Weekend shopping just got a twist in Destiny 2! If you’re eyeing those shiny Exotic items from our beloved vendor Xur, you’ll now need something a bit unusual — Strange Coins. Curious about snagging some for yourself? Buckle up as we dive into the ultimate coin chase!
What’s the Big Deal with Strange Coins?
Once a forgotten currency, Strange Coins are making a grand comeback in the latest expansion, The Final Shape. Forget about simple transactions; these coins are your golden ticket to Xur’s treasure trove of Exotic and Legendary goodies. Xur, the mysterious weekend vendor, now demands Strange Coins for his exotic treasures. Wondering how to get your hands on these peculiar coins? Let’s break it down in true tabloid style!
Here’s How to Get Them
To stock up on Strange Coins, dive into Ritual activities. These include Strikes, Crucible matches, and Gambit matches. No need to mess around with the new Pathfinder system; just complete these activities, and the coins will come rolling in.
| Activity | Coin Drop |
| Vanguard | 2-4 |
| Crucible | 2-4 |
| Trials | 2-4 |
| Iron Banner | 2-4 |
| Gambit | 2-4 |

Other Ways to Earn Coins
While Ritual activities are your best bet, coins can also pop up in campaign missions in The Final Shape and Overthrow in the Pale Heart. However, these sources are less reliable, appearing randomly as you play.
