I love the lore tab for Gjallarhorn *Gjallarhorn* “If there is beauty in destruction, why not also in its delivery?” - Feizel Crux Randy finally reaches the Tower. It was a long road from the Cosmodrome, but Shaw Han had given him some good directions. His ship had only exploded twice on the trip from Old Russia, and while he defended his Ghost's second (and much better) repair job, he even found some loot! As he materializes on the receiving pad of the Tower, a gathering horde of Humans and Guardians of all "ages" gather around a singular figure deep in the crowd. Randy can feel an almost mythic aura-exotic, even-radiating from the figure. He jabs his scuffed elbows through the crowd to get a clear look. When he finally breaks through, he understands the draw: the Guardian. They stand, one leg propped up on the Tower railing. Randy's Ghost talked about this person a few times before. Some kind of hero. Big deal. Randy was a hero too. "Amazing," a Titan says about the weapon in the Guardian's hands. Randy looks at the Titan wearing a strange chainmail visor. "It's just a rocket launcher. I got one of those in Old Russia the other day," Randy brags proudly, unholstering a launcher. His Ghost, Dandy, nudges him. "Now listen here, berry blue," Dandy says. "What you are looking at in the Guardian's hands is a top-of-the-line wolfpack deployment device. Each firing of which unleashes hell in the form of a swarm of homing micro rockets. I've told you a flock of crows is called a murder? Well, they really should've reserved the name for this swarm instead." Randy holds up his Bad Omens. "I can put a tracking module on this." Dandy chuckles. "I guess." Randy looks at the Bad Omens. His pride turns into frustration at the mediocrity of his equipment. In a fit of anger, he heaves the launcher over the Guardian's head and over the Tower railing. The Guardian pivots and drops to a solid stance. They shoulder and fire off the Gjallarhorn like a volcanic eruption, blowing the Bad Omens to smithereens. Micro tracking rockets hunt down and turn each piece of falling debris to fireworks before they hit the ground. The acrid-sweet smell of burning fuel hangs in the air. Randy's jaw drops. The Guardian steps forward and places the Gjallarhorn into Randy's hands with a smile. "Start your legend with this instead."

[@marshythemellow3892]

About Part 1 of controversy: This isn't new. Gjallahorn is rather innocent compared to Anarchy, Izanagi's, Lament and many other paywalled exotics owning the meta. DPS for most people would be tough if you haven't paid a cent to Destiny 2. Also, as mentioned in the video the other Exotic perk literally buffs your allies non-exotic rocket launchers and encourages bringing out your god roll rocket launchers for stronger DPS, Meaning there isn't an LFG problem of "Gjallahorn or kick". And 25 dollars is definitely worth it for this content where we get this, and other weapons from the dungeon, and even Artifice armor giving an extra slot for artifact mods. Having a third artifact mod can buff stackable mods, and let players bring 3 champion mods for every kind without issue. Probably a hot take, but to my standards Gjallahorn is currently a balanced Exotic Rocket Launcher, and is only "broken" if you do basic things like buffing your damage with mods like Argent, Elemental Wells and Warmind mods. Just like how Titans have been able to turn a funny hammer into Mjolnir, doing hundreds of thousands to millions per throw with buffs, mods and Tractor Cannon. And also if Paid exotics aren't powerful to a degree people would argue why they're paying for it in the first place.

[@sunshotwithanornament2475]

I’d definitely agree with the fact G horn isn’t broken. Originally I did actually think so but it’s not that crazy what I will say though is it’s definitely very high up and it compares to a lot of linears paired with particle deconstruction which I don’t think should necessarily be happening

[@Rnjesus386]

G horn is really well balanced, they even hit it hard enough to where it does like 60 something % less damage to bosses with wolf pack rounds

[@ShinSnipes]

@@sunshotwithanornament2475 well why wouldn’t it be that powerful? As the man said, it’s behind a paywall. If it was a bad exotic not only would that be a bad look on bungie to d1 vets but just a bad look in general. If linears didn’t have particle decon they wouldn’t necessarily even be in the meta right now. The damage numbers from gjally are in the right place

[@zochi_6224]

Bungee wanted to avoid raid exclusion, the pack being $25 doesn’t matter as the solution is already built into the gun. As long as you have a decent rocket launcher you no longer face that barrier to entry. you basically have all of gjallarhorns perks on hand. your win condition in your back pocket provided someone else has the gjallarhorn. I can understand the arguments about paying $25 for a dungeon, but it’s bot whats going to be getting you into LFG’s

[@Spartan-sz7km]

What's going to get you in lfgs is arguably worse, if you don't have a good roll rocket launcher, gjallahorn catalyst is the next best thing. Royal entry, hezen vengeance come to bond, I think lasting impression would be the best perk

[@chewybaca6450]

Not only that but sleeper (without particle) and whisper do similar damage to the ghorn. They have more sustained damage and total damage with a little less burst damage.

[@mikzpwnz_3199]

Also it's encounter dependant in the raid. I don't know about any of you, but it would really feel uncomfortable with 6 people using rocket launchers right next to eachother during something like Taniks' DPS phase. That's sounding like something doomed to fail.

[@TheYoutubeTick]

yup right now it looks like royal entry with lasting impression is much better with ghally then having another ghally

[@danconti5984]

u also can't put Big Ones on Gally which u can do with adept RL's which arguably would make them better than gally if they get wolfpack rounds

[@drakenforge4276]

[@sinister2376]

I have fond memories of Ghorn. I got mine pretty early on in the game from the crucible. I didn't even have legendary gear. I was leveling it up at Venus when I saw a group against wave after wave of vex. So I joined in to help out. The encounter ended then they invited me along for my first ever VOG. I didn't know what a raid was or that there was a raid in the game. Good times.

And gjallahorn wont be able to kill atheon in master even with 4 phases

[@felps_duprat]

@@MeDsCP that also cant one phase atheon on master, i used 9 rockets of gjally with weapons of light, focusing lens and tether and barelly got 600k, and yes, i had 1352

[@VRGUILE]

When Ghorn was announced to come back, I was actually fairly confident that Bungie wouldn't mess it up. The community loves to accuse Bungie for poor balancing but this was a very calculated move. They knew that Gjallarhorn carried a huge implication that they had to get right and when put into the context of the current D2 landscape, the exotic isn't as such of an outlier as most people would knee-jerk think upon initial reaction. First, we have to look at the current landscape for top dps options, immediately it's a stark difference from D1 ie. There are multiple options available that provide similar levels of performance: - Sleeper - PD fusions (as of S15) - *Whisper + Divinity - Anarchy/Witherhoard + another weapon - Lament - Lucky pants + Handcannon etc... Back in D1, it was either Ghorn or none. The very fact that players have a selection of viable high damage weapons to choose from rather having to pray that RNGesus smiles upon them for one weapon to drop immediately starts to dispell Ghorns first issue that everyone was concerned about (before you @ me, yes I'm aware that some of the examples I shared are not the 'meta' options (currently or otherwise) but that doesn't change the fact that they do notably more damage than other weapons. Also some people may have a preference towards one weapon type over another, nothing is stopping you from slaying out with a weapon that differs from what some one else tells you is the 'must have' weapon of the season). Second is the balance when compared to said other dps options. Whisper and Sleeper undoubtedly provide more bang for your buck in terms of total damage, but you have to land crits consecutively which makes them more difficult to use. PD fusions provide great dps, total damage and potentially doesn't use your exotic slot, but particle deconstruction will only last until the end of the season. Witherhoard/Anarchy combo can potentially provide greater dps/total damage than other options, but you have to dedicate 2 weapons to it as opposed to one. Lament provides high burst dps just like Ghorn with great ammo economy and ad clear potential, but it suffers in sustained dps and the user must be point blank to use it. Ghorn provides its own dps niche: High burst dps, good sustained dps and ad clear as well as ease of use, but has low ammo reserves resulting bad ammo economy and comparatively lower total damage. Last and most importantly, a team DOESN'T HAVE to have every player run Ghorn. Pack Hunter was clearly designed to be an anti 'must have Gjallahorn' perk. So anybody with a well rolled legendary rocket can participate and theoretically do better than Ghorn, so long as at least one Ghorn is present. Which also helps to dispell players need to buy the anniversary pack. It's a rather clever trick when you think about it: they knew that the target audience for the pack are primarily D1 vets high on nostalgia. And because of it, people who didn't buy the pack are more than likely to come across at least one player in their team that has a Gjally which rends the issue of Gjallarhorn promoting power creep, exclusivity or the price tag issue (at least in my eyes) a moot point.

[@4ncientGu150]

See, I thought the point of Pack Hunter sharing the Wolfpack rounds was that it sored it around and showed people how awesome it was. It made the rocket launcher into a walking ad, don't you want this? Look how amazing this is! I didn't even consider how it combats the whole, must have Gjally or else problem. That was probably their main intention.

Gjallarhorn has a lot of sentimental value to me as it was my first exotic from just a mere engram world drop. I had no idea there even was a rarity higher than legendary at the time, and it felt like I had something no one else knew about….yet.

[@averagebananaenjoyer6548]

I think they're way of not excluding players from raids when not having the Gjallarhorn, is it giving Wolfpack rounds to allied rocket launchers.

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

I remember when Xur was selling Gjallerhorn the second time in D1 and I didn’t get it mainly because I was gonna get it anyway from the Rise of Iron quest and the special Iron Ghorn version. I was never lucky to get it as a drop during my entire time playing Destiny so getting it the first time in a cool quest that I completed on my own made it a little special to me.

[@ericbeers1262]

Except all of what you just said is a load of crap. The second, and last, time Xur sold Gjallarhorn was a few weeks or so before The Taken King. It wasn't until a full year later with Rise of Iron that we got the Iron Gjallarhorn. In other words, no, you did not know that you would get it in Rise of Iron at the time Xur was selling it.

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

@@ericbeers1262 ok I messed it up because it been 4+ years since then. Didn’t have to say it was crap. I don’t check every time Xur comes around so I missed out on things.

[@redfalcon8062]

I'm glad I bought the Anniversary for the Gjally. And now I can experience the Gjally along with everyone else and it's back and better than ever. And the fact that people can now use Legendary Rocket Launchers with it (especially New Lights that just have Bad Omens or a Blue Rocket Launcher) is extremely helpful. I've never played D1 but I've heard people being kept away from raids just because they didn't have Gjallarhorn and that is not ok. With this new perk now people without Gjallarhorn can now help in raids.

[@ForgieDusker]

9:38 we had the "option" to buy Gjallarhorn, yes, but the price was too steep, like most of the troll options in that specific menu... but in Season of the Hunt, Spider said "you kill that Celebrant, you get to take anything from my trove." and we took Crow. the real Gjallarhorn was the friendships we made all along

Would've been funny if Crow had've helped us get to make up for that. Ultimately all the Spider had was a pretty replica though, not the real thing.

Truly I actually liked the quest wish Shawn, made me actually grow to like the bastard. To me he was always some random “high and mighty” guardian who just rubbed me the wrong way, made me always roll my eyes when he talked. But the quest was actually nice, showed me a more fleshed out character. He was excited to see the return of gala, wanted it back properly. He admits that even he had taken a few peaks into the loot cave out of curiosity. And I think what did it for me was when he gives us the base for the rocket. He hands us something he gives the new lights to practice with before it was decommissioned. He takes a moment to pause our conversation to teach a new light how to form a Grenade before continuing. It made me realize that he isn’t some snob but actually a chill hunter that cares a bit more for helping the new bloods a bit more than being some legend, which I like.

In 2015-2016 I was 17 years old in high school and I had 2 herniated discs in my back. I was in constant pain and had pretty much lost my life, I couldn’t go out with my friends anymore because I was in so much pain, I only went to school for the 3 classes I needed to graduate and then went back home. I played a ton of Destiny 1 in year 1 of the game because I couldn’t do anything else and I finally got my first Gally during the House of Wolves dlc from Atheon. It was 1 in the morning and my buddy had to go to bed as soon as we got done with the raid. I couldn’t sleep most of the time because of my back so I would save all my daily bounties from the vanguard, Petra in the Reef and I think there was more from maybe Eris or someone else but I would run all the bounties on all 3 characters through the night after my buddy went to bed. I did the night I got the gally and for D1 vets you know how much of a grind it was to fully upgrade an exotic but with all those bounties I got it done in 1 night.

They should've made it a random drop from the first part of the dungeon where you kill enemies in the loot cave. The issues with destiny exotics is that they tell you what is needed, instead of having actual secret quest.

[@Rahburrito]

A lot of people will disagree with this, but I agree. Exotics kind of lose their "exotic" status when the way to get them is clearly spelt out for you, and you just basically talk to an NPC to get it. D1 exotics were mysterious and, well, exotic. Finding them felt really good, hence all the reactions you can find on KZbin of people getting Ghallarhorn. Hell, even getting something like Suros or Hawkmoon sort got a response like that. We need more random drop and secret quest exotics. They don't have to be like whisper or zero hour, just make them feel rare and special again.

Gjallahorn is pretty sweet rn, also u forgot that anyone with a legendary RL gets wolfpack rounds if one member of the fireteam has Gally.

Also with other mega power weapons like 1K, Whisper, and Sleeper Gally is no longer the exclusive that it was in D1. It has reasonable competition.

[@crimsonhunter278]

I find it ironic that it's named after a mythical horn that signals the beginning of Ragnarok and that the Witch Queen is the first chaper of the end, Lightfall is the middle chapter, and now with the Final Shape being the last chapter of the Light and Darkness Saga is kinda cool, in my opinion.

I got my first gally week 2 from xur. I remember doing VoG and it melted the Pretorians and my teams mates were asking me what gun I was using. I said "I don't know, some rocket" lol

[@Artakha9000]

I didn't start playing officially until Dark Below (despite the fact that I participated in the beta way back when), so I ended up finding mine in like, the third or fourth (I don't remember which) nightfall I ever played. Ended up getting 7 drops total in year 1, and that wasn't me farming or anything.

[@Korvatz]

Gjallerhorn was my first exotic which I got from my first legendary engram

[@GamingwithDeeEXC]

I missed it and didn't see a single drop for the Ghorn until the week before it was nerfed... I also want to add that I love the feeling of knowing that Ghorn isn't the best thing since sliced bread in D2. There a heavies that compete and in some situations are just out right the better choice.

[@SpeedySolgaleo]

I love the use of the god of war music

[@Competent_Cobana]

For part 2, I honestly think it's fine being busted because even though it is extremely good, we've got a few other exotic heavies that are as good if not better. Plus with the new perk it isn't even optimal to run a full raid team of Gjallarhorns, it's almost like the rocket launcher equivalent of divinity, and if people start unironically telling you that you need to have Gjallarhorn to raid with them then you're probably better off raiding with someone smarter anyway.

[@sinnlos-erfolg5869]

personally i didn't mind paying 25 dollars i love destiny 2 and therefore want to support the developers and since you could get gjallahorn i was only more determined to support i was never in destiny 1 and could never play the gjallahorn and through your videos was that held in front of my eyes really well what weight the gjallahorn had the amazement for this weapon was unbelievable and i'm grateful that your videos showed me that

[@predatorsgho]

i agree, the 25 dollar price tag is not that much compared each season, if you look at it. each season costs 15$ and this is just 25$ and you get so much more.

[@vV_Viggo]

There has been a slight improvement for the LFG Gjallarhorn issue. Before it was “everyone must have G-horn,” whereas now it’s “at least one person must have a masterworked G-horn and everyone else run a good Rocket Launcher.” It’s kind of a band-aid patch, but a sherpa is more likely to have that covered. The price tag, however, is a rather large barrier to entry. Also, if you think Gjally on its own is busted, try it with Solar Warmind Cell mods. Literally Ragnarok incarnate. Can clear a Dares level in seconds.

[@SkeetsPlays]

Love you got the Halo announcer to do the PSA lol.

[@naiire_]

I miss when exotics were actually rare the feeling of getting one out of the exotic chest in vog was unmatched now exotics are more common then legendary drops in d1

[@Xemphas]

The craziest thing I've ever seen happen for someone in Destiny 1 was my friend on his VERY FIRST completion of the Vault of Glass, he got the fucking Gjallarhorn AND the Vex Mythoclast. The dude barely played Destiny too.

[@mtaylorfilm]

I think G’Horn will continue at the current damage output - possibly to drive more sales of dlc? I personally think it should of been an exotic quest as part of the season for all players. I would of liked a solo mission where you obtain it & then by the end, your into a space with 2 other public G’horn Guardians defeating a boss. Pricing could of been slightly lower on the dungeon without G’horn but I suppose the master difficulty of the dungeon does drop extra season mod slot for gear and adept mods! On 1 run I picked up adept handling 👍

[@brmawe]

Back in D1 I got mine right after a crucible match, felt like a special Guardian back in 2015. Now that's it back feels like Bungie is in full gear now, & TWQ around the corner, welcome back GJALLARHORN.

[@infantryvet319]

I don't mind the pay wall for $25 especially when it could have been worse. Also giving other rocket launchers a nice boost without having the bundle is pretty nice and gives it a fair playing level. I have also noticed that sleeper simulant is still very viable for DPS as well especially when it comes to the new dungeon that way you don't have to have one specific exotic to do big damage on a boss.

[@GSTripleF]

Every Gjallarhorn reaction you show from D1 reminds me of getting mine from the exotic chest in VoG. These reaction videos show that nothing compares to that RNG feeling of finally getting it. This is why D2 doesn’t have the D1 vibe. The removal of exotic chests and RNG to get these things, whilst intrinsically unfair provide such amazing moments when it happens. 😀👍. I still smile about getting my GHorn, occasionally. I never smile about the ToM, OP, Whisper or OPerfected.

[@futureflash7806]

Hunger of Crota was my poor man’s gjallorhorn. Tracking and cluster bombs. It was the closest I got to using it in D1 (until xur sold it right before the nerf)

[@sunbreaker4177]

I love how he uses god of war music in the vid, hope gjallerhorn shows up in ragnarok, the horn, not the rocket launcher (would be badass, seeing kratos with gjallerhorn tho, not gonna lie)

[@stronk3801]

[@cobaltshard6016]

Never played D1, you are the sole reason I know any of this haha

[@calebcarpenter3700]

I like how they changed gally so you only really need one for good DPS, because of the extra wolfpack perk

[@outlaw2772]

The mill gaming reaction will always be iconic lol

[@madeofshavings]

I remember getting ghorn from crota wayyyy back in the day. I screamed my young man lungs out for like 20 mins. Good times

[@Halo916_]

I think the $25 price is fine because you don’t just get Gjallerhorn, you get a good sword, a great handcannon and shotgun, and (probably) the best PvP Sniper in the game, AND you get an amazing dungeon. Another reason is the Wolfpack Rounds is one of the things that makes Gjallerhorn itself and it can give other (non-exotic) rocket launchers the Wolfpack Rounds. As long as 1 person has it, everyone has it.

[@viperjd0495]

Gjallahorn is the most iconic gun in gaming history. Also I love that you used the god of war sound track

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

That's a bold statement to make.

[@aksula-1]

I think the price is well worth it, and Gjallahorn is currently the second strongest weapon in game, Sleeper being the well deserved first, depending on situations and boss phases. Fourth Horseman, Lament, and others still slay, so Bungie did a great job with balancing Gjallahorn in it's incredible yet not over the top place. I think the price is just fine, because what else also comes with the pack is well worth it, and just like Shadowkeep right now, the 30th might just be on sale in future times to come. So let's say a few seasons or years from now, a new player wants Gjally, easy! Just buy it for about $6 or $8, or whatever the price will be at that time, and it's up to them to decide whether that's worth it or not. Not to mention the Dungeon and cosmetics are pretty baller as well, and it's an excellent activity with good loot ;)

[@ethanrat_bodybuilding]

I had a full blown mental break down when I got the first time, because I had a friend that got it 5 times before I got it once. I was crying my eyes out and my parents were “in short”, heavily concerned for me.

[@GameClips-t2v]

I don't mind being excluded form gjallarhorn tbh. If a fireteam member is using it then I get wolf pack rounds aswell. At first I was shocked that they'd said everyone could celebrate 30th anv but it would cost 40 bucks (in my country) but then I was over the moon when bungo announced that 30th anv would be mostly free

THANK YOU someone else that calls randal by his name, my whole fireteam just thought it wasn’t him.

[@Daeriusus]

There's no power creep since you have other boss melting weapons like sleeper, (which is pretty much better than Gjallarhorn, even without particle) whisper and such... And those 2 are completely free to all players, so. Gjallarhorn is a good alternative if it is hard to hit crits, like for example in Atheon.

[@viktorkhrushchev1018]

i would have to disagree i believe gjallerhorn is not at its peak because of particle due to it being the seasonal damage mod its also possible we might be getting something similar for rockets when next season launches. but i will agree that sleeper is a great boss dps weapon along with whisper. 2 great options for someone who does not have gjallerhorn and even if they don't have sleeper or whisper you can still use a legendary rocket and get wolfpack rounds because of the exotic perk, and even with particle deconstruction im honestly surprised that gally can keep up with it (from my personal experience)

[@evanf1997]

without the artifact mod it would be a different story, but I'm happy gjally is powerful

[@ethandeis7427]

@@evanf1997 I believe gally and sleeper are tied overall. Gally is better burst but sleeper is better dps. People are realizing that Wolfpack rounds have a 66% damage nerf to bosses so I don’t think it’ll be a problem

[@tenacity25]

@@evanf1997 The overall DPS of both is pretty equal at base. Sleeper wins in sustained DPS, but loses in requiring precision hits + not giving wolfpack rounds to legendary rocket launchers on your fireteam. Whisper also is pretty good, behind both of them but more total damage because of just how efficient the ammo is. This is without factoring in partical deconstruction.
