Destiny 2 Xur location and items, Aug. 2-6

Head to the EDZ for some Exotics

Destiny 2 Xur

If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly Exotic item merchant. In Destiny 2, he’s back, and he now appears all over the map. This week, you can find Xur in the Tower hangar.

Xur’s inventory this week consists of the following:

  • The Huckleberry, submachine gun: 29 Legendary Shards
  • St0mp-EE5, Hunter legs: 23 Legendary Shards
  • One-Eyed Mask, Titan helmet: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Winter’s Guile, Warlock gauntlets: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Isochronal Engram: 97 Legendary Shards
  • Invitation quest: 9 Legendary Shards

Xur’s inventory caps out at 731 if you’re 750. He also offers specific rolls on each armor piece each week, giving out different perks for the same pieces.

The Huckleberry

The Huckleberry is an exotic from Warmind. Its intrinsic perk is Ride the Bull, which causes the gun to fire faster and have increased recoil the longer you hold the trigger. Kills with the gun partially reload the magazine. The Huckleberry’s secondary perk is rampage, which causes each kill to increase your damage for a short time.

The Huckleberry is a very fun gun to use. Its perks combine to offer you a little minigame of trying to fire for as long as you possibly can without having to reload. It may not be particularly useful in a lot of end-game content — although it has some PvP potential — but it’s a blast to use in Adventures, Public Events, and Escalation Protocol. Pick up The Huckleberry if you can afford it.

St0mp-EE5

St0mp-EE5 is a powerful traversal exotic for Hunters. The exotic perk, Hydraulic Boosters, increases slide and sprint speed, as well as increases jump height. This exotic is very strong in a myriad of situations. In PvE content, it can be great for getting where you need to go quickly. In PvP, it’s a perfect exotic to disorient foes and get to unexpected places quickly.

This week’s roll:

Slot 1: Fusion rifle dexterity, submachine gun dexterity, traction

Slot 2: Arrow scavenger, scout rifle scavenger

One-Eyed Mask

One-Eyed Mask is a Titan helmet from Forsaken, and it’s one of the best PvP Exotics in the game. Its Exotic perk is Vengeance. When enemies deal damage to you, you’ll mark them, allowing you to track them through walls. Killing marked targets gives you an Overshield and increases damage for a short time. This helmet is incredible; you need to have it if you have or will ever have a Titan.

This week’s roll:

Slot 1: Pulse rifle targeting, pump action, enhanced hand cannon targeting

Slot 2: Linear fusion rifle reserves, special ammo finder

Winter’s Guile

Winter’s Guile is a pretty sub-par exotic. The Warlord’s Sigil increases your melee damage after a melee kill. As you might imagine, this is very situational and rarely useful. Don’t worry about these unless you’re trying to fill our your collection.

This week’s roll:

Slot 1: Rocket launcher loader, momentum transfer, enhanced impact induction

Slot 2: Shotgun scavenger, sniper rifle scavenger

Invitation

If you haven’t completed the Invitation quest yet, Xur is still offering it for nine Legendary Shards.
