Where Is Xur? Destiny 2 Xur Location And Exotic Items Guide (Oct. 12-16)
The weekend is upon us, which for Destiny 2 players means that Xur–the mysterious merchant who’s here to either delight or disappoint you–has arrived. He’s got another slate of Exotic items for sale, which you have a limited time to buy. Here’s where to find Xur and what he’s selling for this week.
Xur’s Year 2 appearances have seen him return to his same old locations, and this visit is no different. Right now, you can find Xur on Titan. Head to the The Rig landing zone, turn left, and make your way through the open building. Once you reach the next wide open area, turn left again and drop down one floor. You’ll find Xur hanging out in a building, as seen in the map below; you can also watch our video above for guidance on how to reach him.
In terms of items, it’s the standard lineup: one Exotic armor for each class, and one Exotic weapon. The weapon is Tractor Cannon, the Portal gun-looking shotgun that prevents affected enemies from using abilities and makes them take more damage, especially from void. More entertainingly, however, it also blasts enemies backwards.
For armor, Titans get the Synthoceps gauntlets, which increases how far you can lunge with a melee attack and provides you with more melee and Super damage when surrounded by enemies. Hunters can pick up the Gemini Jester leg armor, which provides your dodge with some added perks: it disorients enemies and causes their radar to disappear temporarily. Warlocks can grab the Sanguine Alchemy chest armor; this buffs your Rift to provide you and allies with some enhancements. This includes being able to see your radar when aiming down sights and visual markers being placed on powerful enemies. You might already own this armor, but bear in mind that these are Year 2 versions that feature more perks than the versions from Year 1 you might have.
- Tractor Cannon (Exotic Shotgun) — 29 Legendary Shards
- Synthoceps (Exotic Titan gauntlets) — 23 Legendary Shards
- Gemini Jester (Exotic Hunter leg armor) — 23 Legendary Shards
- Sanguine Alchemy (Exotic Warlock chest armor) — 23 Legendary Shards
Alongside these specific items for sale, Xur offers the Fated Engram. This is expensive, at 97 Legendary Shards, but it guarantees you a Year One Exotic you don’t already own, so it’s a good way to fill out your collection, provided you can afford it.
Although this week didn’t bring with it much in the way of new content, aside from the latest Ascendant Challenge, there is a lot coming soon. Tuesday, October 16, will see the release of the first of two big updates launching for the game this month. This patch will coincide with the debut of Festival of the Lost, Destiny 2’s Halloween-themed event, as well as the next instance of Iron Banner. Unlike the first instance of the multiplayer activity after Forsaken’s release, this one will have easier bounties, and each one will offer a piece of Powerful gear as a reward.

AC Odyssey: Every ‘Romanceable’ Character
A Frankenstein Manga From Silent Hills Artist Junji Ito
If you’re remotely into Japanese horror fare, you’re probably familiar with legendary manga artist Junji Ito. Many fans were heartbroken to learn after the cancellation of Hideo Kojima and Guilermo Del Toro’s Silent Hills that Ito had been involved with the project.
Thankfully, Ito has plenty of other work to fuel your nightmares, and with a steadily growing western fanbase, more and more of Ito’s work is being collected, translated, and published outside of Japan.
The latest of these releases is Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection, a hefty 400-pages hardcover anthology from Viz that includes not only Ito’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s iconic horror tale, but also several short stories about phantasms and revolting blob people.
Star Trek: What’s Next for Emperor Georgiou After the Mirror Universe?
Emperor Philippa Georgiou is back! Well, former emperor anyway, because in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, Michelle Yeoh’s Mirror Universe character will now be serving as a member of Section 31, Starfleet’s black ops arm. With her long history of assassination, intrigue, and arrogance, she’s perfect for the job, don’t you think?
I caught up with Yeoh at New York Comic-Con, where she filled me in on Georgiou’s new gig, her ongoing relationship with Michael Burnham, how the character feels about being stuck in the Prime Universe, and more. Read on for the full chat…
