Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for May 6

The horse-admiring thrifty boi, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

Where Is Xûr Today?

Xûr's location can be found at Winding Cove in the EDZ on May 6 through May 10. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Winding Cove. When you arrive, make for the rock cliffs at the far end of the cove and look for a cave winding up to a platform next to some Fallen. There you'll find the freakish salesman we all adore.

What's Xûr Selling Today?

Great news, everyone! Bungie fixed Xûr's issues and he's once more selling some decent rolls for armor! Praise be! Xûr's got some good weapons to use in The Witch Queen's endgame content. Check it out!

Exotic Engram

Skyburner's Oath - Exotic Scout Rifle

Celestial Nighthawk- Exotic Hunter Helmet

Some great exotic armor this week, specifically the Celestial Nighthawk and Heart of Inmost Light rolls, which are very high-stat and for the most part rolled in a good way (depending on your build). You might also want to pick up Skyburner's Oath since Bungie announced a very substantial buff to the weapon taking effect next season. #TakeTheOath

Exotic Weapons

Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon

Paracausal Shot
Full Bore
Alloy Magazine
Killing Wind
Combat Grip

Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle

Cranial Spike
Polygonal Rifling
High-Caliber Rounds
Moving Target
Composite Stock

Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale are both great weapons, but neither of this week's rolls are especially stellar -- especially compared to some really great ones we've seen in recent weeks. Buy them if you need them, but otherwise I'd wait.

Legendary Weapons

Talons of the Eagle - Scout Rifle

Corkscrew Rifling/Smallbore
Steady Rounds/Alloy Magazine
Outlaw
Ambitious Assassin
Stability Masterwork

Last Perdition - Pulse Rifle

SLO-21 Post/SLO-26 Front
Alloy Magazine/Flared Magwell
Rangefinder
Kill Clip
Handling Masterwork

Honor's Edge - Sword

Honed Edge/Tempered Edge
Balanced Guard/Enduring Guard
Tireless Blade
En Garde
Impact Masterwork

False Promises - Auto Rifle

Chambered Compensator/Full Bore
Appended Mag/Flared Magwell
Overflow
Rampage
Stability Masterwork

Truthteller - Grenade Launcher

Countermass/Quick Launch
Implosion Rounds/Concussion Grenades
Field Prep
Multikill Clip
Handling Masterwork

First In, Last Out - Grenade Launcher

Chambered Compensator/Hammer-Forged Rifling
Tactical Mag/Light Mag
Slideshot
Demolitionist
Stability Masterwork

Eternal Blazon - Scout Rifle

Candle PS/Flash HS5
Appended Mag/High-Caliber Rounds
Slideshot
Unrelenting
Stability Masterwork

Not a ton of God rolls this week, but I'm quite partial to the Last Perdition roll, featuring Rangefinder and Kill Clip, which are an excellent recipe for destruction.

Final Fantasy 16 Has a Finished Trailer But It’s Been Delayed Due To ‘Various Circumstances’

We may soon have another trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI, according to Naoki Yoshida, the game's producer. He made the comments during a livestream to promote a collaboration between NieR Reincarnation and Final Fantasy XIV.

"We have a finished trailer, but due to various circumstances its release has been a bit delayed," said Yoshida, responding to some gentle pressure from NieR series producer Yosuke Saito. "I reckon it'll be coming out very soon, though."

On the game itself, Yoshida said that it was "really taking shape" and praised the hard work of the development team. "Now we're playtesting, polishing, and debugging, and I want us to be able to take our time with it."

Yoshida previously revealed in an interview with Uniqlo that the game was in the final stages of development, saying in the livestream that he received a “cold email” from the US marketing team for letting the information slip.

Final Fantasy XVI is the first mainline entry in the series since 2016, and was revealed during September 2020’s PS5 showcase.

The game is set on the continent of Valisthea, home to six factions driven to the verge of war by a mysterious Blight, with powerful beings called Eikons summoned by their human Dominants. Compared to the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, Yoshida has previously said that the game “offers a different experience where it focuses on the individual player and immerses you in the story.”

After Yoshida’s comments about the delay, speculation abounds that the “various circumstances” may be Sony’s desire to air the new trailer at a showcase or State of Play this year.

While no release date has been announced, 2022 is the 35th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy. With development starting to wrap and a new trailer on the way, a 2022 release may not be impossible.

Halo Infinite: 343 Addresses Season 2’s ‘Bumpy’ Launch and Says Fixes Are on the Way

The Season 2 update to Halo Infinite hasn’t quite lived up to players’ expectations, but members of the Halo team are reassuring players that fixes are on their way. Halo developer 343i Senior Community Manager John Junyszek and Head of Creative Joseph Staten took to Twitter to address players’ concerns on Friday.

“Hey Spartans, this week has been bumpy,” Staten said via a Tweet. “That definitely wasn't our goal. We are indeed taking your feedback to heart, especially regarding map jumps and speedrunning. We're reviewing options and will have more news to come.”

A thread by Junyszek dives further into some of these issues. According to Junyszek, the Last Spartan Standing challenges in the Interference Event were fixed and should now be “tracking more accurately and helping you earn rewards.” Halo Infinite will also compensate players who log in during the event with 5 XP Boosts and 5 Challenge Swaps.

The team has also responded to fans’ concerned Tweets, clarifying that a “jamming” issue regarding semi-automatic weapons is an unintentional glitch and will be patched in the near future.

“We're taking the feedback seriously and reviewing options internally,” Junyszek said. He also encouraged players to report any further issues by reaching out to the Halo support account.

While buggy, Season 2 was an ambitious update that introduced new gameplay modes, maps, and limited events. It also unexpectedly revived Clippy, the beloved Microsoft assistant.

We gave Halo Infinite’s single-player campaign a 9 when it released thanks to its impressive level of player freedom and innovative reimagining of the classic series.
