Finding Xur today in Destiny 2 is the most important location hunt in, well, ever. That’s because Xur is selling Forsaken Exotics from today, March 8. So, we’ll have the full lowdown on what’s being sold in the Xur inventory, as well as, of course, the Destiny 2 Xur location. Because he’s not coming to you, that’s for sure. Along the way, we’ll also have a gander at the Xur start time for those who want to be ahead of the game and get to him first. So, let’s have at it: here’s everything you need to know about Xur today.
Destiny 2 Xur Location | Where is Xur Today? (March 8)
Every week, Xur appears at one of only five locations, and he doesn’t tread foot on any of the DLC planets, such as Mars or Mercury. That makes the task of finding him that much easier.
Xur location for March 8-12: The Tower (Traveler) by the stairs at the back of the Hangar.
Destiny 2 Xur Start Time | When Does Xur Arrive Today? (March 8)
Thankfully, there isn’t anything new to take into account when it comes to the Xur start time today. The merchant rocks up at 12 PM Eastern. That’s 5 PM GMT for those of you across the pond in the UK and a bleary-eyed 9 AM Pacific if you’re on the West Coast.
Remember, Xur doesn’t stick around for very long. He’s leaving again on Tuesday, March 12 at 12 PM Eastern.
Destiny 2 Xur Inventory – What is Xur Selling Today? (March 8)
Remember, the Xur inventory contains Forsaken Exotics this week. WIthout further ado, here it is:
- Gauntlets (Titan): Ursa Furiosa [Forsaken Exotic] (23 Legendary Shards)
- Gauntlets (Hunter): Oathkeeper [Forsaken Exotic] (23 Legendary Shards)
- Gauntlets (Warlock): Ophidian Aspect (23 Legendary Shards)
- Weapon: Trinity Ghoul Combat Bow [Forsaken Exotic] (29 Legendary Shards)
If you fancy a roll of the dice, you can also pick up an Isochronal Engram for 97 Legendary Shards. This will guarantee you a Year One Exotic you’ve not had in a drop before, though you won’t get a Forsaken Exotic from it. Sorry about that!
Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons

Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons
One of the main draws of Destiny is the guns. This is a loot shooter through and through, and Bungie has crafted a huge arsenal of interesting firearms to go after. While there are many standard weapons, a handful of rare selections really push the envelope. Here are Destiny's 10 most exotic weapons. -
Bad Juju
A fantastic Pulse Rifle, Bad Juju's main aesthetic is death. That skeletal spine and skull hood ornament really make it stand out from the crowd. The gun also rewards successive kills, so you can feed it more death and charge your super move at the same time. -
Fighting Lion
A sterling silver grenade launcher, the Fighting Lion's magnificent big cat finish is just the most obvious of its advantages. It's got all the buffs you'd want from a noob tube and it blasts apart shields on direct hits. Certainly, a great option if you're looking to shake things up. -
Gjallarhorn
A legend among legends, Gjallarhorn was the exotic to grab during both its reigns over Destiny's meta. It's a flaming rocket launcher with a huge silver eagle etched onto the top. The rockets it fires can be upgraded to split into tracking "wolfpack" rounds, meaning that no one is running away. -
Sleeper Simulant
When you say the words Fusion Rifle, you think of something that looks like the Sleeper Simulant. The prototype rail gun look is definitely in. The lasers it fires goes straight through enemies and also ricochets off walls. It's an easy way to score a triple kill if you're good with your aim. -
Telesto
Do you want a fusion rifle that shoots black holes? Or "void blasts" as the Destiny people might say? Telesto is your gun. While it looks like a random configuration from Borderlands' weapon generator, its large range and ability to reload your spare guns make it a great choice in the field. -
The Wardcliff Coil
OK, we may have said that Sleeper Simulant looked like a prototype, but this Wardcliff Coil looks like a prototype of that prototype. It's as if someone tore parts off of a passing space station and then used a genie to wish them into a gun. What a cool look. -
Touch Of Malice
With the Touch Of Malice, you can't help but feel Bungie reaching back into its past. Sure, this exotic scout rifle doesn't fire grenades, but it sure does look a whole lot like the Brute Shot. It's got that weird side handle and the underslung blade. Either way, a great design. -
Trinity Ghoul
One of two bows introduced in the latest Destiny 2 expansion, the Trinity Ghoul proves that Bungie is more than happy to break the rules of its own FPS. Sure, you'd probably rather have a minigun, but maybe some snipers might enjoy going back to basics with this most historic of weapons. -
Two-Tailed Fox
The Two-Tailed Fox is enormous. A huge colorful rocket launcher, it fires two distinct projectiles, each with a different payload. One fires void, the black hole juice we mentioned earlier. The other fires Solar, which involves burning your target. Combined, it's just not a very good time for whoever's on the receiving end. -
Worldline Zero
Much like the Bows introduced in Forsaken, the original Destiny had a whole class of weapon that didn't involve bullets and ammo. They were swords, and there are now quite a few blades to choose from. Perhaps the Crucible could use a Medieval Mode now that both are in the game.
