Way back in the day, Xur, the Exotics vendor who only shows up in Destiny 2 on the weekends, required you to pay for his spiffy wares in a currency called Strange Coins. In Destiny 2, Strange Coins went away, only popping up later as part of the Dares of Eternity activity. With the currency changes that came with The Final Shape, you’ll start finding Strange Coins in your pocket again, and you’ll need them to buy stuff from Xur again.
The thing is, it’s not immediately clear where you can get Strange Coins from in the game. You’ll need a lot of them to buy stuff from Xur, as everything he sells, from Exotic weapons and armor to Legendary gear, requires Strange Coins. Here’s what we know about Strange Coins and how to earn them. You might also want to check out our guide to where Xur is and what he’s selling, as well.
How To Get Strange Coins in Destiny 2
The main process for earning Strange Coins is taking part in Ritual activities. Those are the main Destiny 2 activities, like Strikes, Crucible matches, and Gambit matches. Notably, you don’t need to mess with the new Pathfinder system to earn Strange Coins–they just drop when you complete activities.
