[Last Chance] Destiny 2: Where Is Xur? Location And Exotic Weapons And Armor Guide (Jan. 18-22)

The Iron Banner is in full swing for one more day and the final Forge of The Black Armory has been unlocked, so there still plenty to do in Destiny 2 before the weekly reset. There's also a little more time to see Xur while he hangs around in the solar system, ready to sell to Guardians from his batch of Year One Exotic weapons and armor, before disappearing on Tuesday until next weekend. If you're still chasing Izanagi's Burden and have to wait three more weeks to complete the Dreaming City's Shattered Throne, Xur's offerings might tide you over.

You'll find Xur on Io for a few more hours. Head to the Giant's Scar region, then ride your sparrow north to look for a cave in the northwest wall of the area. As is always the case, he's offering three pieces of Exotic armor, one for each class, and an Exotic weapon. While all copies of Exotic guns are identical, it's worth checking out Xur's armor: Each piece of Exotic armor gets random perk roles, which means you might be able to buy a more useful version of something you already have.

This week's Exotic weapon is Vigilance Wing, an Exotic pulse rifle that packs a punch. Instead of the usual three-round burst of weapons in the pulse rifle class, Vigilance Wing fires five rounds with each pull of the trigger. It also gets more accurate when you're the last living person on your fireteam, which includes amping up your recovery time to make you a little more likely to survive--which makes it great for Crucible.

In the armor department, Hunters can snag the Orpheus Rig boots, which give you more shots in the Moebius Quiver version of the Shadowshot super, and gives you back ability energy for each enemy you tether with your Shadowshot arrows. For Warlocks, it's the Varity's Brow helmet, which is great if you have an energy weapon you particularly like. The helmet restores grenade energy for each energy weapon kill you make, for nearby allies as well as yourself. Finally, Titans get Hallowfire Heart, a chest armor piece that amps up the recharge rate of your solar abilities, especially when your Super is active.

Here are all the Exotics Xur offers this week and what they'll cost you:

• Vigilance Wing (Exotic pulse rifle) -- 29 Legendary Shards
• Hallowfire Heart (Exotic Titan chest armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
• Orpheus Rig (Exotic Hunter leg armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
• Verity's Brow (Exotic Warlock helmet) -- 23 Legendary Shards

You can also buy a Fated Engram, if you can afford it. Dropping 97 Legendary Shards on the item will grant you one Year One Exotic you don't already have for that character. Xur also offers the Five of Swords challenge card for free, which allows you to add difficulty modifiers that increase your score in Nightfall runs.

The Iron Banner this weekend also means you have something to do while we wait on the next big event of Destiny 2's ongoing content rollout. That's another Exotic weapon quest, known as The Draw, which drops on January 29. If you're hungry for even more Exotics, check out our guide for hunting down Jotunn, one of The Black Armory's best.
