Strange Coin was a currency way back that was removed from Destiny 2 but with The Final Shape update, this currency was added to the game again.
Tied with Xur, these coins may now be used to make purchases from the peddler of strange curios and there are now even more options to choose from.
Guardians may obtain these coins and save them for later on when they find Xur, who can sell them not only Exotic Gear but also other items.
How To Get Strange Coins?
Back then, Strange coins could be earned in the Dares of Eternity and Paraversal Hauls, but now they are much easier to obtain.
You can get these by completing various activities and will often get them if you tend to complete your weekly playlist activities.
Included in the methods of obtaining Strange Coins are Vanguard, Crucible, Gambit, Trials, Iron Banner, and Onslaught activities.
Strange Coin Uses
Strange Coins are used to purchase several items from Xur, which cost different amounts based on what you plan to purchase.
You can choose from the Multivarious Strange Offers, which has a set of random items that include Exotics, Catalyst, Engrams, and more.
Additionally, you can check for More Strange Offers to view to get Strange Material Offers, Strange Gifts, and even get a buff that can help you get more Strange Coins.
Xur will also have Strange Gear offers, which allow you to purchase random or specific Exotic gear that he has in stock for Strange Coins.
Loyalty Program of the Nine
The Loyalty Program of the Nine is a feature that Xur has, which allows you to get a buff after you have spent a certain amount of Strange Coins.
Purchasing this buff will give you a chance to obtain additional Strange Coins whenever you get some after completing activities.
Obtaining this buff before farming Strange Coins is the best way to get as many as possible so that you have more to spend later.
Verdict
Getting Exotic Weapons and Armor has become easier now that Guardians may use Strange Coins to purchase them.
The other items that Xur has for sale may become useful at times and you can always check what he has in store whenever you find him.
Since you can purchase Catalysts from Xur, it would be wise to check back to see if he has one that you may need later.
