Where is Xur? for Destiny 2 4+

This is a very simple straight forward app that has a countdown going during the week to when Xur will appear and then when he does, they tell you exactly where he is. It’s very convenient to have this app at my fingertips when Friday comes around and I want to check our Xur’s wares ASAP. The app also has a list of the best exotics based on user reviews and ratings which is really convenient. It’s a single place to go and search for a particular exotic to see what other people think of it and decide if it’s even worth it to buy what Xur does end up having.

Additionally there is an Archive showing what Xur has had in the past and a Guardian Wishlist that allows users to participate in a poll for what pieces they hope Xur will have that week which is just fun to participate in. Not sure if Bungie checks it out and makes choices based on the polls or if Xur’s wares are randomly chosen or what but it’s still fun to see what the community wants. Definitely recommend this app to any and all Destiny 2 players.

I’m really happy with pretty much all of the functionality of the app. It takes the pain and guesswork out of leveling a new D2 character for me because 1. I can actually get build ideas from the reviews section of each piece of gear. 2. I can see what Xur has and started to plan a build (ahead of time) based around a good piece of gear for one of my classes and even start saving toward that goal. 3. Participating in the wishlist kinda feels more communal and as such offers another kind of insight into how other players use exotics.

I just dig what this app has done for me as a returning player to the Destiny Verse but new to Destiny 2. It’s basically been the main tool in my toolbox for jumping into the game and getting up to speed in a satisfying way.

I love this app, I’ve been using it since Destiny 1, and now with D2 out it’s been really nice to just be able to check out the gear he’s selling and decide whether I find it worth it to track him down rather than having to run all over the place then find out I already have or don’t want anything he’s selling!

I think the only suggestion I would have is maybe put a little blurb when you press and hold an exotic that has the description of the item or at very least weapon type in the voting, though it’s not a huge complaint seeing as voting doesn’t actually affect Xur’s cache outcome anyway.

All in all, it’s a great little quality of life app that I’ll be keeping around for much more time to come. :)
