Gjallarhorn
Before getting into anything else, we must start with the weapon that many players considered to be an absolute must-have. So much so that Bungie had to take a second look at it in order to combat exclusionary practices by a large portion of the player base. It goes by many names within the community from Ballerhorn, to Jake Gyllenhorn, to Plan G. But we all know the Gjallarhorn to be one of the very best weapons in the entire game, especially during the first two years of Destiny’s life.
Thanks to its tight tracking capability and Wolfpack rounds, the Gjallarhorn was a favorite for end game activities. Many fireteams required players to have it in order to take down the boss (though it wasn’t 100% necessary), and it made light work of some of the most badass foes to grace your screen. It also happened to be one of the best-looking weapons in all of Destiny, letting it truly look and play the part of an exotic.
For some of us, this weapon joined the adventure from the very beginning (Xur sold it in week two, and some got it to drop in the raid and Nightfall). Others waited until it was given to everyone by way of a quest, but it still became a regular in our weapon rotation. As we flee the Tower and vow to get our revenge on Ghaul, we will forever think of you dear ol’ Gally, and hope that our future weapons can be as cool as you.
