The bargain slurry, 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 Today?

Xûr's location today can be found at Watcher's Grave on Nessus on August 4 through August 8. 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.

Xûr can be found atop the trees in Watcher's Grave on Nessus.

Exotic Engram

Merciless - Exotic Fusion Rifle

Shinobu's Vow - Exotic Hunter Gauntlets

  • 18 Mobility
  • 3 Resilience
  • 14 Recovery
  • 19 Discipline
  • 2 Intellect
  • 12 Strength
  • Total: 68

ACD/0 Feedback Fence - Exotic Titan Gauntlets

Some decently high stat totals are offset by somewhat wonky distributions for Hunters and Warlocks, but the Titan gloves are definitely a highlight -- lowest Mobility possible and spikey Resilience is really hard to beat. Grab those if you don't have a good set, for sure!

Exotic Weapons

Each week Xûr sells Hawkmoon & Dead Man's Tale.

  • Short-Action Stock

Pretty bad rolls for these exotics this week. I'd definitely recommend going back to sleep. I'll wake you when Xur comes to play.

Legendary Weapons

Honestly, it's pretty slim pickings this week, but Gnawing Hunger and Jian 7 have some potential. I don't know, man. Weapons this week are coming out about as hot as that State of the Game Bungie just put out.

Praefectus Mark

Titans must have spit in Xur's cereal, cause these rolls are amusingly bad! At least the helmet has some ridiculously spikey Recovery, but even that doesn't salvage them.

Hunters also got skunked. Xur, you're kinda lame sometimes, tbh.

That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! What did you think of Bungie's recent State of the Game update? Let us know in the comments! You might also want to check out the raid guide we put together to guide guardians through Lightfall's endgame activity.
