Update: Xur has departed for this weekend. Here's where you can find Xur and what Exotics he's selling for the weekend of May 27-31.
This is it: the last visit from Xur in Destiny 2 before the end of the Season of the Risen. That makes this a final chance to stock up on new Exotic and Legendary weapons and armor before the new season kicks off and raises the Power level caps, sending players back to grinding to get ready for high-level content. Here's where you can find Xur and what he's selling to help you prepare for the future, allowing you to get ready for Season 17 before it kicks off on May 24.
Head to the Watcher's Grave area of Nessus to find Xur this week. For his weapon, Xur is offering Telesto. Hunters can pick up Gemini Jester leg armor; Titans can grab the Actium War Rig chest armor; and for Warlocks, Xur has the Verity's Brow helmet.
Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET each Friday. His exact location is always a mystery when he first arrives, as he is not listed on the map, and for novice players, he can be easy to miss. However, there are a set number of locations where he takes up residence, including the Tower Hangar area, on Nessus in Watcher's Grave, and in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ.

That means it's worth visiting him each time to check out his new weapons and rolls on Exotic and Legendary armor. You can visit him any time between his arrival Friday and the weekly reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET the following Tuesday when Xur departs the Solar System.

Mobility: 16Resilience: 7Recovery: 9Discipline: 19Intellect: 2Strength: 7 Total: 60Xur's Hawkmoon offering this week features a very high Handling stat to go with the Eye of the Storm perk, which makes the gun more accurate and gives it even better Handling as your health gets lower. This isn't the premiere perk for the gun, especially in PvP, but if you'd like a fast Hawkmoon that gets more accurate as a fight goes on, this roll could work. As for Dead Man's Tale, Xur's version offers Outlaw and a decent Range stat. Outlaw can help the gun reload fast if you're hitting your precision shots and making kills, but there are definitely better perks to snag on this one that'll help you win more fights.
For Legendary weapons this week, Xur has a few decent options. The Eternal Blazon scout rifle Xur can be fun in PvP, featuring Killing Wind and Unrelenting, which give you big bonuses and healing as you kill Guardians in the Crucible, along with a Stability Masterwork. His Long Shadow sniper rifle packs Snapshot Sights and Explosive Payload with a Stability Masterwork, making it good for landing quick shots that will greatly flinch your targets if you don't kill them outright. Machine guns aren't really in the meta right now, but if you like them, the Seventh Seraph Saw with Auto-loading Holster, Vorpal Weapon, and a somewhat unnecessary Reload Masterwork can be good for cleaning up tougher enemies in PvE or mowing down the occasional Guardian in the Crucible.
You can grab the Holdfast armor set from Xur this week, from way back in the Season of Arrivals. Warlocks make out extremely well this week, with high stat rolls on the gauntlets, helmet, and leg armor this week (although the stat distributions won't make these must-gets, unfortunately). Look for decent rolls on gauntlets and chest armor for Titans, and on the gauntlets, chest armor, and helmet for Hunters.
