Since then, he | Until [[Forsaken]], Xûr appeared either in a predefined spot within the [[Destination]] chosen as that week's [[Flashpoint]], or else the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]] if a DLC Destination was selected. Since then, he still appears in one of his predefined spots, but randomly selected from all base ''[[Destiny 2]]'' [[Destination]]s. As of [[Beyond Light]] this is limited to the Tower, the [[European Dead Zone]], and [[Nessus]]. Instead of [[Strange Coin]]s, he accepts [[Legendary Shard]]s. After each week, his available stock of Exotics is randomized; he offers one random armor piece for each class, a random weapon, a special 'fated' or 'isochronal' exotic engram that is guaranteed to decrypt into an as-yet undiscovered '''non-quest''' armor ''or'' weapon, and assorted other items. If all suitable armor and weapons have been discovered, a new roll of armor for the player's current class is decrypted instead. In [[Season of the Lost]], Xûr began to offer a selection of Legendary weapons introduced in previous seasons, including older [[Trials of Osiris]] and [[Nightfall]] weapons, in addition to a random set of vaulted armor. As of [[The Witch Queen]] he will also sell one random roll each of vaulted exotic weapons that feature them. His entire current inventory can be found [https://www.light.gg/db/vendors/2190858386/x%C3%BBr/ here]. | ||
