Xur today is ready to kick off May with a bang. But, first, we need to know where the Destiny 2 Xur location is, so we can find the mysterious merchant and get a handle on what he’s selling as part of his Xur inventory. There will almost definitely be some Forsaken Exotics up for grab, so we’ll find where Xur is for you just minutes after he arrives, as well as offering up the Xur start time, so you can join in on the hunt alongside us! It’s all down below in our comprehensive look at Xur today, May 3.
Destiny 2 Xur Location | Where is Xur Today? (May 3)
Last week, Xur was on Titan, so we can effectively rule that one out this time around. We’ll know for sure when the Xur start time rolls around (see below), but we know he’s going to be on one of Io, Nessus, the EDZ, or the Tower. He can’t be on any DLC planets, such as Mars or Mercury, so we can cross those off our list too.
Destiny 2 Xur location: Io in a cave close to the Giant’s Scar Landing Zone.
Destiny 2 Xur Start Time | When Does Xur Arrive Today? (May 3)
Thankfully, things are a lot more straightforward when it comes to the Destiny 2 Xur start time on May 3. If you’re in the US then it’s a case of being ready at 10:00 AM Pacific/1:00 PM Eastern.
In the UK, the Xur start time has a far more comfortable end of the working week feel to it: 6:00 PM BST.
Destiny 2 Xur Inventory | What is Xur Selling Today? (May 3)
Every week, the Xur inventory contains one piece of armor per class and just the one weapon. That’s no different this week, but things are spiced up with the recent addition of Forsaken Exotics into the mix.
- Leg Armor (Titan): Antaeus Wards (23 Legendary Shards)
- Leg Armor (Hunter): Gemini Jester (23 Legendary Shards)
- Gauntlets (Warlock): Contraverse Hold (23 Legendary Shards)
- Weapon: The Huckleberry Submachine Gun (29 Legendary Shards)
Elsewhere, one of the final Xur bounties is on offer: The Invitation of the Nine goes for nine Legendary Shards. Meanwhile, you can get an Isochronal Engram, which guarantees a new Year One non-Forsaken Exotic, for 97 Legendary Shards.
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.
