Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for March 4
The spaghetti-faced shady merchant, Xur, is now living in Destiny 2 for the weekend before resetting next week. If you’re looking to get some shiny new exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.
Each week Xur receives a random set of exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random exotic weapon and an exotic engram available for purchase. In addition to his exotic goods, he has a random collection of legendary weapons and armor to spruce up your Guardians.
We’ve rounded up all of Xûr’s info for the week, including where to find Xûr, what exotic weapons and armor are available, and what legendary weapons you should pick up for PvE or PvP.
Where is Zur today?
Zura can be found at Tower on the March 4 until March 8th. To get to it, head to the landing pad in the yard and go to the hangar. You will find an old snake face near the stairs at the back of the hangar.
What is Zur selling today?
Xur has been having an odd couple of weeks lately. His armor this week has all the same stats that you can take from your collections. If you’re looking for a good weapon for the new Witch Queen’s Throneworld playground, there are some decent options, but nothing outstanding.

Exotic weapons
Since the release of The Witch Queen, Zur has also offered a weekly list of books for Hawkmoon and Dead Man’s Tale.
Hawkmoon – Exotic Hand Cannon
- Paracausal Shot
- Polygon rifling
- alloy magazine
- sketch
- Combat grip
Dead Man’s Tale – Exotic Scout Rifle
- skull spike
- Free section, through passage
- Steady Rounds
- moving target
- Short action stock
sun shot – A great option due to its ability to turn enemies into explosive fireballs and deal insane damage to smaller enemies. Dead Man’s Tale actually the only decent roll in Xur’s entire inventory this week. If you don’t have this weapon, take it. If you have it, consider taking this roll anyway, as the Vorpal Weapon perk works particularly well with this high damage scout.
Also, this week’s Xur Exotic Armor is absolutely terrible due to the incredibly low stats. Please don’t waste your precious Legendary Shards on these items if you don’t need them for your collection.

To be honest, this week’s legendary weapons aren’t as legendary as one might hope – definitely not God. But a few standout abilities like throwing Frozen Orbit can be useful in PvP where being able to quickly switch weapons and fast ADS is important. Also, the sword has a good set of DPS perks, and the submachine gun can be useful if you’re into field training. However, you’re not missing out on anything if you want to skip Xur altogether this week.

Communication vs Extinction
Unless, for some reason, you really don’t want low stat armor that’s freakishly focused on a Strength-only build, it’s unlikely this week’s Warlock armor will be of any use to you.
Legendary Titan Armor
For the Titans, Xûr sells the Anti-Extinction Kit, which includes:

Sign against extinction
Again, the Titan’s armor is all about strength and low stats. If you enjoy punching (and what Titan doesn’t?), then this might be useful in a few bizarre circumstances, but it’s usually so low that you probably don’t want to use it.
