In Destiny , the exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn is still the benchmark. All 167 Ultras get a visit from Gjallarhorn.
There are the normal enemies in Destiny with red health bars, then there are the Majors, who have a yellow bar. Above them hover 167 Ultras, those are the named enemies, the bosses of Destiny. All 167 just got a gjallart from YouTuber BlazeBoss 17.
Let’s take a look at this:
The Gjallarhorn remains the cult weapon in the MMO shooter Destiny, even though there isn’t much to gjall during the current content drought.
Gjallarhorn – a rocket launcher through the ages
The iconic rocket launcher takes its name from Norse mythology. Heimdall blows the Gjallarhorn to warn of enemies. Or he takes his daily dose of mead. The old tales report: Gjallarhorn can also be used as a drinking vessel.
In Destiny, the cult weapon was sought after in Year 1, as it dealt significantly more damage with its pack missiles than any other weapon. There was even a special dance that some performed before opening a chest to appease the loot gods, hoping for mercy this time and for them to pour out their bounty.
In Year 1, the Gjallarhorn turned every boss into fodder. It was so strong that teams didn’t have to learn or apply the tactics for specific bosses; they could simply blast away foes like Skolas. At that time, the name “golden crowbar” was circulating. The Gjallarhorn opened many doors; in some random groups, you couldn’t get in unless you could show an entrance Gjallar.
The rocket launcher was given a break in Year 2. Bungie didn’t want every year to be a Gjallarhorn year; other weapons should have their time in the spotlight.
With “Rise of Iron” and Year 3, Gjallarhorn made a nostalgic return to Destiny. Who knows, perhaps we will soon find a use for the treasure in Destiny 2? At the moment, it is still unclear whether Guardians can take their rocket launcher with them or how that will be in the sequel. Our readership is also divided on what they would prefer.
