Destiny: Xur's Location And Exotic Wares For Jan. 2-4

If you haven't bought the new DLC, then you can't buy anything from Xur this week: all of his purchasable Exotics are exclusive to DLC owners.

Xur, everyone’s favorite shadowy merchant, is back at Destiny‘s Tower with a variety of exotic goods to exchange for hard-earned Strange Coins.

The offworld merchant has a full compliment of completely fresh exotics up for grabs, including Mk. 44 Stand Asides, the game’s first pair of exotic boots–which happen to look pretty snazzy on a Titan–that deliver an extra boost for Striker’s Shoulder Charge.

But it’s hard to replace my Helm of Saint-14, so I might pass.

Xur, Agent of the Nine is in the Hanger, directly downstairs below the Future War Cult handler.

This time around the Agent of the Nine can be found in the hangar, below the Future War Cult handler. Follow the path down the stairs past the Vanguard Quartermaster Roni 55-30 and continue down and down to a sort of bar-like niche. There you’ll find Xur, tucked in a faraway corner.

Other new items include a pair of unique Hunter gauntlets that temporarily turn you invisible when you’re hit by a melee attack (pretty damn useful), and a Warlock chestpiece that awards an extra Fusion grenade (those super handy sticky ‘nades that emit devastating Solar energy) as well as giving the wearer extra Fusion Rifle ammo.

Below we have a full breakdown for Xur’s exotic wares for Week 17 lasting from Jan. 2 – 4 in Destiny.
