Xur Location

Spawn in at the Winding Cove transmat zone and look to the north. Hop on your sparrow and drive up the road on your left to reach the cliff face bordering the area. You'll see a crashed Fallen dropship above you. Make your way up, either by climbing or using the nearby cave path, to find Xur standing beside the ship near the cliff's edge.

Climb the cliff in Winding Cove to track down Xur.

Xur Exotic Items

If you don't already have it, be sure to nab Xur's weekly weapon offering, The Colony, and take it into next week's Iron Banner competition. The Exotic grenade launcher fires spider robots that track targets, chase them down, and blow them up--perfect for PvP fire-and-forget situations. As for armor, all of Xur's Exotics now comes with much higher stats than in past seasons, making them all worthy of your consideration. If you're not a fan of his other options, Xur also sells an Exotic engram that will decrypt into an Exotic you don't already own. He also has the Five of Swords challenge card, which lets you enable modifiers for Nightfall Strikes.

The Colony

The Colony will nearly guarantee you some kills in PvP, if you can snag Heavy ammo.
The Colony will nearly guarantee you some kills in PvP, if you can snag Heavy ammo.

The Colony is a longstanding PvP standby, and for good reason. It's the kind of gun that usually guarantees kills if you manage to snag Heavy ammo in any given match. It first robot grenades that run along the ground and climb walls to chase down targets, making them very hard to avoid--perfect for getting hard-to-chase prey.

Young Ahamkara Spine (Hunter)

Power up your Tripmines with Young Ahamkara's Spine, which can make them very deadly if you're cunning in the Crucible.

Hunters who like Tripmine grenades will find a lot of utility in the Young Ahamkara Spine gauntlets. The Exotic amps your grenades significantly, making tripmines last longer and blow up bigger. If you manage to get kills with them, you get grenade energy back, as well. Tripmines can be particularly effective in PvP if you're careful with where you place them and when you use them, and with Young Ahamkara Spine, they can be pretty devastating.

Stats:

  • Mobility: 7
  • Resilience: 11
  • Recovery: 14
  • Discipline: 6
  • Intellect: 11
  • Strength: 14
  • Total: 63

Synthoceps (Titan)

Synthoceps give you additional melee and Super damage when you're surrounded, but you might like the increased melee lunge range even more.
Synthoceps give you additional melee and Super damage when you're surrounded, but you might like the increased melee lunge range even more.

Synthoceps make Titans into melee monsters, especially in dangerous situations. The gauntlets increase your melee lunge range, which is great in PvP situations, and gives you increased melee and Super damage when you're surrounded, which can be helpful just about anywhere. If you want more effective melees, give Synthoceps a try.

Stats:

  • Mobility: 9
  • Resilience: 8
  • Recovery: 14
  • Discipline: 9
  • Intellect: 13
  • Strength: 9
  • Total: 62

Phoenix Protocol (Warlock)

Getting more Wells of Radiance more often is why Phoenix Protocol a must-have for Warlocks.
Getting more Wells of Radiance more often is why Phoenix Protocol a must-have for Warlocks.

For Warlocks reliant on Well of Radiance in situations like raids and other high-level content, Phoenix Protocol is an Exotic you want in the regular rotation. Though it's not as powerful as it once was, the chest armor still is extremely useful for getting you more Well Supers more often. While standing in your well, you get Super energy for any kills and assists you make--which means you can get your Well back more quickly if you're wiping out a lot of enemies with your fireteam. The more Wells you can cast, the more likely you are to survive tough encounters, so you'll want this one handy for tough activities.

Stats:

  • Mobility: 10
  • Resilience: 8
  • Recovery: 15
  • Discipline: 8
  • Intellect: 14
  • Strength: 6
  • Total: 61
