With just three weeks to go until the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron, PlayStation and Xbox owners received a bit of a surprise Friday with Xûr selling some Exotic pieces for the first time in Year Two, like The Last Word and Eternal Warrior. Meanwhile, the Exotic armor Knucklehead Radar and Obsidian Mind have not been seen since just after the release of The Taken King.
Destiny players looking for Xûr should turn right and head toward the hangar after spawning at the Tower. Once you’ve gone through the long hallway and entered the hangar, turn right, and you will see the seller of Exotics. Here’s where you can find him on the Tower map, just to be sure.

For those wondering what to get, here are a few helpful hints.
The Last Word
This weapon has been nerfed and tweaked by Bungie repeatedly. However, it’s still a viable choice in PVP today and is a necessary piece to own to complete the Jolly Holiday quest to earn The Chaperone Exotic Shotgun.
Eternal Warrior
The 51 Intellect/50 Discipline stat roll for the helmet is fairly average for this helmet. Consider re-rolling for better stats and to get “Inverse Shadow” as one of the third column perks.
Knucklehead Radar
The optional perk gives a choice between “Inverse Shadow” to gain increased Super energy from killing minions in PVE and “Ashes to Assets” to gain bonus Super energy from grenade kills on minions. The third column perk is “Invigoration” for bonus melee energy from picking up Orbs of Light.
The 51 Discipline and 51 Strength stat rolls are decent for this piece. Re-roll with Glass Needles if your Hunter needs more intellect.
Obsidian Mind
While the 51 Intellect and 46 Strength split stat roll is average for Obsidian Mind, the needed “Inverse Shadow” perk is present in the third column. Re-roll only as needed to maximize your Intellect.
