Where Is Xur Today? Destiny 2 Xur Location & Exotics Guide (Nov. 30-Dec. 4)
It’s been an exciting week for Destiny 2 players, as not only did it mark the start of Season 5 with a new update, but we learned about much of the content coming in Black Armory and in the coming months. The weekend has now arrived, which means a new visit from the mysterious merchant Xur. He has an array of Exotic items for sale, as you can see in the video above; here’s what he has and where to find him.

Finding Xur is no different in the new season than it has been over the past 15 months. This week, Xur is located on Nessus. Head to the Watcher’s Grave landing zone, hop on your Sparrow, and head straight and to the left. You’ll quickly see a giant tree; make your way to the base and climb the branch outward to find Xur.

Bungie has revealed new Exotics coming to the game, so does that mean Xur’s wares are more exciting than usual? If you’re asking that question, you probably already know the answer–nope. It’s another slate of Year One Exotics, with one weapon and one piece of armor each for Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters.

The weapon is Riskrunner, the fun submachine gun that causes chain lightning to damage enemies. Hunters get the gauntlets Young Ahamkara’s Spine (giving you enhanced tripmines when causing ability damage). Warlocks get the Karnstein Armlets gauntlets (melee kills restore health). And Titans get the Armamentarium chest armor (providing an extra grenade charge). Yes, this means both Warlocks and Titans actually have the same items for sale as last week, though Year Two versions of armor do at least have the chance to sport different perks.
- Riskrunner (Exotic submachine gun) — 29 Legendary Shards
- Young Ahamkara’s Spine (Exotic Hunter gauntlets) — 23 Legendary Shards
- Karnstein Armlets (Exotic Warlock gauntlets) — 23 Legendary Shards
- Armamentarium (Exotic Titan chest armor) — 23 Legendary Shards
Xur also has the Fated Engram for sale, which is expensive but guarantees to decrypt into a Year One Exotic you don’t already own.

You have until the weekly reset on Tuesday, December 4 to visit Xur. That day is a big one for the game, as it marks the release of The Black Armory, the first of three expansions releasing as part of the Annual Pass. It introduces the aforementioned new Exotics, a new Raid, and other new content, but it doesn’t feature a new campaign. It does, however, increase the Power level cap to 650 (up from the current 600 max).

Get Battlefield 5 On Sale For $40 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
It’s hardly a week old, but EA’s latest shooter, Battlefield V, is already on sale for $40 at Walmart and Best Buy right now. This sale price applies to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions of the game. The deal won’t likely last long, so if you’ve been considering picking up this WWII shooter, you’ll want to jump on this deal fast.

That’s not the only Battlefield V deal going on right now, either. Best Buy also has the deluxe edition on sale for $72 (normally $80) on PS4 and Xbox One. That isn’t as big of a discount as the standard edition, but the deluxe edition comes with 20 weekly airlift items, special assignment missions, and five sets of paratrooper outfits. And if you buy the game on any platform from Best Buy, it comes with a free steelbook case.

Battlefield V is an online shooter that will be changing and expanding in the months to come. It already has a single-player campaign called War Stories and a number of multiplayer modes. Between now and March 2019, Electronic Arts will be releasing a slew of free content, including new modes, maps, a new Grand Operations mission, and a battle royale mode called Firestorm.

In our Battlefield V review, Michael Higham scored the game 8/10, writing, “The Battlefield series has a winning formula that Battlefield V doesn’t deviate far from, at least for now. Conquest and the map roster don’t mesh well together, however, Grand Operations–and the other modes within it–steal the show and foster some of the greatest moments the franchise has offered. You might be surprised by the impact of the slight changes made for this entry, especially when you’re deep into pushing or defending objectives in Frontlines alongside teammates fulfilling their roles. That’s when Battlefield V is at its best.”

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Every Confirmed Stage

As its name suggests, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is meant as the definitive Smash experience. Every returning character and tons of newcomers join the ranks of Nintendo’s legendary brawler, and almost all of the series’ iconic stages.

Every confirmed stage for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will also have three variants, according to creator Masahiro Sakurai: the standard version with all obstacles and stage hazards intact, the flat “Omega” or “Final Destination” version, and a “Battlefield” version with three platforms hovering above a flat stage.

Below, you’ll find a gallery of every confirmed stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which span several Nintendo and non-Nintendo properties.

5 Predictions for the 2018 Game Awards

The Game Awards airs live on Thursday, December 6 (watch it live on IGN starting at 6pm PT/9pm ET). Over the years, host and executive producer Geoff Keighley has built the event into not only a celebration of the gaming year coming to a close but a look ahead at the one to come. With that, we’ve got a few predictions on what announcements may be in store for us at the last major gaming event of 2018.

Yeah, Reggie just downplayed anything happening anytime soon with Nintendo’s third pillar. But the fact of the matter is that they’ve probably got something to show by now, even if it’s just a CG trailer. And Keighley has a knack of getting major exclusives out of Nintendo. Look no further than 2014, when he scored a video of Miyamoto running around Hyrule from a Nintendo conference room. As someone who does this for a living, I can assure you, getting that is no easy task. Or take last year, when Zelda’s Master Cycle was revealed at The Game Awards. Point is, I think Reggie is playing coy, and Metroid is coming out to play – in some form – at this year’s event.
