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 survivor.

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

 * Completing the Game by defeating the and escaping successfully will yield 10 Lunar Coins.
