This week at Xur in Destiny 2 (January 17 to 21): Exotics and Legendaries, Strange Coin farm, and more

Xur in Destiny 2 got a complete rework to his inventory. The Agent of the Nine follows a reputation system for everything and accepts only one specific currency due to the removal of Legendary Shards. It also seems as though Xur will be coming in one location every week, unlike what the players used to get before The Final Shape.

This article lists all the items Xur has brought in a week. He usually brings in exotic catalysts alongside the usual package of Exotic armor pieces, weapons, and Legendary weapons. Readers will find updated details on Xur every weekend throughout the Year 7 Episodes of The Final Shape.

Where is Xur Today in Destiny 2? Check Xur location for January 17 to 21, 2025

Xur can be found in the Bazaar location of the Tower. You can teleport to either the Annex or the Courtyard waypoint of the location, and head for the Ramen shop opposite Ikora. Look for a small alley beside the Ramen shop and you will find Xur there.

How to get to Xur's Location (January 17 to 21, 2025)

To get to Xur, teleport to the Annex or Courtyard of the Tower. If you spawn on Annex, go straight past Drifter's and Ada-1's rooms, and take the stairs that lead to Bazaar. Locate the Ramen shop and look for the alley beside it to find Xur.

From Courtyard, take a right past Banshee's shop and follow down the stairs. Take a right, go straight through the corridor with light decorations, and take a left that leads to the Bazaar. The Ramen shop will be to your right, alongside the small alley with Xur.
