The weekend has arrived, meaning mysterious Destiny merchant Xur is back, as well. The vendor is the only one in the game to sell exotic weapons, and every week is different than the last.
A Guide To Exotic Gear In Destiny
Xur is always in a new location from one week to the next, and his stock differs every time. He appears on Friday and departs (usually early) on Sunday, offering one exotic armor item for each class, an exotic weapon, and an exotic engram to gamble on.
This week, Xur is located in the Hall of Guardians, where you find the Crucible and Vanguard vendors--down the main staircase in the center of the Tower. He's down to the left next to the Crucible Quartermaster, and has a pretty good offering this week.

It's all about the chest pieces this week for the armor, with The Armamentarium again on offer for Titans, the Lucky Raspberry for Hunters, and the Voidfang Vestments available for Warlocks. The exotic engram this week is a helmet, and costs you Motes of Light rather than Strange Coins.
The exotic weapon this week is really appealing, and you'll want to save your coins. It's the Patience and Time sniper rifle, which does a good amount of damage and has some very useful effects. You gain active camouflage while aiming down the sights, and the radar stays up when you're zoomed in. This makes it a great weapon to stand still and pick off enemies with, especially in the Crucible where a player can quickly sneak up on you if your radar is hidden. As usual, it'll cost you 17 Strange Coins.
