UpdatedInventory update (February 25 - May 1)

Destiny 2 is all about looking good and having fun on your favorite of the three core classes. Deck out your guardian by exploiting the stash that Xur packs stash of Exotic and legendary gear each week.

Who is Xur in Destiny 2?

Xur is a seemingly tentacle-faced merchant who serves The Nine. He appears weekly in Destiny 2 selling a variety of armor and weapons for Guardians to purchase for Glimmer and/or Legendary Shards.

Guardians can also complete one quest per week for Xur to get Exotic Ciphers.

When does Xur spawn?

Xur reappears in the Destiny 2 universe every Friday at 9 AM Pacific Time/12 PM Eastern Time at one of a few locations. However, he sometimes doesn’t appear until 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern.

He despawns on the weekly Tuesday reset at 9 AM Pacific/12 PM Eastern Time.

Where does Xur spawn in Destiny 2?

Find Xur’s location each week to see what wares he has for sale. He only appears at one of three locations: Nessus, the EDZ, or the Tower. His position used to be marked, but his location is now unmarked on the map.

This week, players can find the eldritch merchant in the European Dead Zone. Find out how to reach him there with the quick directions below.

Xur can be found in the EDZ at the Winding Cove in a cave. Follow these instructions to find him:

  3. Defeat the Fallen.
  4. Search the cliffside for a cave entrance.
  5. Enter the cave and find the Fallen Skiff to also find Xur.

  2. Turn left and run north toward the end of the area.
  3. Toward the top-left corner of the map, you will see a flight of stairs.
