The DLC “Darkness Lurks” brought two new rocket launchers for the MMO shooter Destiny , the exotic Dragon’s Breath and the raid boss drop Crota’s Hunger. In two video clips, a Youtuber tests them for damage and utility.
The lucky ones among you will say with a smirk: “What? There are other rocket launchers besides Gjallarhorn?” But due to its rarity, it is simply not an option for most, unless the Guardians’ prayers are answered and Xur distributes Gjallarhorns like candy on Friday, December 26.
For all non-Gjallarhorn users: The DLC Darkness Lurks brought two new and notable rocket launchers to Destiny. A Youtuber seems to have developed a fascination for rocket launchers and has taken a look at both in truly remarkable test videos that we would like to introduce to you.
Dragon’s Breath – exotic and leaves a damage zone
The exotic rocket launcher Dragon’s Breath was the star in a video with DrCripsy. Just because of its extraordinary design with the painted and snarling dragon face, it is worth a look.
In the game itself, it has the disadvantage that its rockets are extremely slow, so the Youtuber recommends choosing perks that compensate for this and increase speed.
The strength of Dragon’s Breath is that the rockets leave a damage zone, a void zone, on the ground behind. Enemies take damage when standing in it. It’s a good way to damage tightly packed enemy hordes that hardly move.
Dragon’s Breath drops from the first chest, the so-called solo chest, in Crota’s End. However, it can also be found in strikes and numerous other locations in the game, albeit with a relatively low probability. It is a random exotic drop.
Crota’s Hunger – not Gjallarhorn, but close
The legendary rocket launcher Crota’s Hunger is one of the five raid weapons that can drop from Crota in the raid Crota’s End. The Black Hammer and Ir Yût’s Song have already made a name for themselves. Crota’s Hunger is also right up there. As a special gimmick, it has smart rockets that lock onto and track their targets. While this doesn’t guarantee a hit, it is useful.
Crota’s Hunger has the advantage of not taking up a valuable exotic slot and deals decent damage – right in the face of the enemies. Plus, it looks badass with the skull grinning at you while aiming.

Alternatives to Gjallarhorn alternatives?
Although neither rocket launcher can replace Gjallarhorn, both are a useful addition to the arsenal of Destiny’s Guardians.
If you can’t get either of them, or if you want to do without the exotic rocket launcher Truth that Xur had recently, you can still strike a deal with the vendors of the Crucible and either get the One Way Ticket 000 for a Crucible accolade and 150 marks or you can get this treasure here, the Valedictorian 944, for Vanguard accolades and Vanguard marks:
