The Gjallarhorn returns in Destiny with “The Dawning of the Iron Lords”. According to Bungie, it will be the weapon with the most wolves. However, a fan shows that there is still room for improvement.
Last week, the jaws of numerous Guardians dropped: Every player will have the opportunity to snag a Year 3 Gjallarhorn in the Autumn expansion. Pre-order customers will even receive this exotic rocket launcher with a black-silver paint job.
Gjallarhorn – The weapon with the most wolves in Destiny
More specific information about the Year 3 version of the Gjallarhorn is not yet known. What perks will it come with? To what extent will it lose its former strength? One can assume that Bungie will not introduce a new OP weapon of such magnitude like the Year 1 Gjallarhorn again.
One piece of information revealed by the community manager DeeJ – and which is also seen in the specially produced trailer for the return of the Gjallarhorn: The Gjallarhorn will definitely be the weapon with the most wolves. What does that mean?
This refers to the Gjallarhorn-exclusive perk “Wolfpack Rounds”. This was essentially responsible for the Gjallarhorn achieving its enormous status among the Guardians.
The Wolfpack Rounds cause the payload to split into tracking sub-munitions upon detonation – which not only looks incredibly cool but also deals massive damage. Therefore, it was often seen in forums that a Gjallarhorn was required: If you didn’t have a Gjallarhorn, you couldn’t participate in the raid.
This perk is now also confirmed for the Year 3 version. Whether and what changes it will experience remains to be seen.
A few wolves can still fit on it
Currently, a fan in the community has the laughs on his side: He accuses Bungie of being stingy with the “most wolves per weapon”. The Guardian needs as many wolves as possible. Therefore, he shows how he would have designed the Gjallarhorn:
Many fans celebrate this image, although – or probably because of – the wolves were very unprofessionally “attached” with tape.
Also amusing is Bungie’s reaction, who seemingly caught wind of this image: They ask whether the Guardian really thinks that these taped wolves will withstand the harsh elements of Old Russia.
Who knows, maybe the Golden Age produced extremely strong tape.
