What is Xur selling today in Destiny 2? (July 5 - 9)
Destiny 2's Xur is a vendor of exotic items whose location and inventory change every weekend. Destiny 2 players love their exotic weapons and armour, with many character builds hinging on ensuring you have the right exotic weapon or piece of armour. Xur will sell you all kinds of exotic goods, provided you can pinpoint him on the game's map.
The trouble is, The Final Shape has given Xur a big shakeup. Here's everything we know for July 5 - 9, including his new location, reputation system, and more.
Where is Xur on July 5 - 9?
Before The Final Shape, Xur had three locations where he liked to appear; The Tower, The Winding Cove in the EDZ, and Watcher's Grave on Nessus. There is no rhyme or reason to his location, but he'd always be in one of them. Since Final Shape, however, he's popped up next to Cayde's favourite ramen shop, and Bungie has confirmed that's where we'll find him every week now.
Unsure where that is? Check our map below.

Usually, Xur has a stock of exotic weapons and armour. Specifically, he had one exotic weapon, and one piece of exotic armour for each class. Now, it appears he's selling Catalysts, too, and multiple weapons spread across different areas and price ranges.

He also consistently sells the Hawkmoon exotic hand cannon. Dead Man's Tale, however, must be earned through the Exotic Mission Rotator found as part of the Destiny 2 Weekly Reset. Look out for when the 'Presage' mission appears.
What is Xur selling this week?
As of 6 PM BST/10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT on July 5, Xur is selling:
- Fighting Lion Catalyst (71 Strange Coins)
- Prometheus Catalyst (71 Strange Coins)
- Liar's Handshake (41 Strange Coins)
- Mk.44 Stand Asides (41 Strange Coins)
- Stormdancer's Brace (41 Strange Coins)
- 3x Crucible Engrams (31 Strange Coins)
I definitely recommend the Liar's Handshake, which helps complete one of the best Prismatic builds. It has a 68 stat roll.
For his Strange Gear offers, he had the following for 23 Strange Coins:
- Hawkmoon (with Killing Wind)
- Cerberus +1
- Wavesplitter
- The Wardcliff Coil
Finally, he's also offering a Favor of the Nine which increases the Strange Coin drop rate, as well as various materials.
Xur also has rank rewards thanks to his new reputation system:
- Rank 2 - Strange Engram
- Rank 4 - 7 Enhancement Cores
- Rank 7 - 3 Enhancement Prisms
- Rank 10 - 2 Exotic Engrams
- Rank 13 - Ascendant Shard
- Rank 16 - Ascendant Alloy
- Rank 18 - Reset Rank, allowing for Tier 3 Exotic Focusing (also includes Exotic Cipher)
Legendary weapons & armour
Click to enlargeAlong with the exotic items, Xur has a stock of legendary items as well. These items are not necessarily as exciting as the exotics, but can be useful for filling out any gaps in your collection.
This week, Xur is selling the Kairos Function armour set for all classes if you need it for your collection, but it'll set you back 17 Strange Coins per item in the set.
He also has the following Legendary Weapons:
- Escape Velocity (Submachine Gun)
- Nature of the Beast (Hand Cannon)
- Main Ingredient (Fusion Rifle)
- Gnawing Hunger (Auto Rifle)
- Canis Major (Grenade Launcher)
- Sailspy Pitchglass (Linear Fusion Rifle)
- Eternity's Edge (Warlock Sword)
After a middling week last week, Xur has brought his A-game this time. The Gnawing Hunger and Main Ingredient Rolls are very solid, as is Escape Velocity and Eternity's Edge. Each will set you back 17 Strange Coins.
