Destiny 2 Xur location: Where is Xur this week and what is he selling?

Xur will be back in Destiny and available to visit across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC platforms before the start of the weekend.

Other events will also kick off on January 7, including the return of Trials of Osiris, with Xur proving one of the biggest draws for Guardians.

Random rolls and several big-ticket exotic items can mean a bumper attendance of Guardians tracking down the Agent of the Nine.

Both activities offer rewards and new weapons and armour to unlock in the main game; however, while Trials requires you to score wins in a team of three, Xur only asks for Glimmer and Legendary Shards.

Xur is expected back in the game at around 5pm GMT with a new list of exotic weapons and Legendary armour pieces.

It should also be noted that the Destiny support team will not reveal his final location, and it will be up to Guardians to scope out all of his regular haunts.

A full report of what new exotics are available to buy will be shared within a few minutes of his return.

For those new to Destiny, the Legendary Shards used by Xur are remnants of powerful items used to improve gear or trade for other stuff.

It should also be noted that Xur will be dropping items similar in power level to your character.

And another part of Xur that is new to the latest version of Destiny 2 is that he now drops Cipher Quests for free.

The Quest will reward you with an exotic Cipher, and last week included completing 21 Strikes or winning the same number of Crucible or Gambit matches.

Every week, Guardians can acquire one Exotic Engram using Legendary Shards that will decrypt as Exotics that aren’t already in your collection.

Last week, Xur offered these Exotic rewards to those Guardians with the right number of Legendary Shards:

Vigilance Wing Primary Pulse Rifle for 29 Legendary Shards.

St0mp-EE5 Hunter Leg Armor for 23 Legendary Shards.

Heart of Inmost Light Titan Chest Armor for 23 Legendary Shards.

Sunbracers Warlock Gauntlets for 23 Legendary Shards.

And hopes are high that Bungie will start releasing the top weapons via Xur so that everyone can get ready to take on the new Witch Queen expansion launching in February 2022.
