There’s a lot of great loot to find in Destiny 2 and its latest expansion, Forsaken. Among all the guns and armor you can find in your travels, those classified as “Exotic” are by far the coolest, most powerful, and most interesting. Almost all of them have interesting perks and gimmicks that can make them extremely useful.

Coming by exotic weapons and armor can be tough, though. Many of the items are locked behind difficult quests and those that aren’t usually come as extremely rare drops in the open world. There is one way to reliably get new exotics each week: Visiting Xur, a special character who hides on the worlds of Destiny 2 and only shows up at specific times.

Xur is a special vendor who sells exotic weapons and armor. Each week, he comes to the solar system with a slate of goods, including an exotic weapon and one piece of exotic armor for each character class. Lately, he’s also been carrying Fated Engrams, which guarantee players an exotic drop they don’t already have, from the collection of exotics from before the release of Forsaken.

The trouble with Xur is finding him. We always know when Xur will show up — at the daily reset on Friday, so 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern. The question is where Xur is. While previously in Destiny 2, Xur’s location was marked on the map each weekend, he’s now unmarked and thus tougher to find each weekend. Here’s where you need to go to track down Xur, the Agent of the Nine, and everything you need to know about what he’s offering this week.

Where to find Xur, November 2 – November 6

Xur is located on Nessus this week, in the northern area of Watcher’s Grave. He is on top of a tree, so you won’t see him at ground level.

To get to him, go around to the back side of the tree and start following the branches up. You should quite a few players gathering at his location.

Here’s the exact location of that tree.

And here’s what he has for wares.

Vigilance Wing — 29 Legendary Shards

The Vigilance Wing is a pulse rifle that allows you to shoot with greater accuracy and range than other weapons in its class, and a perk also give it faster reloading speed if the magazine is completely empty. Your handling speed should also be increased, and the weapon fires five rounds at a time instead of two or three.

Starfire Protocol — 23 Legendary Shards (Warlock)

Warlocks have access to the Starfire Protocol chest piece this week. The armor gives fusion grenades an additional charge, increases mobility and health recovery, increases your chance of finding primary ammunition after a kill, and reduces flinching while using Scout rifles.

Fr0st-EE5 — 23 Legendary Shards (Hunter)

Hunters can get the Fr0st-EE5 leg armor this week. The armor reduces cooldown on your grenade, dodge, and melee attacks, and dodging increases your sprint speed. It also gives increased mobility and resilience, and increases your chance of finding primary ammunition.

Armamentarium — 23 Legendary Shards (Titan

Titans get the Armamentarium chest armor. The armor gives you an additional grenade charge, increased health recovery and resilience, as well as less flinching while using submachine guns. Like the two others, you also will get an increased chance of finding primary ammunition.

Isochronal Engram — 97 Legendary Shards

You can only buy one of these Engrams per week, per account, but if you’re filling out your exotic collection, it’s worth it. The Isochronal Engram automatically gives you something you’re missing from the Destiny 2 Year 1 exotic set, which means everything from before Forsaken.

Five of Swords

This item is a special scorecard for Nightfall strikes, and it’s necessary for certain challenges. You can use the Five of Swords item to set modifiers for your Nightfall strikes, which helps you earn more points. That’s part of unlocking the Vanguard’s weekly challenge of earning 100,000 points on a Nightfall strike, as well as knocking out some of the game’s Nightfall Triumphs.
