Lunar Coins

Lunar Coins are a currency found in Risk of Rain 2 that the player can use to purchase Lunar items, activate Newt Altars, Shrines, and Lunar Shop Refreshers as well as unlock the Artificer survivor.

Unlike items or the other form of currency, Gold, Lunar Coins will carry over between games.

Obtaining Lunar Coins

 * Any enemy can drop a Single Lunar Coin at a rate of 0.5%, but each drop of a lunar coin per run halves this chance. Turret kills currently do not drop lunar coins, due to a bug.
 * Obliterating yourself at an Obelisk in the Hidden Realm A Moment, Fractured will yield 5 Lunar Coins.
 * Obliterating yourself while holding will instead advance you to the Hidden Realm A Moment, Whole, where you must defeat a Twisted Scavenger for 10 Lunar Coins looted from their backpack in addition to the 5 Lunar Coins from obliterating, for a total of 15 Lunar Coins.
 * Completing the Game by defeating the Final Boss and escaping successfully will yield 10 Lunar Coins.

Trivia

 * Lunar Coins used to be whole at the start of the Early Access, but were changed later in development along with the icon denoting the amount of coins a player has.
