A YouTube artist has built the most sought-after exotic weapon from Destiny, the rocket launcher Gjallarhorn, out of Lego bricks.
More than 1.15 meters long and weighing over 15 pounds, almost 8 kilos: The Lego Gjallarhorn, created by the YouTube artist ZaziNombies. Of course, there is no pre-made set from LEGO that you could just snap together for something like this. The Gjallarhorn is a unique piece, a one-off. It is the result of improvisation and having an eye for the right bricks. And a lot was needed: Over 3500 individual parts were used to build the Gjallarhorn. Its name is derived from Norse mythology: There, Heimdall’s horn carries the name. That horn he blows to warn the Aesir of Ragnarök, the apocalypse.
Instead of a wolf’s head, the iconic symbol of the rocket launcher, the artist uses the mandibles of the Lego creature from a specific series. In fact, most components of this impressive creation come from this “Bionicle” set – they simply provide cool embellishments, it’s amazing how harmonious the details look, even if they create a completely different picture up close..
The Gjallarhorn is by far the most sought-after and powerful weapon in Destiny. Until once, right at the beginning of the Destiny era, it had never been available from Xur, the Agent of the Nine. It is considered an absolute exception weapon. Guardians perform the most absurd rituals to get their hands on it. For many, the thought of owning it one day is the main motivation to tackle the Nightfall strike and the raid each week. Thanks to the cluster rockets, the Wolfpack Rounds, which additionally rise into the air when firing the weapon, it simply deals devastating damage and thus spectacular actions are made possible.
The artist has previously built the weapons Thunderlord and Icebreaker, as well as ‘The Last Word’.
Nice job!
