As every Friday in Destiny 2, Xur returns today. Where is the Agent of the Nine located and what items does he have on offer? Here are the location and inventory on August 17.
You have another chance at Whisper of the Worm: The anomaly on IO is back. This leads the Guardians to the time-sensitive mission Whisper, where a successful completion rewards the exotic sniper rifle Whisper of the Worm.
Players who have not yet managed to acquire the new exotic sniper have another chance this weekend. The hunt for the Whisper of the Worm and its catalyst reopens at 7:00 PM. Until next Monday at 7:00 PM, you have time to secure this coveted weapon. Then the anomaly will disappear until the following weekend.
