Xûr first appeared in the Tower after the end of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]]. [[Cryptarch]] [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil]] speculated that the Nine had previously made use of the [[Ahamkara]] for their paracausal abilities, and had sent Xûr to interact with the Guardians for similar reasons.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | Xûr first appeared in the Tower after the end of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]].

Xûr was | Xûr once was confronted by the Guardian [[Orin]], who was sent by [[Mara Sov]] to investigate the Nine's role in the disappearance of [[Sjur Eido]]. Xûr asks Orin to "forgive [[The Nine|them]]", as she crushes his windpipe and interrogates him. After being freed from Orin's grasp, he reaches into his robes to reveal a silver jar—misinterpreting Xûr's movements as a sign of hostility, Orin struck the Agent in the chest with her war hammer, sending him flying and breaking his spine. Though Xûr survived, he acquired a permanent hunched posture due to his injury.<ref>''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Debt|Debt]]''</ref> | ||

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]. | |||
