The catalyst for gjallahorn has a little known bug to where some people can't get it the first two reavers spawn to get the burdened by riches debuff but the final one won't spawn me and others need traction so we can get this bug fixed
I stopped playing destiny 2 last year, but being a d1 veteran since it launched, seeing the gjallahorn coming back feels like the temptation of a recovering addict.
There is also VoG with almost all of its weapons, Eyasluna, 1000 Yard stare and Matador back in Destiny. To quote one guy on Destiny launch event: "This game is gonna destroy my social life and I can't wait for it" XD
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."
I dont think they will nerf it since there are way too many damaging options and gjallahorn is not power creep at all, on master GoA and VoG i oftem find myself saying "il use sleeper because its better" and no its not because of particle, sleeper already out performs gjallahorn without particle
@@00Grimreaper00 yee, it doens't have impact damage and wolfpack rounds deal 66% less damage, against normal enemies it does 60k, against bosses it does 20k
In one fell swoop Bungie preemptively killed the “must have G-horn or kick” meme from coming back. One person has Gjallarhorn? Everyone has Gjallarhorn!
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.
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
@@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
@@ShinSnipes I’d say I’m very fine with it being powerful I’m just saying I don’t think it’s necessarily balanced it’ll probably get nerfed down the road but Let’s have our fun with it till then
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
actually fireteams with 1 ghorn + 5 vorpal boss spec royalentry has better dps by a long way, u could prob run it with telesto, witherhoard and other dot exotics to severely out dps 6 gjally
On the big PC LFG, I have not seen that once since this came back. People doing Master are generally not idiots and know that one Gjallarhorn and five Ascendancies/Timelost Helen Vengeance/Royal Entries are better.
@@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
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.
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
@@dankerbell that's likely because most transactions don't count currency that's in the postmaster. that entire shop facade was designed to be just over the resources anyone had at the time so that Bungie didn't even have to bother coding a purchase option for the joke.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
what i like about destiny's current meta is that you have the really good weapons, that most people use, but you can also use other weapons beside the ones that are most used and still have fun and do most activities
Based off memory, the quest in rise of iron gave you the normal gjallarhorn, not the iron gjallarhorn. You got the iron gjallarhorn from pre-ordering rise of iron.
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.
Love your point on raiding. I'm a Sherpa myself and I have a STRICT rule of "I dont care what you dont have, we'll bring you along with what you *do* have" because that's how I got into raiding. Gotta support people, absolutely.
Whenever I feel like I’m unlucky, I just remember that I got Ghorn from a legendary engram at the very start of D1. Way back when legendary engrams usually gave blues instead of a legendary
I like how the catalyst makes it where even if you dont have ghally you can still pull good damage with another rocket launcher. The catalyst is probably meant to make up for the people that don't actually have it so when particle deconstruction is gone you won't be seeing must have ghally constantly in lfg's.
I finally got this legendary rocket launcher last month and i can see why my friends showed so much love for this thing and i say this was cause i started on destiny 1 near the end of its lifespan and i wasn't lucky enough to get this beast back then but getting it now through the g.o.a dungeon i got new found respect for it
The fact Gally is now not an "entire team needs it" as long as someone has it, everyone gets the Wolfpack Rounds...which is fantastic, cause it means people who can't afford the Anniversary, or just haven't gotten the pack yet...can still enjoy the strengths! With different RL perks, too XD
I was Team Edward and luckily got gjallarhorn early on and knew it was good but didn’t know how good, I can’t even remember how I got it but that I did and I was loved in raids, shame when xur sold it, felt like some exotics should have been things you always hoped for not knowing when or how you’d get them but surprisingly getting one was the best feeling you’d ever feel
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. My buddy got on the next morning with me and saw that and couldn’t believe I had it done already haha. I played till hard mode of the taken king and then quit for several years, just started playing again a few months ago and love where the game is at right now
About the not excluding people from raids part. That new perk solves it, it is more beneficial to have one person using it and the rest having really good legendary rocket launchers since they will deal more damage.
I got my Gjallarhorn from the Vault of Glass. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had extremely good luck that day also getting the Mida earlier that day. I then spent hours just upgrading my new weapon to max just to get the wolfpack rounds perk. Hard to believe how much destiny has changed! Exotics used to be so mysterious and rare. My friend at work got the Universal Remote and he went on and on about it. I miss that time and the late night raids just to finally get Vex Mythoclast and finally completed my journey for the best weapons in the game.
My Ghorn story in d1, I got it before Xur even sold it in week 2 tried it when I got it “oh so this is just like the legendary one why would I use this” (remember in d1 you had to upgrade it for the Wolfpack) so I had the god gun basically immediately and didn’t know to use it for ages until the community levelled it and realised how great it was
As someone who never got Galljahorn back in D1 i feel like i was missing out on a lot of fun when everyone else had it. But i just got it tonight from the dungeon and i'm absolutely loving it!
I love how ghorn went from a lfg nightmare to a Sherpa's best friend. A weapon that gives new players who may not have good damage weapons something to help keep up.
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.
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.
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.
Evan, whenever I watch your videos, I either binge them and use them to lull me to a sweet slumber, or I fire up Destiny 2. Time to work on my Gjallarhorn too lol
Hi Evan, In my humble opinion regarding the power creep issue: Bungie has a tendency to launch new content in an overpowered state to provide players an incentive to try out the new stuff. That content usually ends up getting nerfed as the game continues to evolve and add new overly hot content (think of stasis, and the new sword frames). Right now, given that theres a high chance that next seasons big shot mod is a RL one, theres a chance that Gally will be a little too hot at the end of season 16, but remember what happened with Anarchy after Breach and Clear. Also, I think they mentioned that they wanted to add more difficulty options into their content (at least with a legendary version of the campaign) so I think this might be balanced in future releases standards. That said, keep up the great work, happy hollidays!
Always one of my favorite memories of Destiny 1 is when i got my first exotic. I was like 10 or 11 and new nothing about Destiny and it was the first couple days of house of wolves. I finish prison of elders for the first time and open the exotic chest for the first time and boom! First exotic. The G horn!!!
13:55 which is actually a nerf making it inferior to any legendary with Wolfpack, you lose all impact dmg from ghorn so the best dps actually is just 5 hothead/royal entree 1 ghorn. A nice way to avoid gatekeeping raids though since only 1 person needs it
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
Since the "Pack Hunter" Perk makes all other legendary rocket launchers as strong as gjallarhorn (and with the right perks even stronger) I don't mind that it is locked behind a paywall. As long as one of your fireteam members has it (which is the case for these must have GHorn LFG's since this requires the leader to have it) you dont do less damage as a fireteam because someone does not have it.
Love that I made a comment about that one group making warcries when their buddy got Gjallahorn and now I see the same video and some dude mimicking a war cry in the corner
I will never forget how I got my G-Horn in year 1. I got it from a purple heavy engram from a cryptarch package. I thought it was going to be just another blue heavy rocket launcher. And boy was I wrong, I couldn’t believe it.
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
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.
I never got to really experience Ghorn in D1, but I'm actually really happy with the turn that Bungie took for it with giving a group buff if one person has Ghorn. However I'm honestly up in arms with the pay-wall seeing as it was $30 CAD, I bought it so I could have it and experience it in D2
Favorite exotic ever pvp and pve. I never got toenxperiance the rush of getting it in d1 but I cannot take it off. Gjalarhorn infinte ammo is something I never knew I needed. Also so clutch plays in survival. Only I'm left, get heavy, shoot in their general direction, all dead even if they try to escapre. Basically a free kill usually at least a double kill. Hard to use other eoxkets in pvp cups wi I have to aim lol. Also loving cryotheisa
I would always remember how I got the gjallarhorn at the cost of losing friends for like a week. I joined my friends in a destiny 1 nightfall strike but was low light/level so they told me to hide in the back and after they defeated the boss, I got it and they didn't even get any good loot so yay for me but damn, couldn't even imagine their anger fully.
The $25 for the 30th anniversary is fine. 1) Other rockets get Gjallahorns perks, and are actually better than Gjallahorn for DPS, so you dont 'need' it. 2) Usually we would be paying for another season right now. Instead, we're avoiding having to level up yet again, and getting new content that I like way more than the normal seasonal content.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
I never experienced the rush of getting Gjallerhorn from Engrams or a Raid in D1. Made up for that in ROI. And I am so happy it's back. Will it be adjusted in a future patch? Most likely, but I'm gonna have fun with it regardless. It's never leaving my inventory.
The Gjallarhorn or Kick likely wont be an issue, becasue other legendary Rocket launchers like Acendancy or Royal Entry do more Damage than G-Horn as long as they have wolfpack rounds. it would actually be counterproductive for everyone to use Gjallarhorn
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.
As a player that bought gjallarhorn from xur on week 2, I GOT INVITED to soooooo many raids. It was insane. I still remember the good old days😭🥺😍 i hope they dont nerf it in d2. Its just soooo good!
The New wolf pack perk is their homage to the peeps that couldn’t get in raids in the past cuz u didn’t have it. Now only 1 person needs it and everyone gets Wolfpack round :)
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.
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
Gjallarhorn joining Witherhoard and Divinity in the "No particular need for more then one in the fireteam" crew while still being good enough with dupes to not be detrimental if everyone's running it.
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. So that exclusivity is mute if u have ascendancy as u can have 5 ascendancy's and one gally and u all get wolfpack, which oddly might make that better than 6 gally's. 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.
Ghorn is absolutely amazing, but I do not think it will be a power creep problem. Its great in general play and lost sector stuff, but in higher end gameplay like GM nightfalls there are better options. arbalest for example is one of the best weapons for GMs but isnt great outside of those activities. Ghorn is great for raids but there are plenty of options that keep up with the damage no problem.
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 👍
Special thanks to Jeff Steitzer, the voice of god in Halo for helping with the intro!
U Serious he did this?!?!?!?!?!?!
He’s on cameo.
The catalyst for gjallahorn has a little known bug to where some people can't get it the first two reavers spawn to get the burdened by riches debuff but the final one won't spawn me and others need traction so we can get this bug fixed
Instantly recognized that voice. Been hearing it since i was 7.
Jeff is an absolute legend
I stopped playing destiny 2 last year, but being a d1 veteran since it launched, seeing the gjallahorn coming back feels like the temptation of a recovering addict.
... i came back from a hiatus just for it. It feels just like d1
There is also VoG with almost all of its weapons, Eyasluna, 1000 Yard stare and Matador back in Destiny. To quote one guy on Destiny launch event:
"This game is gonna destroy my social life and I can't wait for it" XD
Stay away until witch queen. It's not worth it rn
@@UmbrasMercy i saw a video comparing eyasluna and palindrome and for a sec i thought i was still in 2016
For me personally I came back just because of gjallahorn I would have bout it even if it was $100, I quite right when the season's kicked in
I love the lore tab for 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."
Randy? As in Randy's Throwing Knife? Mind blown...
That’s a really cool lore tab
Okay but can you imagine if ever new light got a mega-powerful rocket launcher incarnation of god? That would be sick
Honestly, it's too good for a salty new light in my opinion.
@@ghostkilla931 no, that randy is older than us and not a new light
Gjally: “My powers have doubled since we last met.”
Bungie: “Good. Double the pride, twice the nerf.”
I dont think they will nerf it since there are way too many damaging options and gjallahorn is not power creep at all, on master GoA and VoG i oftem find myself saying "il use sleeper because its better" and no its not because of particle, sleeper already out performs gjallahorn without particle

In one fell swoop Bungie preemptively killed the “must have G-horn or kick” meme from coming back. One person has Gjallarhorn? Everyone has Gjallarhorn!

@@emki3737 actually its lasting impression and clown cartridge
Still better cause gjallarhorn
"And you get a Gjallarhorn! And you get a Gjallarhorn! Everybody gets a Gjallarhorn!"
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.
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
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
@@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
@@ShinSnipes I’d say I’m very fine with it being powerful I’m just saying I don’t think it’s necessarily balanced it’ll probably get nerfed down the road but Let’s have our fun with it till then
@@ShinSnipes doesn’t sleeper contend with ghorn at almost the same level even without particle, or am I mistaken?
That PSA at the beginning threw me off guard so damn much, I was not expecting Jeff to be here
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
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
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.
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.
yup right now it looks like royal entry with lasting impression is much better with ghally then having another ghally
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
I love how the halo kill streak dude voiced the one part!
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.
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.
*Whisper + Divinity
@@TheAtomoh edited, cheers
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.
Sounds like a fun day out.
Ah yes, the returning
“Vog Master, 1350+ Gjallarhorn only”
Not really legendary rocket launchers get wolf pack rounds if you stand next to the person using the ghorn
actually fireteams with 1 ghorn + 5 vorpal boss spec royalentry has better dps by a long way, u could prob run it with telesto, witherhoard and other dot exotics to severely out dps 6 gjally
And gjallahorn wont be able to kill atheon in master even with 4 phases
On the big PC LFG, I have not seen that once since this came back. People doing Master are generally not idiots and know that one Gjallarhorn and five Ascendancies/Timelost Helen Vengeance/Royal Entries are better.
@@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
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.
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.
someone actually managed to collect 20 exotic engrams using his postmaster but he still couldn't do it
@@dankerbell that's likely because most transactions don't count currency that's in the postmaster. that entire shop facade was designed to be just over the resources anyone had at the time so that Bungie didn't even have to bother coding a purchase option for the joke.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
what i like about destiny's current meta is that you have the really good weapons, that most people use, but you can also use other weapons beside the ones that are most used and still have fun and do most activities
Based off memory, the quest in rise of iron gave you the normal gjallarhorn, not the iron gjallarhorn. You got the iron gjallarhorn from pre-ordering rise of iron.
True words
I feel like iron gjallarhorn could be an ornament as of today
@@00Grimreaper00 yeah
@@00Grimreaper00 I was kinda surprised the dungeon ornament wasn’t it
more a play on words "iron" gjallarhorn for rise of "iron" but yes you are correct
Jeeeeeeeez, I was not expecting the Jeff Steitzer bit - brought a tear to my eye at work!
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.
Love your point on raiding. I'm a Sherpa myself and I have a STRICT rule of "I dont care what you dont have, we'll bring you along with what you *do* have" because that's how I got into raiding. Gotta support people, absolutely.
Thank you for the great music every video! Really sets the atmosphere.
Gallarhorn: The return of the king
Whenever I feel like I’m unlucky, I just remember that I got Ghorn from a legendary engram at the very start of D1. Way back when legendary engrams usually gave blues instead of a legendary
3:21 'Orjin Story' made me laugh so hard!
I like how the catalyst makes it where even if you dont have ghally you can still pull good damage with another rocket launcher. The catalyst is probably meant to make up for the people that don't actually have it so when particle deconstruction is gone you won't be seeing must have ghally constantly in lfg's.
I finally got this legendary rocket launcher last month and i can see why my friends showed so much love for this thing and i say this was cause i started on destiny 1 near the end of its lifespan and i wasn't lucky enough to get this beast back then but getting it now through the g.o.a dungeon i got new found respect for it
3:23 all that exposition and add plug for a title card, nice!
The fact Gally is now not an "entire team needs it" as long as someone has it, everyone gets the Wolfpack Rounds...which is fantastic, cause it means people who can't afford the Anniversary, or just haven't gotten the pack yet...can still enjoy the strengths! With different RL perks, too XD
$24 is so expensive
I was Team Edward and luckily got gjallarhorn early on and knew it was good but didn’t know how good, I can’t even remember how I got it but that I did and I was loved in raids, shame when xur sold it, felt like some exotics should have been things you always hoped for not knowing when or how you’d get them but surprisingly getting one was the best feeling you’d ever feel
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. My buddy got on the next morning with me and saw that and couldn’t believe I had it done already haha. I played till hard mode of the taken king and then quit for several years, just started playing again a few months ago and love where the game is at right now
6:01 was i the only one that was expecting him to hear "MOM GET THE CAMERA!!"
About the not excluding people from raids part. That new perk solves it, it is more beneficial to have one person using it and the rest having really good legendary rocket launchers since they will deal more damage.
I got my Gjallarhorn from the Vault of Glass. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had extremely good luck that day also getting the Mida earlier that day. I then spent hours just upgrading my new weapon to max just to get the wolfpack rounds perk. Hard to believe how much destiny has changed! Exotics used to be so mysterious and rare. My friend at work got the Universal Remote and he went on and on about it. I miss that time and the late night raids just to finally get Vex Mythoclast and finally completed my journey for the best weapons in the game.
My Ghorn story in d1, I got it before Xur even sold it in week 2 tried it when I got it “oh so this is just like the legendary one why would I use this” (remember in d1 you had to upgrade it for the Wolfpack) so I had the god gun basically immediately and didn’t know to use it for ages until the community levelled it and realised how great it was
As someone who never got Galljahorn back in D1 i feel like i was missing out on a lot of fun when everyone else had it. But i just got it tonight from the dungeon and i'm absolutely loving it!
I love how ghorn went from a lfg nightmare to a Sherpa's best friend. A weapon that gives new players who may not have good damage weapons something to help keep up.
I've sherpaed 4 randos through vog with it now and it helped them so much damage wise 3 had never done a raid before.
The sound it makes is the best its ever been❤️
>me shooting gjalla at the boss
>red bar outside of my fov
"allow me to detonate your rocket"
The Horn said t go "toot" when blown and then release 16 flipping little tooters.
As always, Evan dropping some fire content.
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.
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.
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.
Evan, whenever I watch your videos, I either binge them and use them to lull me to a sweet slumber, or I fire up Destiny 2.
Time to work on my Gjallarhorn too lol
Hi Evan, In my humble opinion regarding the power creep issue: Bungie has a tendency to launch new content in an overpowered state to provide players an incentive to try out the new stuff. That content usually ends up getting nerfed as the game continues to evolve and add new overly hot content (think of stasis, and the new sword frames). Right now, given that theres a high chance that next seasons big shot mod is a RL one, theres a chance that Gally will be a little too hot at the end of season 16, but remember what happened with Anarchy after Breach and Clear. Also, I think they mentioned that they wanted to add more difficulty options into their content (at least with a legendary version of the campaign) so I think this might be balanced in future releases standards. That said, keep up the great work, happy hollidays!
Always one of my favorite memories of Destiny 1 is when i got my first exotic. I was like 10 or 11 and new nothing about Destiny and it was the first couple days of house of wolves. I finish prison of elders for the first time and open the exotic chest for the first time and boom! First exotic. The G horn!!!
That opening song before the advisory. Wasn't it the song from the reveal of God of War? That song gives me chills.
love the use of god of war sandtrack
That god of war chanting was a really nice touch!
13:55 which is actually a nerf making it inferior to any legendary with Wolfpack, you lose all impact dmg from ghorn so the best dps actually is just 5 hothead/royal entree 1 ghorn. A nice way to avoid gatekeeping raids though since only 1 person needs it
So its the new divbitch.... Hm... Ghwore :)
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
Gotta say Iove the god of war music in the beginning
Since the "Pack Hunter" Perk makes all other legendary rocket launchers as strong as gjallarhorn (and with the right perks even stronger) I don't mind that it is locked behind a paywall. As long as one of your fireteam members has it (which is the case for these must have GHorn LFG's since this requires the leader to have it) you dont do less damage as a fireteam because someone does not have it.
1:02 insert Mr crab meme where he only says : Money
Love that I made a comment about that one group making warcries when their buddy got Gjallahorn and now I see the same video and some dude mimicking a war cry in the corner
I will never forget how I got my G-Horn in year 1. I got it from a purple heavy engram from a cryptarch package. I thought it was going to be just another blue heavy rocket launcher. And boy was I wrong, I couldn’t believe it.
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
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.
I never got to really experience Ghorn in D1, but I'm actually really happy with the turn that Bungie took for it with giving a group buff if one person has Ghorn. However I'm honestly up in arms with the pay-wall seeing as it was $30 CAD, I bought it so I could have it and experience it in D2
Lmao Jeff Steizer in the beginning. Very nice.
Favorite exotic ever pvp and pve. I never got toenxperiance the rush of getting it in d1 but I cannot take it off. Gjalarhorn infinte ammo is something I never knew I needed. Also so clutch plays in survival. Only I'm left, get heavy, shoot in their general direction, all dead even if they try to escapre. Basically a free kill usually at least a double kill. Hard to use other eoxkets in pvp cups wi I have to aim lol. Also loving cryotheisa
I would always remember how I got the gjallarhorn at the cost of losing friends for like a week. I joined my friends in a destiny 1 nightfall strike but was low light/level so they told me to hide in the back and after they defeated the boss, I got it and they didn't even get any good loot so yay for me but damn, couldn't even imagine their anger fully.
Gjallerhorn was my first exotic which I got from my first legendary engram
The $25 for the 30th anniversary is fine.
1) Other rockets get Gjallahorns perks, and are actually better than Gjallahorn for DPS, so you dont 'need' it.
2) Usually we would be paying for another season right now. Instead, we're avoiding having to level up yet again, and getting new content that I like way more than the normal seasonal content.
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.
Hell yeah a new evanf1997 video letsssssss goooooooo
I loved my dragons breath when you can bounce the shell off the walls
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.
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.
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.
Part 1 "Orgin" story, love it
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
I got gally icebreaker and last word from crucible matches one after the other
Never played D1, you are the sole reason I know any of this haha
"Running VoG, must have Gjally + cat, no Hunters. Need 1 Well-lock, 1360+. Don't be British"
I love the use of the god of war music
Gjallahorn is the most iconic gun in gaming history. Also I love that you used the god of war sound track
That's a bold statement to make.
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
I like how they changed gally so you only really need one for good DPS, because of the extra wolfpack perk
Been waiting on this all night, just knew it was coming
I never experienced the rush of getting Gjallerhorn from Engrams or a Raid in D1. Made up for that in ROI. And I am so happy it's back. Will it be adjusted in a future patch? Most likely, but I'm gonna have fun with it regardless. It's never leaving my inventory.
Gjallarhorn definitely has grenades and horseshoes. It was a secret perk on it in d1 too.
I realised that after i shoot it and a trawll behind me trigered the explosion and killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU someone else that calls randal by his name, my whole fireteam just thought it wasn’t him.
Oh boy I sure do love Yallerhorn
The Gjallarhorn or Kick likely wont be an issue, becasue other legendary Rocket launchers like Acendancy or Royal Entry do more Damage than G-Horn as long as they have wolfpack rounds. it would actually be counterproductive for everyone to use Gjallarhorn
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.
Evan coming in with that God of War music is dope as fuck
As a player that bought gjallarhorn from xur on week 2, I GOT INVITED to soooooo many raids. It was insane. I still remember the good old days😭🥺😍 i hope they dont nerf it in d2. Its just soooo good!
The New wolf pack perk is their homage to the peeps that couldn’t get in raids in the past cuz u didn’t have it. Now only 1 person needs it and everyone gets Wolfpack round :)
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.
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
Gjallarhorn joining Witherhoard and Divinity in the "No particular need for more then one in the fireteam" crew while still being good enough with dupes to not be detrimental if everyone's running it.
I got the gjallarhorn after going 5 and 14 in crucible a few months after I started D1. I got a few weeks after Crotas end released
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. So that exclusivity is mute if u have ascendancy as u can have 5 ascendancy's and one gally and u all get wolfpack, which oddly might make that better than 6 gally's. 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.
I'm so glad the meta is Gjallarhorn, and not some random seasonal exotic that will be nerfed in a month
Dude fantastic videos. Got my first g horn the first ever chrota I did the first week it came out it was so fun I miss d1
Ghorn is absolutely amazing, but I do not think it will be a power creep problem. Its great in general play and lost sector stuff, but in higher end gameplay like GM nightfalls there are better options. arbalest for example is one of the best weapons for GMs but isnt great outside of those activities. Ghorn is great for raids but there are plenty of options that keep up with the damage no problem.
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 👍
Also, the pack hunter perk is another way to balance and make something unique with the gun.
