With The Final Shape expansion, Xur, Agent of the Nine, has now set up a permanent shop in the Tower. Strange Coins are necessary to purchase Exotic items from this mysterious merchant.
How to Get Strange Coins in Destiny 2
Strange Coins in Destiny 2 are best acquired from weekly activities, but you can also earn them from playlist activities like Iron Banner, Onslaught, and Trials of Osiris. Finally, there is a small chance they will drop from chests and certain campaign missions.
Continuously complete the following weekly activities to give yourself the best chance to earn Strange Coins:
- Vanguard Ops
- Crucible
- Gambit
These ritual activities often include weekly activity boosts that stack with all rewards. Although they are not directly helpful, you should also focus on the Rituals Pathfinder in order to earn additional XP along the way.
Spending 47 Strange Coins on Xur will earn you the Favor of the Nine buff each week. This lasts 11 days, stacking up to 3 times, and resets the timer each time you add a stack. Once the full stack gets going, you may get 4 times the normal amount of Strange Coins from each activity.
