Destiny 2: Where Is Xur This Week? Exotic Items / Location Guide (Jan. 29-Feb. 2)

A lot of changes to rewards are coming with the next season of Destiny 2, as Bungie recently outlined in its blog. Those changes will hit the game with its next content season, set to launch on February 9. In the meantime, you can still visit Xur ahead of the season's end to prepare for what's coming next in Destiny 2 by picking up some fresh new Exotics for your collection. Head to Nessus, to the Watcher's Grave area, to find Xur this week. For his weapon, Xur is offering Graviton Lance. Hunters can pick up the Shinobi's Vow gauntlets; for Titans, there's the Armamentarium chest armor; and for Warlocks, Xur has Getaway Artist gauntlets.

Xur Location

Use the Watcher's Grave transmat zone on Nessus. Once you spawn in, hop on a sparrow and head north toward the big tree just ahead of you, growing up against the east side of the area. Climb up into the tree and you'll find Xur standing on one of its branches, looking out over the area.

Xur Exotic Items

A tried-and-true pulse rifle, Graviton Lance is the sort of Exotic you can feel comfortable with in just about any situation. It rips apart enemies with bullets that create black holes while also exploding to send Void projectiles out into the world to do more damage--perfect for both PvE and PvP. 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 new Xenology Quest, which rewards an Exotic Cipher you can use to purchase Exotics from either Xur or the Tower's Monument to Lost Lights. The quest requires you to either complete Strikes or win matches in Gambit and the Crucible.

Graviton Lance (Pulse Rifle)

It's been around for years, but Graviton Lance is still a solid Exotic, whether you're in PvP or PvE. It's a Void pulse rifle with a couple of special perks, firing a burst of three rounds. The second round in that burst does massive extra damage thanks to tearing a black hole in its target, so you want to try to tune your aim to land headshots with the middle of the burst as the rifle bucks upwards. Kill an enemy with Graviton Lance and they'll explode, sending tracking Void projectiles that do even more damage. Graviton's extra projectiles make it great against lots of enemies in PvE, and its range makes it effective in PvP as well.

Shinobu's Vow (Hunter)

Skip grenades get a significant boost when you equip Shinobu's Vow. The Exotic gives you a second charge of the Arc grenade, which sends tiny projectiles out after your enemies when you bounce the grenade off the ground. Shinobu's Vow enhances those projectiles, making them more powerful, while also giving you grenade energy for any damage they do to enemies--so you get more Skip grenades quicker.

Armamentarium (Titan)

The benefit of Armamentarium is simple: You get a second grenade charge. There are no fancy requirements to get it depending on doing damage or taking on certain enemies--you just get more grenades. Pair this Exotic with a Discipline-heavy build and you can blow up a lot of things real good.

Stats:

• Mobility: 15
• Resilience: 8
• Recovery: 11
• Discipline: 6
• Intellect: 19
• Strength: 7
• Total: 66

Getaway Artist (Warlock)

Creating Arc Souls as a Warlock can give you an edge in battle--the little energy balls act as turrets, blasting away at your foes and providing you with extra damage or the ability to shoot more than one target at a time. Getaway Artist allows you to convert your Arc grenade into a souped-up Arc Soul, which lasts longer and does more damage than the normal kind you get from Arc rifts. That makes Getaway Artist great in a lot of scenarios, including helping you with covering fire when you need to get clear of a fight.

• Mobility: 2
• Resilience: 27
• Recovery: 3
• Discipline: 10
