Within the Year One content of Destiny, players could take part in weekly strike events which would reward up to nine Strange Coins making it the best way to save up for when Xur visits. For a handful of Strange Coins, players can purchase hard to find items like the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher, which caused quite a stir within the community when it became available a few weeks ago. Sometimes though, the quickest way to obtain a new exotic item or two is to visit Xur, a merchant who appears at The Tower only on weekends. Being a loot based game, Destiny encourages players to participate in new missions each week for a chance at earning exceedingly rare gear or weapons.
