Xur's coming and going depends on the planetary alignments, as he hails from the [[Jovians]], a place beyond even [[The Reef]] that the Guardians have yet to adequately explore. He is subservient to [[Nine|the Nine]], enigmatic rulers of the Jovians, the section of the Solar System past the asteroid belt. | |||

Xûr claims that his will is not his own, and he is in complete servitude to [[Nine|The Nine.]] It is important to note that he is not one of them. | |||

In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Xûr appears 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 is selected. Instead of [[Strange Coin]]s, he accepts [[Legendary Shards]]. 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' engram that is guaranteed to decrypt into an as-yet undiscovered '''non-quest''' armor ''or'' weapon, and assorted other items. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *Xur has sold the famous [[exotic]] [[Rocket Launcher]] [[Gjallarhorn]] on two occasions in Year 1 of [[Destiny]]. The first was during the second week he was available to purchase from, however many people didn't buy it due to either lack of knowledge or they didn't have enough [[Strange Coin|Strange Coins]] with which to purchase it. | ||
*There was once a bug in Xur's code that meant he didn't sell Three of Coins for a few weeks during [[Rise of Iron]]. | |||
*There is a fan theory that Xur's presence in the [[Tower]] may not be beneficial, despite him outfitting [[Guardians]] with [[Exotic]] wares. Some fans believe that Xur is in the [[Tower]] for reconnaissance purposes and to gather intelligence for his [[The Nine|superiors]]. | |||
*There was once a bug in | *Before ''Destiny 2'' patch 2.0.0, a symbol for Xûr was displayed in the area he was present in. This has now been removed and makes it harder for player to find him. | ||
