Xur today, August 16 should be a standard procedure. In other words, the Destiny 2 Xur location should go smoothly and it’s likely he won’t be on Nessus again like he was last week. The Xur inventory should have some good wares and he almost always has armor for every class and a weapon. Whatever he does have, we will be the first to show you what he is selling on August 16. Like we do every single week, we will look at the Xur start time, the number Legendary Shards you will need to cough up on every item, and that coveted Xur location.
Destiny 2 Xur Location | Where is Xur Today? (August 16)
Like every other time, we won’t be able to be clairvoyant predict the exact spot Xur will show up at today until he does show his face at 1 PM Eastern (check below for more about the Xur start time, including the U.K. time). He’ll probably go to his usual spots on Io, Titan, Tower, or the EDZ but probably not on Nessus as that is where he was last week. Watch this space to find out, and be sure to refresh when the time comes. We’ll have it.
Update:
Destiny 2 Xur location (August 16): Titan
Destiny 2 Xur Start Time | When Does Xur Arrive Today? (August 16)
The Xur start time hasn’t moved. He will still make his grand appearance at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. That’s 6 PM BST in the U.K. As soon as you see the “New Adventures Available” message, that means Xur is about to show up.

Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons

Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons
One of the main draws of Destiny is the guns. This is a loot shooter through and through, and Bungie has crafted a huge arsenal of interesting firearms to go after. While there are many standard weapons, a handful of rare selections really push the envelope. Here are Destiny's 10 most exotic weapons. -
Bad Juju
A fantastic Pulse Rifle, Bad Juju's main aesthetic is death. That skeletal spine and skull hood ornament really make it stand out from the crowd. The gun also rewards successive kills, so you can feed it more death and charge your super move at the same time. -
Fighting Lion
A sterling silver grenade launcher, the Fighting Lion's magnificent big cat finish is just the most obvious of its advantages. It's got all the buffs you'd want from a noob tube and it blasts apart shields on direct hits. Certainly, a great option if you're looking to shake things up. -
Gjallarhorn
A legend among legends, Gjallarhorn was the exotic to grab during both its reigns over Destiny's meta. It's a flaming rocket launcher with a huge silver eagle etched onto the top. The rockets it fires can be upgraded to split into tracking "wolfpack" rounds, meaning that no one is running away. -
Sleeper Simulant
When you say the words Fusion Rifle, you think of something that looks like the Sleeper Simulant. The prototype rail gun look is definitely in. The lasers it fires goes straight through enemies and also ricochets off walls. It's an easy way to score a triple kill if you're good with your aim. -
Telesto
Do you want a fusion rifle that shoots black holes? Or "void blasts" as the Destiny people might say? Telesto is your gun. While it looks like a random configuration from Borderlands' weapon generator, its large range and ability to reload your spare guns make it a great choice in the field. -
The Wardcliff Coil
OK, we may have said that Sleeper Simulant looked like a prototype, but this Wardcliff Coil looks like a prototype of that prototype. It's as if someone tore parts off of a passing space station and then used a genie to wish them into a gun. What a cool look. -
Touch Of Malice
With the Touch Of Malice, you can't help but feel Bungie reaching back into its past. Sure, this exotic scout rifle doesn't fire grenades, but it sure does look a whole lot like the Brute Shot. It's got that weird side handle and the underslung blade. Either way, a great design. -
Trinity Ghoul
One of two bows introduced in the latest Destiny 2 expansion, the Trinity Ghoul proves that Bungie is more than happy to break the rules of its own FPS. Sure, you'd probably rather have a minigun, but maybe some snipers might enjoy going back to basics with this most historic of weapons. -
Two-Tailed Fox
The Two-Tailed Fox is enormous. A huge colorful rocket launcher, it fires two distinct projectiles, each with a different payload. One fires void, the black hole juice we mentioned earlier. The other fires Solar, which involves burning your target. Combined, it's just not a very good time for whoever's on the receiving end. -
Worldline Zero
Much like the Bows introduced in Forsaken, the original Destiny had a whole class of weapon that didn't involve bullets and ammo. They were swords, and there are now quite a few blades to choose from. Perhaps the Crucible could use a Medieval Mode now that both are in the game.
