The weekend has arrived in Destiny 2, and with the Iron Banner happening again for Guardians, it's a great time to stock up on useful Exotics to take into the Crucible. Xur has arrived in the solar system to help you fill out your collection, although most of what he offers is on the older side. Here's what Xur is offering this week to help you climb up the Crucible ranks, and where you'll need to go to find him.
Where Is Xur?
Head to Nessus to find Xur this week. He's hanging out on Calus's opulent barge in the Watcher's Grave region. From the local transmat zone, hop on your sparrow and head north, then climb aboard the ship and look for Xur on the left side.
What Is Xur Selling?
Despite the fact that Xur can sell Exotics from the full second year of Destiny 2, most of what he's got this week is older stuff, and therefore a little less interesting. Leading the pack is Telesto, an Exotic fusion rifle that's great for taking to Iron Banner if you don't already have one. Hunters get the only Exotic that might be considered "new" with Shards of Galanor, a piece of armor from the Forsaken expansion.
You can still get some Year Two Exotics if you're looking to fill out your collection, though. Xur's Fated Engram, which gives you one Exotic you don't already have per week, now includes all the random Year Two Exotic drops from the Annual Pass, which means Exotic armor from last season, the Season of Opulence, is now available from the expensive engram. If you're a PC or Xbox One player taking advantage of cross-save, you can now potentially get Wavesplitter from the Fated Engram as well.
Xur also carries the Five of Swords challenge card that lets you add modifiers to standard Nightfall Strikes, and if you're looking to work through Annual Pass content from Year Two, you can also get an Invitation of the Nine bounty from him.
Dunemarchers (Exotic Titan Leg Armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
Transversive Steps (Exotic Warlock Leg Armor) -- 23 Legendary Shards
Shards of Galanor (Exotic Hunter Gauntlets) -- 23 Legendary Shards
Telesto
If you need a reliable weapon for the Crucible, Telesto is a great one to have. The fusion rifle shoots sticky energy balls that attach to walls and enemies, detonating a few seconds later. It's very useful in Iron Banner this week, particularly for dealing with the fusion rifle step of the Scour the Rust quest.
Dunemarchers
Titans can grab Dunemarchers this week, another useful Exotic for venturing into the Crucible. The leg armor increases your sprint speed and builds up a static electric charge as you move, which detonates when you melee an enemy and chains to nearby players. If you love running around and shoulder-charging people, grab this one.

Transversive Steps
Hunters aren't the only class that can be speedy thanks to Warlocks' Transversive Steps. The Exotic increases your sprint speed, and after you sprint for a short time, the leg armor also automatically reloads your equipped weapon.

Shards of Galanor
A former mainstay for Hunters running Blade Barrage, Shards of Galanor is a lot less effective now that it has been nerfed, but it can still be useful in both PvE and the Crucible. The gauntlets return Super energy on successful Blade Barrage hits and kills.
