In Destiny 2, you need a new currency for Xur. A player has now calculated the easiest way to obtain the new “Strange Coins,” and it only cost him his weekend.
What are Strange Coins? The Strange Coins, or Seltsamen Münzen, are the new currency you need for Xur. There are various ways and methods to obtain them. Some of these are more efficient, while others are less so.
To find out the best way to get the currency, a player sacrificed his weekend for you, and his results are surprising.
In the new trailer for Destiny 2, you can see how things continue after The Final Shape.:
A Weekend for a Simple Revelation
How did the player spend his weekend? As kylenbd writes on Reddit, he spent his weekend trying out all the methods in Destiny 2 that grant Strange Coins.
- His list included PvP activities like Gambit and Crucible, which, however, never consistently provide the same number of coins, because you don’t win every round.
- The new activity Onslaught wasn’t bad. The team received 4 coins for 10 waves, plus an additional one due to the “Favor of the Nine” effect. However, the activity was sometimes quite slow, as some enemies spawned far away or were left behind.
- The Nightfalls of the Vanguard do give coins, but only at higher difficulty levels, providing more than the Vanguard: Strikes. So, for the normal Strikes, you get as many coins as for an ordinary Nightfall.
After reviewing the facts, he quickly realized what needed to be done.
What is the best way to get Strange Coins? To obtain the new currency from Xur, you should ideally play Vanguard: Strikes, specifically the “Devil’s Lair” strike in the Cosmodrome. Experienced players like kylenbd can complete the strike in under 7 minutes and earn 6 coins per run when they have overlapping “Favor of the Nine” active.
For those who want to be very efficient, the Reddit user also recommends grinding catalysts simultaneously, as “The only two checkpoints in the strike involve defeating fighters.
The first is a room with 3 waves that must be defeated while defending a ghost (this room is exceptionally easy), and the second is the field with the walker at the end. In the second encounter, you only need to defeat the 2 Briggs and the walker to get to the boss.”
With this method, kylenbd and his team manage about one coin per minute. Even if you don’t want to farm coins all day, a few “Devil’s Lair” strikes can surely be worthwhile for you to fill up your account a bit. The god of Destiny 2 conquers an extra-hard challenge for 12 players alone – and that just after 24 hours
