Xur's Location Guide & Exotic Items in Destiny 2 (Sept 8-12)

Xur Returns with a Bang in Season 22!

Greetings, fellow Guardians! As we dive deeper into Season 22’s tale of vengeance, we are graced once again by the enigmatic Xur and his tantalizing wares. Brace yourselves for a wild ride through a refreshed collection of Exotic and Legendary-class items that are sure to make your Guardian shine. So saddle up, Guardians, because it’s time to see what Xur has in store for us this weekend!

Xur’s Location: Where is that Sneaky Guy?

Xur’s location on Nessus

This week, our dear Xur has chosen Nessus as his playground, specifically The Watcher’s Grave. Don’t worry if you haven’t memorized the layout of every nook and cranny on Nessus. Head toward the exit of the area and keep an eye out for a magnificent tree with pink moss on the right side. Climb up onto its big, flat branch, and voila, you’ve found Xur!

The Exotic Delights Await!

Enough with the hide-and-seek, let’s get down to business. Xur has brought some fantastic items that deserve a spot in your arsenal. Here’s what’s on offer:

  • Crimson (Exotic Hand Cannon) – 29 Legendary Shards
  • Gemini Jester (Exotic Hunter Leg Armor) – 23 Legendary Shards
  • Helm of Saint-14 (Exotic Titan Helmet) – 23 Legendary Shards
  • Crown of Tempests (Exotic Warlock Helmet) – 23 Legendary Shards

But that’s not all! Xur also has a juicy selection of other goodies for you to splurge on. Feast your eyes on this:

Item Cost
Exotic Engram 97 Legendary Shards
Hawkmoon 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

It’s worth noting that Xur is now offering the Xenology quest every week. By completing 21 Vanguard Ops or winning Crucible and Gambit matches, you can earn an Exotic Cipher. These ciphers can be used to purchase sought-after Exotics from Master Rahool, adding even more firepower to your Guardian’s repertoire.

Outrageously Awesome Armor!

Gemini Jester

Gemini Jester (Exotic Hunter Leg Armor)

Hunters, feast your eyes on Gemini Jester! This Exotic leg armor is a PvP master’s dream, as dodging will disorient and remove the radar of nearby enemies. It’s a perfect surprise attack maneuver. And let’s not forget the stats – this roll of Gemini Jester boasts solid mobility, recovery, and discipline. Just be prepared for low resilience and intellect, but hey, who needs those when you’re causing some chaos?

  • Mobility: 17
  • Resilience: 2
  • Recovery: 15
  • Discipline: 22
  • Intellect: 2
  • Strength: 10
  • Total: 68

Helm of Saint-14 (Exotic Titan Helmet)

Helm of Saint-14

Guardians who favor the Void subclass, get ready to blind your enemies left and right with the Helm of Saint-14. This Exotic Titan helmet automatically blinds any foes who dare enter your Ward of Dawn and grants your allies inside an overshield. Plus, if you’re rocking the Sentinel Shield Super, guarding will leave nearby targets blinded. As for the stats, resilience is off the charts, mobility is non-existent (but who needs it?), and the others fall nicely within the average range.

  • Mobility: 2
  • Resilience: 23
  • Recovery: 11
  • Discipline: 2
  • Intellect: 17
  • Strength: 13
  • Total: 68

Crown of Tempests (Exotic Warlock Helmet)

Crown of Tempests

Warlocks craving a spectacular lightning show, say hello to the Crown of Tempests. With its Conduction Tines perk, your Stormtrance Super will last even longer. And as if that’s not enough, your Arc abilities get a recharge rate boost when you land Arc ability or jolt final bows. Keep in mind, though, that resilience and discipline may not be this helm’s strong suits. But with above-average recovery and strength, you’ll be electrifying the battleground.

  • Mobility: 8
  • Resilience: 2
  • Recovery: 25
  • Discipline: 2
  • Intellect: 10
  • Strength: 20
  • Total: 67

Exotically Entertaining Weapons!

Crimson (Exotic Hand Cannon)

Crimson

Let’s start with a bang! The ever-popular Crimson is making an appearance again. This Exotic hand cannon packs a punch, firing a three-round burst from its massive barrel. And here’s the cherry on top: precision kills with Crimson instantly reload the weapon. It’s a carnival of destruction for taking out hordes of Fallen or Hive enemies. Say “goodbye” to cannon fodder!

  • Banned Weapon
  • Smallbore
  • Accurized Rounds
  • Cruel Remedy

Hawkmoon (Exotic Hand Cannon)

Hawkmoon

Ah, the elusive Hawkmoon. But fear not! This week, it’s sporting a desirable roll. With the Rangefinder perk, this hand cannon becomes even deadlier when combined with your other weapons. Trust us, this Hawkmoon is worth adding to your collection.

  • Corkscrew Rifling
