Destiny 2: Where's Xur Today? Location And Exotic Items Guide (Aug. 7-11)

Next week marks another Destiny 2 seasonal activity: the Solstice of Heroes. The summertime event brings a new region to play through, the European Aerial Zone, and new armor to chase down. Xur's back this weekend with a new crop of Exotics to help you get the most out of the new event. Here's where to find him and what he's selling.

Head to Nessus to find Xur this week, in the Watcher's Grave area. For his weapon, Xur is offering Merciless. Hunters can pick up the Gemini Jester leg armor; for Titans, there's the Peregrine Greaves leg armor; and for Warlocks, Xur has the Nezarec's Sin helmet.

Xur Location

Spawn in at the Watcher's Grave transmat zone and hop on your sparrow heading north. Head for Calus's golden barge. Climb aboard and look for Xur standing on the deck, waiting for you.

Xur Exotic Items

Xur's got another great Exotic fusion rifle to offer you this week with Merciless. It's not quite the PvP favorite that Telesto is, but Merciless can get a lot done in both PvP and PvE, thanks to its quick charge time and boosted damage. If you're not a fan of the 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.

• Exotic Engram -- 97 legendary shards
• Merciless -- 29 legendary shards
• Gemini Jester -- 23 legendary shards
• Peregrine Greaves -- 23 legendary shards
• Nezarec's Sin -- 23 legendary shards
• Five of Swords -- free

Merciless

As Exotics and fusion rifles go, you can do a lot worse than Merciless, a powerful rifle that helps you keep firing until you get the kill. The gun gets a shortened charge time whenever you fire a blast that doesn't wind up being lethal, making it great for when you're in the middle of a tense firefight with other Guardians, or for laying down boss damage. When you do finally kill something, Merciless gets a damage boost after you reload, giving you an incentive to keep disintegrating your enemies over and over.

Gemini Jester (Hunter)

If you like to get close to your enemies and dodge a lot, Gemini Jester can give you an edge. The leg armor disorients enemies and removes their radar when you dodge near them, giving you a chance to take advantage and finish them off. You get the effect in both PvP and PvE, so try it in a variety of situations.

Peregrine Grieves (Titan)

Power up your should charges with Peregrine Grieves. The Exotics encourage you to make your moves more aerial--whenever you do a shoulder charge while you're in the air, you'll deal bonus damage. Titans who like aerial builds can really make the most of their melee with this one.

Nezarec's Sin (Warlock)

This helmet is a trusty Exotic for Warlocks, especially if you're a fan of Nova Bomb and Void Warp. Whenever you get kills with Void damage, Nezarec's Sin amps up the recharge rate of your abilities. Pair it with Void abilities and Void weapons, and you can get your Supers, grenades, and melees back very quickly. Nezarec's is great in PvE, but handy in PvP too, especially if your build doesn't require a different Exotic.
