Ryan Gilliam (he/him) has worked at Polygon for nearly seven years. He primarily spends his time writing guides for massively popular games like Diablo 4 & Destiny 2.

The weekly Exotic item merchant, Xur, hangs out in random locations around the world of Destiny. In Destiny 2, he can appear all over the map, as well as inside the Tower. This week, you can find Xur on Io, north of the Giant’s Scar landing zone, standing in the back of a cave.

Xur’s inventory this week consists of the following:

  • DARCI, Arc heavy sniper rifle: 29 Legendary Shards
  • The Sixth Coyote, Hunter chest: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Dunemarchers, Titan legs: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Claws of Ahamkara, Warlock gauntlets: 23 Legendary Shards
  • Exotic Engram: 97 Legendary Shards

Xur’s inventory caps out at 981 if you’re at 1000.

DARCI

The exotic perk on DARCI is Personal Assistant, which causes the gun to highlight critical information about the target when you’re aiming down the sight. While this bonus is active, DARCI will have better lock-on targeting and deal more precision damage.

With the Whisper of the Worm nerfs, DARCI is a boss-killing contender in Destiny 2. If you don’t have DARCI yet, pick it up.

The Sixth Coyote

The Sixth Coyote is an Exotic chest piece from Forsaken. Its Exotic perk is Double Dodge, which is exactly what it sounds like: Hunter players can hold two stacks of their class ability, dodge.

This could be a great chest piece if you’re underleveled, since it makes getting out of danger so easy. If you just need to go invisible and resurrect your allies more often, this is the perfect piece of gear to pair with Nightstalker.

Xur’s roll this week is Void, and comes with 47 total stats.

Dunemarchers

Dunemarchers are excellent Titan boots that everyone should pick up. Their exotic perk, Linear Actuators, increases your sprint speed and causes your next melee after sprinting to chain damage to nearby foes. The secondary part of this perk is almost unnoticeable. The reason you want Dunemarchers is to increase your speed. This exotic is awesome for PvP, and can even come in handy on some raid fights like The Gauntlet. If you don’t have these boots for your Titan, be sure to grab them.

Xur’s roll this week is Arc, and comes with 50 total stats.

Claws of Ahamkara

The Claws of Ahamkara are Warlock gauntlets added in Destiny 2’s Warmind expansion. Their exotic perk, The Whispers, grants any Warlock that wears these gloves an extra melee charge. Warlocks have some pretty powerful melee abilities, so these are great gloves if you love getting up close with your enemies.

Xur’s roll this week is Arc, and comes with 48 total stats.
