Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and nothing is more romantic than an evening with everyone's favorite intergalactic arms dealer, Xur. The roaming merchant has set up shop once again, ready to serve up some fresh deals on Exotic armor and weapons. Here's where you can find Xur this weekend and what the Agent of the Nine has for sale.
This week you can find Xur on Nessus, in the Watcher's Grave area. For his weapon, Xur is offering Suros Regime. Hunters can pick up the Knucklehead Radar helmet, Titans can grab the Ursa Furiosa gauntlets, and for Warlocks, Xur has the Starfire Protocol armor.
Xur has offered this Kinetic-slot auto rifle a couple of times recently, and if you still don't have it, then you're missing out on a reliable weapon for PvP. The bottom half of the magazine deals bonus damage and has a chance to return health on each kill, plus you can switch between a quick-shooting or a hard-hitting firing mode.

Dead Man's Tale has a pretty solid roll of perks this week. The scout rifle has some great options for anyone who favors precision damage, as recoil control with Steady Rounds, Composite Stock, and Chambered Compensator keeps the weapon steady. The big perk on this version of DMT is Outlaw, which will greatly decrease your reload time when you score precision kills.

This build of Hawkmoon has a decent set of perks that favor stability this week. Quickdraw lets you draw the weapon incredibly quick, and Polygonal Rifling and Smooth Grip makes its recoil easy to handle. Combined with Alloy Magazine, which makes reloading quicker when the chamber is empty, and you've got a solid roll this week for Hawkmoon.

For the Hunter who doesn't want to be caught by surprise when they're taking aim, Knucklehead Radar is a good PvP option. It'll keep your radar up while aiming, which is perfect for any Guardian who likes to get into sniping position. This version of the helmet has some great recovery and discipline stats as well, which will feed nicely into your subclass grenade recharge rate and how quickly you'll recover lost health.

Another week, another set of Exotic gauntlets on offer from Xur that favor Titan Void subclass builds. That subclass is getting nerfed soon in PvP, but if you still want to run a few more matches with your deadly Sentinel Shield, this Exotic makes that Super even deadlier. Once your Sentinel Shield Super is active, you'll move faster when guarding and any damage you absorb with the shield will be converted back to Super energy once the ability ends.

Starfire Protocol has been one of the best Exotics for Warlocks who specialize in spamming their grenade ability. With the right build, you can essentially hurl endless explosives, unleash empowered damage, and shrug off lethal attacks easily. Fusion grenades have an additional charge with this Exotic and recharge quickly when you're standing in an empowered rift, and when combined with a Ward of Dawn Super, you'll be an almost unstoppable grenade-tossing machine.
