Xur can be found in Tower North. When you spawn into the Tower, turn to your left and run up the steps and into the building. Follow the corridor all the way to where you would turn left to visit with the Speaker, only look to your right. You will find Xur standing next to a large gate, just at the bottom of some steps. If you still aren’t sure where to go, just follow the line of Guardians who are headed in his direction.
Xur has some pretty good stuff for today. We say that because most Guardians have almost no Year 2 exotics, so anything is better than nothing. In fact, we bought everything he had, including a couple of helmet engrams for good measure. Take a look at his stock.
If you are looking for advice, buy everything but the Legacy Engram. That is just a Year 1 Exotic, so right now it’s not really going to help you to advance your characters in Year 2. If you are someone who runs all three Guardian types, buy up all the armor, as well as couple of the Helmet engrams if you can afford them. This will help you to begin filling out your exotic armor inventory as quickly as possible.
The Three of Coins is also something you’ll want to pick up. Actually, you’ll want to grab several, as they are only going to run you 7 Strange Coins each. These buffs give you an increased chance of getting an exotic drop when you kill an Ultra, and it’s stackable. If you’re wondering what an Ultra is, it’s an enemy with a yellow health bar, such as Valus Mau’ual or Valus Tlu’urn from the Shield Brothers Strike that came with The Taken King. Just so we’re clear, don’t go equipping this buff and then running around on patrol. Save it for the boss fights that you do in Strikes, Raids and even the Court of Oryx.
