Where To Spend Strange Coins Destiny 2
Okay, Guardians, let's talk about Strange Coins. You know, those little glimmering discs that are almost as common as a Tuesday in the Tower? You pick 'em up after completing activities, like doing chores around the house... except instead of laundry, you're blasting Hive with a rocket launcher.
But just like finding a stray twenty in your old jeans, the real question isn't how you got the Strange Coins, it's what to do with them! It's the age-old gamer dilemma: spend now on that tempting shiny thing, or save for something even shinier later? Decisions, decisions…
Xûr, the Weekend Vendor of Wonders (and Maybe Junk)
The main attraction, the head honcho, the guy who makes Strange Coins actually… well, strange: Xûr. This Agent of the Nine appears every weekend like clockwork. He's the Destiny equivalent of that weird uncle who shows up unannounced with a car trunk full of "deals" you're not quite sure about.
Must Read
You'll find him lurking in a random social space – the Tower, the EDZ, Nessus. Think of it like searching for that elusive parking spot at the mall on Black Friday. Except instead of shoppers, you're dodging fellow Guardians eager to snag the latest exotic he's hocking.
What does Xûr sell? That's the million-Glimmer question! Usually, he's got:
- An Exotic Weapon: Sometimes a gem, sometimes... well, a forgotten Exotic Auto Rifle collecting dust. It's like buying a mystery box; you might get a Playstation 5 or a pair of socks.
- Exotic Armor for Each Class: A helmet for your Titan, gauntlets for your Hunter, robes for your Warlock. It's worth checking if he's selling armor with a great stat roll, even if it is for an exotic you never use.
- Exotic Engram: Feeling lucky? This engram guarantees an Exotic, but be warned: it could be something you already have! It's like ordering a surprise from a coffee shop - it might be what you wanted, or a complete wildcard!
- Xenology quest: By completing this quest, you get an exotic cipher, letting you buy older exotics from the tower's exotic archive! This is an extremely important quest, and is well worth the time to complete it!
Should you buy it? Here's where things get tricky. If you're a new player, absolutely! Xûr is your fast track to building your Exotic collection. Even for veterans, it's worth checking his wares for god-rolled armor. Remember, those stats matter!
Beyond Xûr: Where Else Can You Spend Those Shiny Discs?
Alright, so Xûr is the obvious choice, but are there other options? The short answer is, not really, beyond buying legacy engrams from Rahool in the tower.
But hey, don't let those Strange Coins burn a hole in your virtual pocket! Saving them up for a rainy Xûr day is always a good strategy. You never know when he'll be carrying that perfect Exotic you've been dreaming about.
Think of it this way: those Strange Coins are like spare change you keep in a jar. You might not use them every day, but when the ice cream truck comes around, you'll be glad you had them.
Final Thoughts: Spend Wisely, Guardian!
Strange Coins are a nice little bonus in Destiny 2, a reward for your hard work and dedication (or just plain good luck). Don't be afraid to splurge on something that catches your eye, but also remember to think ahead. A savvy Guardian is a geared-up Guardian! Now go forth, collect those Strange Coins, and may your rolls be ever in your favor!
Happy hunting!
