Destiny: How to Get Strange Coins and How to Find Xur, Agent of the Nine

Strange Coins is the currency which is used to buy the Exotic pieces of armor from the Xur, Agent of the Nine, how to get these coins, but hardly there are not many ways to get them. The main way to get them is weekly heroic events. Only level 22 and 26 version of the weekly heroic will get the 3 Strange coins for completion, and only 28 will get 6 Strange Coins. You can complete all these level per week to get the 12 Strange Coins.

I have 8 coins.. guess ill have to wait till next weekend to get that awesome helmet :)

nX3936d ago

The current items will probably be replaced next week. I have 11 coins but I'll wait for next week as well.

LAWSON723936d ago

If they do they probably simply have a rotation I seriously doubt Xur would have these items only once in a blue moon and one of those few occasions are when nobody has 23 strange coins, especially red death a weapon that was shown off multiple times.

Mikelarry3936d ago

Lol i only got 1, how are you guys getting them

Soldierone3936d ago

I got 4 from the encryption items when I took a bunch of stuff back to the Tower.

tracyllrkn3936d ago

You can get them from the Crucible and doing Heroic Strikes.

Mikelarry3936d ago

Thanks for the info, going to try that now

3-4-53936d ago

I'm seeing people get quite a few of them playing PvP in the Crucible.

I love this comments section. It shows that people are having fun with the game despite internet BS

SINISTERGENESIS3936d ago

Internet BS ? You mean that people were let down due to what any media outlet ( including Bungie) hyped the game to be... For the initial release of the game, the content was lacking in many areas. Not to say the game is absolutely terrible which would be an exaggeration, but the game was completely over exaggerated and is so bare it's almost disturbing how much their standards have slipped in terms of how un thought out the game was released...

Wasn't it also in development for 5 years? Look there are very solid parts of the game where you can see the GOTY Quality but it's outweighed by the cons for a lot of people. Glad people are having fun but those bashing those who feel like I do and make it the trend of the week to do such are pure trashy losers ( not saying you said anything like that but saying internet garbage like you're referring to those whose opinions are like mine. )

Blasphemy3936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

@ geekman You mean the mediocre reviews to go with the game of the same caliber?

admiralvic3936d ago

I've gotten 21 so far. Not sure how I feel, since if I didn't buy the helmet I could afford the rifle, but at the same time I don't like Pulse rifles. =\

On topic~

Anyone else find it amusing when a site writes a paper thin and simple guide like this and still manages to get a number of things wrong? Like each difficulty actually gives 3 coins, but the rewards stack on higher difficulties. So if you haven't done the strike, then the 28 will give 9 coins and like 300 Vanguard rep, where as if you do the first one the reward will drop to 6 coins and 250 rep (I believe) and if you do both, then it drops to 3 coins and 150 rep (pic for proof http://i.imgur.com/wkZ9uHh.... ), though come the end of the day you're still capped at 9 coins a week via that method instead of 12.

You can also get strange coins via crucible matches, which is one of the easier methods.

cr33ping_death3936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

I finally got the helmet for my Hunter. Looks awesome. And i got two legendary machine guns. No legendary armor though. Im close to 2nd rank Dead Orbit and got enough crucible marks to buy their gear. I love this game :) yes it has its flaws but i love it.

P.s not a big fan of the pulse rifles either

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast294d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole294d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_294d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981294d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140294d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85294d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj294d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman294d ago (Edited 294d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake294d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn294d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg294d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07293d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom294d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac293d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake294d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark293d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde293d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125293d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
