highest Resilience possible, these ultra spikey shoes are an absolute must-buy. The other pieces of armor are also pretty good, with high stat totals all around, but none so wonderful as the boots.
Titan Legendary Armor
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Simulator set which includes:
Simulator Gauntlets
22 Mobility2 Resilience10 Recovery10 Discipline15 Intellect6 StrengthTotal: 65

15 Mobility10 Resilience7 Recovery10 Discipline12 Intellect10 StrengthTotal: 64

Simulator Mark
I appear to have spoken too soon…THESE boots are the best piece of armor I’ve seen in a long time. With an even higher stat total than the Warlocks, this roll also has the lowest Mobility and highest Resilience possible, plus a pretty darn good distribution elsewhere as well. You love to see it!
Hunter Legendary Armor
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Simulator set which includes:
Simulator Gauntlets
15 Mobility15 Resilience2 Recovery15 Discipline7 Intellect10 StrengthTotal: 64
Simulator Chest Armor
10 Mobility15 Resilience7 Recovery6 Discipline15 Intellect12 StrengthTotal: 65

Simulator Leg Armor

Simulator Cloak
Hunters have some decent stat totals to work with, similar to Titans and Warlocks, but none of them are especially spikey, which is a little disappointing. Worst of all, their boots pale in comparison to the other two classes. Sorry, Hunters!
