An in-game character named Xur standing in a mysterious location in Destiny 1, surrounded by glowing items and players searching for him.

The hunt for Xur, Destiny 1's beloved vendor, is heating up as players are returning to the game. Amid frustrations with the complexities of Destiny 2, they're seeking straightforward ways to find Xur in the Tower and Reef.

Locating Xur: Community Insights

As players dive back into Destiny 1, they crave reliable resources to track Xur's location. Gamers on forums are sharing valuable tips on where to find him weekly.

"If you go to the Tower and look at the flowerpot to your left when you first spawn, thereโ€™s a purple triangle symbol. Thatโ€™s how you know if Xur is in the Tower or not," a player noted.

Essential Locations for Xur

Players detailed Xur's spawn locations:

  • Tower Locations: Xur can appear at different spots - either next to the Vanguard or Arcite-99. When entering the hangar, a sharp right leads to his potential area. If heโ€™s not there, head down the adjacent staircase past The Dead Orbit vendor. Another possible location is in a small club area within the Tower.

  • Reef Location: Reference Variks for his spot; southeast of Variks, a dark open doorway marks another spawn site.

Players are noticing that memorizing Xur's locations is manageable, stating, "He has seven locations, six of which are in the Tower."

Apps and Websites: Useful Tools

While many find comfort in community-sourced info, there was a mention of an app that tracks Xurโ€™s location and inventory, referencing one that existed for Destiny 1. Gamers are curious if active websites have been established similar to the existing ones for Destiny 2.

Sentiment and Endeavors in the Community

Players express mixed feelings filled with nostalgia and a drive to support each other:

  • Nostalgia Revisited: "I miss my Icebreaker and Vex Mythoclast from D1," one player reminisced, highlighting the camaraderie that came with simpler times.

  • Sharing Knowledge: Many contribute to pinned forum posts to guide others, which aid both new and seasoned players in locating Xur efficiently.

Looking Forward: The Future of Xur's Seekers
