What is Xur Selling? An Overview of the Popular Destiny 2 Vendor

It seems like everywhere you turn when you play Destiny 2, you’re hearing rumors of a mysterious traveling merchant called Xur. For Guardians, this man represents a chance at some of the best equipment and weapons available in the game. But what is Xur selling and how can you get your hands on his specials? Let’s take a closer look.

Who is Xur and What Items Does He Sell?

Xur is an in-game vendor (or agent of the Nine) that some players like to describe as Destiny 2’s equivalent of Santa Claus. He’s a mysterious figure who can appear anywhere in the world at any time on the weekends. When Xur arrives, players can look forward to finding a range of items, from Legendary Engrams to Exotic Weapons and Armor. He also offers a Fated Engram, a piece of legendary gear that gives players a random Exotic weapon or piece of armor.

Xur also has a special way of providing players with a service called the Three of Coins, governed by the mysterious Nine–a group of powerful entities that represent forces throughout Destiny 2’s universe. Using this service, players can improve their chances of receiving Exotic Engrams when they defeat enemies with certain power levels.

How Do I Find and Buy What Xur is Selling?

Thanks to his random appearances, finding Xur is a case of searching the entire game world – the maps, spaceships, and locations – until you spot his icon on the Director Map. As you get closer, his location is revealed on the world map. You can also check your in-game messages or wait until the Tower receives an urgent broadcast.

Once you’ve located Xur, simply talk to him, use his services, and purchase what he’s selling using Glimmer, Legendary Shards, and Enhancement Cores. For convenience, you can access all of Xur’s offers from the main screen of your Director Map.

Conclusion

Xur is one of the fan-favorite vendors in Destiny 2 and is always sure to bring something new to the game every week. His randomized appearances and the range of items he sells make him a refreshing surprise each time he turns up. He also gives players the chance to find some of the most powerful weapons and armor available in the game, adding to their arsenal and helping them progress faster in their missions. Next time you play, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Xur!
