It was the original Hammer of Sol. A sub-orbital laser. The Deuce of Zeus. With this glorious engine of destruction upon your shoulder, [u]all[/u] were smitten.
Not only was it's blast as mighty as Hulks Camaro, it sent forth [i]tracking freaking cluster bombs[/i]. Elemental shields fell like tattered leaves, followed immediately by a furious barrage of atomic death. Oh the stories of horror that must be told to the frightened children of alien foes throughout the galaxies....
Tales of the lone Guardian that felled Crota, Skolas, the Archon Priest, and countless others, even those thought to be unbreakable.
Yeah, it was pretty good.
[spoiler]Thanks BringMeTHYBooty for the idea to do this for all gear.[/spoiler]
Hater edit: there are actually Y2 newbs who never experienced the true Gjallarhorn, and maybe received it from a legacy engram or whatnot. This post is for them, and those who fondly remember it, and perhaps wish to share their favorite memories. If you wanna hate on Gjallarhorn, make your own post.
Love edit: thanks for the awesome replies, Guardians. Sorry if you shed tears, but take it out and use it! You'll feel a little better :')

5 RepliesI sadly only got it like a week before The Taken King dropped. I regret not being able to use it properly against Crota and Atheon.

4 RepliesThere was a time, my friends, when i scoffed at the very notion of the Gajiggahorn. Yes, it is true! I once cared little for this noble device of devastation, so often was its name thrown about the forums. But then i got one from a Nightfall. I thought "fine, i'll try it. What is there to lose?" Well, let me tell you, my friends, even those first few shots were a joy to witness, but then i got it fully upgraded. Oh, the mighty foes we felled! Vallus Ta'Whatsisname died in a pillar of fire, the Archon Priest crumpled like paper set aflame. I was reborn, friends, into a new life - a life with Gajiggahorn by my side.

1 Reply'Twas back in the days of vog, opening the chest. And there it was, the most godly weapon to ever grace my inventory. "Who would use an exotic heavy" exclaimed inexperienced me. Then to the times of crota, watching the swordbearer disintegrating crota and the exotic rocket launcher was yet again on the side of my screen. "Suppose il level it up then" said an annoyed me. The gracefulness of the first shot. Melting valus and archon priest, rubbing salt into my friend who didn't have one. Then to the days of house of wolves 3 Gjallarhorns melting skolas reaping the rewards. Then came the news of The Taken King. The news of the nerf. However I didn't care, I would just buy a year 2 one, from the kiosk, right? The Taken King arrived, and I traded in my bounties with my focused light and my exotic Nightstalkers cloak and sprinted towards the kiosk as a brand new level 40. I opened the menu. I searched 8 times looking for the majestic rocket, only to find a 160 attack one. I was disappointed but I was able to keep using Gjallarhorn for the story. I killed the first echo with my nerfed Gjallarhorn and it dropped a legendary helmet engram. But that's a story for another time

4 RepliesGjallarhorn was shit compared to Randal.

A Gjallarhorn dropped for me in Y1 as a nightfall reward. My friend only for a legendary engram as the nightfall reward, he then got a Gjallarhorn out of that engram. We were pretty happy.

1 ReplyI never liked the influence that thing had on the game. Sure I liked using it when I got it because it was broken as all -blam!-, didn't like it at the same time since people were -blam!-s about it.

1 ReplyAhhh... Gjallarhorn. My very first exotic. It was right after HoW dropped and i had finally found time to shoot my way through all the missions. finish the last mission, grab the free Treasure key and off i went, my first ever Prison of Elders. I dont remember much after that, but i DO remember the two randoms in that PoE were [u]NOT[/u] happy when i hopped on the mic and quietly said "Gjallarhorn". good times... the two things evading me now are the Universal Remote and Red Death. (and when i eventually get those, i'll find something else to complain about :D)

It'll come back one day, scaled down, but it'll be back. I loved that rocket launcher. I was lucky enough to have it drop in the first month of year 1. I didn't use it too much because I loved hard light so much, as well as invective... but it was magical to bust it out and wreck house.

All you needed was one Ghally to put Scrota on his knees. Good times.

IS THE BEST WEAPON! I remember getting my first Gjallarhorn! I had just met up with some new friends that day so we ended up going in crucible, I wasn't wild about that but went anyway. I was giving up on getting Gjallarhorn with Rahool constantly refusing to give up that weapon and so I just settled back trying to forget it, we played a game or two games and I'm not doing my best as I was having an off day but I still continued to try my best.... We continue to play that match and someone mentioned I got Gjallarhorn, I was like yeah right! Because I was messing with people saying watch me get Gjallarhorn so the game ended and I saw it! GJALLARHORN! I screamed like a little girl! :D It took me two days to level up! BTW, I still have all 5 original Gjallarhorns that dropped for me! They're still there, waiting for that day I can upgrade them to the correct level needed to destroy once again! [spoiler]Gjallarhorn shall RETURN! it's not a matter of if, but when![/spoiler]
