How To Get The Strange Key In Destiny 2 And What It’s Used For

Destiny 2 celebrated the 30th anniversary of Bungie back in December of 2021, and with the celebration came a new activity, Dares of Eternity. Dares of Eternity brought an surplus of new weapons, cosmetics, and more for players to earn. However, one of these items was labeled as the Strange Key, and layers were stumped on what to do. So today, let’s discuss how to get the Strange Key in Destiny 2, and what it’s used for.

How To Get The Strange Key In Destiny 2

For the short and sweet answer, you can obtain the Strange Key by reaching Rank 4 with Xur from playing Dares of Eternity. Completing bounties and continuously playing the activity will be the fastest way to rank up. Speak with Xur in the Treasure Hoard to check your progress.

What Is The Strange Key Used For In Destiny 2?

Obtaining the Strange Key is one of many steps in the Magnum OPs questline where the end goal is to obtain the Exotic Sidearm, Forerunner. Halo fans will smile upon completion as the Forerunner greatly resembles the Magnum Pistol from the Halo games.

Once you acquire the Strange Key, your next objective will be to head to the valley area in the Treasure Hoard (it’s the area behind where you spawn). You’ll have to do a rigorous jumping puzzle to obtain the Anomalous Object. After securing the Anomalous Object, head back to Banshee at the Tower to then claim your new Exotic Sidearm, Forerunner.
