How to get Chronologs in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is embracing the trend of making season passes more permanent with the addition of Chronologs, a new currency that lets you unlock items from old season passes.

Chronologs were added to the game with the Ash & Iron update, creating a new kiosk specifically to handle old cosmetics. With the update, you can buy access to certain cosmetics from nearly every previous season, though there’s a Silver buy-in.

Here’s how you can get and spend your Chronologs in Destiny 2.

What are Chronologs in Destiny 2?

Chronologs are the new currency introduced in Ash & Iron. You can use them to obtain items from old season passes or exchange them for a myriad of materials, such as Deepsight Harmonizers and Ascendant Shards (each capped at five per season). They appear in your regular inventory, so it’s easy to keep track of how many you have.

To use your Chronologs, head to the Monument to Seasons Past in the Tower, right next to the Exotic Archive. Interacting with it opens an interface with all seasons from Shadowkeep, except for the previous pass. For instance, opening it in Ash & Iron displays every season pass until Heresy, with the first half of Reclamation (with The Edge of Fate) unavailable for purchase until the next season debuts.

All Chronolog prices in Destiny 2

Items on sale for Chronologs have a somewhat consistent price, though Bungie may change these at will.

How to get more Chronologs in Destiny 2

You can get more Chronologs by running through the current season pass (or rewards pass, as Bungie has come to call it post-The Edge of Fate). You get 3,000 Chronologs if you buy the rewards pass, but free-to-play guardians only get around half that.

You also get 500 Chronologs by purchasing each past season. That’s probably not a viable method to get more Chronologs unless you really want them, but you should factor it into your calculations if you’re planning to grab some old cosmetics.

If you bought any applicable item during one of Eververse’s Flashback Sales, you’ll automatically receive access to that season pass for free, as well as the 500 Chronologs that come with it.

How to exchange Chronologs in Destiny 2

The Monument to Seasons Past has an Exchange tab, which lets you buy several items with this new season-related currency. Here are the exchange rates, though we’ve marked particularly bad deals so you’re aware of them.

Spending 100 Chronologs for seven Strange Coins is a terrible deal, since Strange Coins aren’t hard to get from the Portal. They’re far more common than Chronologs, so do not buy them. The same goes for Exotic Engrams and Enhancement Prisms. Eververse Engrams hinge on personal preference, but I’ve been disappointed enough in them to think they’re not worth the trouble (this would’ve been an entirely different sentence if Nonary Engrams were for sale, however).
