We know Xûr can sometimes be a pain to find. More often than not Xûr will be on the same planet that The Flashpoint takes place on.
However, not all players have the expansions. To make sure these players don’t miss out on the messenger of The Nine, Xûr will reside in The Tower. Regardless of where he is though, we have you covered.
Each week we will let you know what planet Xûr is at, along with how to get to him. We will let you know what he’s selling, and if it’s worth a pickup. Like Xûr, my will is not my own, and my will is to help you as best I can.
The Tower
There are only two areas to spawn into The Tower, and the new spawn is much further away. You will want to select the original spawn in the middle of the map. Head to the top right of the map and make your way to where Amanda Holliday is. Once you’re in the Hanger you will want to head to the left and go past where Dead Orbit sits. You should be looking outside now. To your left again there will be some stairs, take them and you will see Xür waiting for you.

Fated Engram
Fated Engrams are exotic engrams which award you exotics that Xûr has the ability to sell, however, you haven’t acquired yet. The best strategy for these is to buy any exotics you have not yet acquired from Xûr is he is selling them. This is to eliminate the chance of the Fated Engram giving you something that you could have just purchased. Once you have all the Exotics that Xûr can sell then Fated Engrams are no longer worth the purchase.
Five of Swords
Five of Swords are used for Nightfalls. You only need to purchase them once unless you accidentally dismantle it. Five of Swords allows you to set modifiers to the Nightfall to make it easier with a lower Nightfall score or to make it harder with a multiplier to the Nightfall score. There are many different combinations and the modifiers can be changed endlessly.
