Destiny 2 Xur location February 26
This week you’ll find Xur at Watcher’s Grave on Nessus, hanging in the treetops. Most consistent Destiny players will likely know where that location is, but we’ve included a map for those who might need help getting there.

Now that you know where Xur is located, let’s take a look at what he’s carrying. Below we’ve listed each weapon and piece of gear you’ll be able to purchase over the weekend. We’ve also listed the randomized stat rolls for each applicable item as well.
- Monte Carlo [Exotic Auto Rifle – 29 Legendary Shards]: This gun has an intrinsic Perk called the Monte Carlo Method, where weapon damage decreases your melee cooldown. It goes without saying that if you pair this with other melee-focused Exotics like the Karnstein Armlets then you’ve got some serious up-close damage at your disposal. This Exotic isn’t for everyone, but, if you love to melee in PvP, the Monte Carlo may be hard to ignore given the substantial Hard Light nerfs.
- Fr0st-EE5 [Hunter Leg Armor – 23 Legendary Shards]: This Hunter armor has the Rapid Cooldown perk, which increases grenade, melee and dodge regeneration while sprinting. Dodging also increases sprint speed. Many players tend to run these for a neutral game, but the advantage isn’t that great compared to other Hunter options. On the plus side, it is possible to get an ability recharge by running in circles. This weekend’s roll is also particularly amazing as well.
- MOB 9, RES 8, REC 15, DIS 9, INT 19, STR 2
- Antaeus Wards [Titan Leg Armor – 23 Legendary Shards]: With the Reflective Vents perk, sliding reflects projectiles. Any reflection also grants Super energy. In general, this is a high-skill Exotic with some serious benefits in PvP. Especially if you’re able to reflect a Nova Bomb or Blade Barrage, the advantage of this armor pays off quickly. Just get up close, shield up, absorb the shot and return one of your own. Despite being nerfed, this roll looks pretty strong.
- MOB 8, RES 16, REC 7, DIS 6, INT 13, STR 9
- Vesper of Radius [Warlock Chest Armor – 23 Legendary Shards]: If you’re in need of Exotic Chest Armor, Xur has you covered. The primary perk for this one is Planetary Torrent, which adds an extra Arc Shockwave to your Rifts. Especially if you’re using a Rift-based character, this one’s well worth picking up. Its dominating bugs were patched out in the early days of Beyond Light, but these are still useful today.
- MOB 8, RES 15, REC 10, DIS 9, INT 15, STR 6
- A question [Exotic Cipher]: Complete strikes or win matches in Crucible or Gambit. Extra progress is awarded for more challenging activities and for succeeding with clanmates. (21)
Overall, the Xur inventory for February 26 is mostly average. One major exception to that description, of course, is the awesome Fr0st-EE5 roll that Hunters will be sure to make great use of. The roll basically heightens the strengths of this leg piece, transforming it from a decent choice into one that could very well become a central part of your build. Guardians have been waiting for a truly improved Fr0st-EE5 roll, and now they finally have one. Beyond that one standout item, though, the Monte Carlo is also a bit of a sleeper favorite for those who still love Crucible. Nothing earth-shattering is being sold by Xur this weekend, but anything you don’t have is probably still worth buying.
Destiny 2 is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Stadia.
