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.
