Exotic Armor

Orpheus Rig (Exotic Hunter leg armor)

Where_Is_Xur_Today___January_12_16__Destiny_2_Exotic_Items_And_Xur_Location_Guide Orpheus RigFor the Hunter looking to get some extra functionality out of their Void Super, Orpheus Rig is pretty handy. Each target tethered by a Deadfall Anchor will reward you with ability energy and you get an additional shot from your Moebius Quiver. This build has low resilience, but it does have high mobility, recovery, and intellect stats.

Mobility: 12
Resilience: 2
Recovery: 19
Discipline: 12
Intellect: 10
Strength: 9
Total: 64

Mk. 44 Stand Asides (Exotic Titan leg armor)

!Where_Is_Xur_Today___January_12_16__Destiny_2_Exotic_Items_And_Xur_Location_GuideMk. 44 Stand AsidesIf you're a big fan of using the charged Titan melee attacks like Seismic Strike, Hammer Strike, and Shield Bash, this Exotic gives you some extra survivability when you're sprinting around a map. If any of those melee abilities are equipped and charged while you have full health, you'll gain an Overshield while sprinting. Even better, this Exotic has a very high Resilience stat to help maximize your chances of staying alive and clobbering the opposition when you charge into them. Recovery and discipline are low, but strength and intellect are quite high as well on this roll.

Mobility: 8
Resilience: 25
Recovery: 2
Discipline: 2
Intellect: 16
Strength: 14
Total: 67

Wings of Sacred Dawn (Exotic Warlock armor)

!Where_Is_Xur_Today___January_12_16__Destiny_2_Exotic_Items_And_Xur_Location_GuideWings of Sacred DawnWings of Sacred Dawn is a strange Exotic, as it'll briefly suspend you in midair when you aim your weapon. It's an Exotic for highly specific scenarios, and its other benefits include reduced flinching when under fire, increased resilience, Solar weapon perks, and a big increase to the airborne effectiveness stat of all weapons. The stats on this Exotic provide high mobility, intellect, and discipline, while strength and recovery will need to be buffed if you decide to roll with it.

Mobility: 20
Resilience: 11
Recovery: 3
Discipline: 17
Intellect: 14
Strength: 2

Exotic Weapons

Merciless (Exotic fusion rifle)

!Where_Is_Xur_Today___January_12_16__Destiny_2_Exotic_Items_And_Xur_Location_GuideMercilessMerciless is a great Exotic option for when you're facing physically imposing bosses with even bigger health bars. Solar weapons are some of the best tools to use this season, and every hit that you land on an enemy will decrease the charge time of Merciless for a short duration.

Hawkmoon (Exotic hand cannon)

!Where_Is_Xur_Today___January_12_16__Destiny_2_Exotic_Items_And_Xur_Location_GuideHawkmoonFeel free to skip Hawkmoon this week, unless you really want an odd roll version of the hand cannon to add to your arsenal. Hip-Fire Grip gives you increased accuracy, stability, and precision hit targeting when firing from the hip, but it's not a dramatically noticeable difference in the grand scheme of things.

Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET each Friday. His exact location is always a mystery when he first arrives, as he is not listed on the map, and for novice players, he can be easy to miss. However, there are a set number of locations where he takes up residence, including the Tower Hangar area, on Nessus in Watcher's Grave, and in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ.
