Why Xur will sell Gjallarhorn, undoubtedly.

So this is my first post on these forums, and after trawling through a number of Gjallarhorn pride posts, and xurn vs earn posts I have come to a conclusion just by thinking a wee bit. Xur HAS to sell Gjallarhorn. Not because the community wants it, not because it's OP, none of that. Because its a [i]rocket launcher[/i]. If Bungie were to remove the horn from xur's loot table, it would mean that they are admitting that it is a game breaking weapon and that they have failed in their balancing (which they haven't, really). Gjallarhorn is just another exotic launcher like truth and dragon's breath, and thus Bungie must treat it like that. Also, Xur is RNG and at some stage will sell every exotic bar raid exotics and bounties. He has already sold Gjallarhorn. He will sell Gjallarhorn again. This is just my view and I don't mind criticism, was just putting it out there, speaking my mind. Unity

    Dude your logic doesnt mean anything. Bungie will do whatever the F it wants and has no prior commitments to anything. All they have to do to change or put out what xur is to sell is press a few buttons. All this xur loot table talk is also nonsense considering how many times its been proven wrong. Realistically Xur won't sell Gjallahorn for just the simple reason to make it so people have something to play for, something to go nuts about when they get it as a drop. Not by hoping xur comes around with it. When he sold it the first time consider it almost impossible to get when the game was out for 2 weeks and no weekly strikes gave out as many coins as they do now. Bungie/Xur doesn't owe us anything. We should be happy when he sells weapons like ice breaker and Suros becaue realistically the guy could have been selling no land beyond and Dragons breath since the game came out and no one would complain. Play the game as its meant to be played and hopefully you'll get it as a drop.

      Eh. Who knows..yeah its a rocket launcher.......but a rocket launcher that does twice the damage of others......its not game breaking in any way. Bungie has told us about rng....dosent mean that its true by a long shot. I dont think he will sell it again....but hope he does just so i dont have to go through dozens of pointless ghorn threads everyday. I mean really you came up with that title......and all you say basically is that xur will sell it because it exists?.....not really a reason why..

      Idea: 1. Xür sells Gjally for one weekend only. 2. Gjally can only be bought with special strange coins called G Coins. 3. G Coins can only be obtained the weekend Gjally is being sold. 4. Weekly Heroics will not award G Coins and will only award strange coins, same applies to Nightfall. 5. Players must "grind" to find enough decoherant engrams that contain G Coins. (Decoherants will not give a chance at a strange coin, and instead a G Coin, this applies only for the intended weekend.) This will eliminate players with excess amounts of Strange Coins and will only allow the players that can "grind" hard enough to find enough G Coins. (Only in decoherants) If the players can find the 17 or however many coins seem fit, they may buy Gjally from Xür. Those who can't hit the grind, or basically are "undeserving", will not get Gjally.

      • You go through the rounds pretty quickly anyway. And it's not guaranteed that enemies will drop heavy ammo. It's by no means broken. It's just a really good rocket launcher.

      • I want him to sell it!! And then I will jump on the forum's and watch them flood with the tears of the stupid... And the arguments over "I earned mine sure git gud" would be endless entertainment and then the nerf of all nerfs would rain down upon the gally and render it's fame and fortune useless!!! Just like the nerf did to Vex!!

        I don't want the horn to be nerfed. That's why Xur shouldn't sell it. If everyone had it, bosses would be too easy, and the crucible would be ridiculous. Wolf packs are a game changer.

        • If Bungie thought Gjallarhorn was so OP they would have nerfed it long ago. It's just another weapon people, it'll be sold again eventually.

          • The "Bungie removed it from Xur loot table" is bullshit. Said the same about ice breaker and it was sold 2 more times after that. I don't really even want a ghorn. What i really want is a MIDA or Sorus

                He won't sell it anymore. Ever. You had your chance on week 2 and you lost it. Too bad, so sad. [spoiler]It's not that I don't want people to have it. Bungie removed it from the table for a reason.[/spoiler]

                • I don't understand why so many people think a boss-slaying weapon (or as you call, "game breaking") a bad thing if it's only "broken" in a PvE environment (if you need ghorn to get rocket kills in PvP... Just stop playing now and move onto Forza or 2K). Does no one remember gaming before online multiplayer? Anyone? Because before online multiplayer many of the best selling games had weapons to be acquired that would dominate the A.I. 007 Goldeneye: Golden Gun (also had a "broken" character- Odd Job because he was so short of you weren't looking down you'd only maybe see a glimpse of the brim of his Pokemon: ever heard of a legendary? If you were to go back in time and see yourself playing Pokemon would you yell at yourself for using any of the starters or legendaries? Weren't they broken compared to the metapods of the world? Zelda OT: so I'm guessing the master sword was OP too? I know for a fact you'd probably think the boomerang was OP, and who wouldn't? It wrecked enemies AND had unlimited ammo AND might hit an enemy twice in one throw AND hitting an enemy didn't knock it to the ground! Talk about "game breaking." Mario Cart: dem bananas were da worst dohhhh. I mean whoever took the lead first was likely gonna keep it because they had first dibs on the power ups and items. Why do they get the bonuses when they're already in first?! Not fair! Game breaking! The gaming community's modern conception of equality and balance is what is broken, not the ghorn. And no, Xur will not be selling it until maybe Comet DLC, but you can keep hoping he will!

                    • I think he should sell it again, it's a great rocket launcher but not a game breaker.I only pull my Ghorn out of the vault for crota, I prefer exotic primary or secondary weapons as they are used to a greater extent. Initially people said Red Death broke PvP, but the thing is that everyone had the opportunity to purchase it. If everyone had it then the playing field would have been level. Currently only a small percentage of total players do the raid, is Ghorn the roadblock? If it is when looking for group then it should definitely be sold just to end the exclusion. I understand that the Ghorn is a trophy for some, I guess they will just have to get over it.

                        Someone did the math at some point to figure out wether or not xur was fully rng and they came to the conclusion of xur having a like .7% chance of truly being rng

                        • Xur will never sell G-Horn because Bungie won't put it into his inventory when they set it each week. If he sold it it would break the game completely in every single way. The game is already broken horrendously so they will not allow anymore damage to be done

                          • I am not sure if ghorn will ever be permitted in xurz inventory (which is directly controlled by bungie), though I am sure gally is on the loot table for certain players but not everyone. No amount of chances will ever allow it drop for the latter group. xur is the only chance those people will ever have.

                          • He'll sell it a week before HoW to get people back into the game to prepare for the expansion. Then after HoW drops, all the weapons are 365 as opposed to 331 he will never sell the upgrade until a couple months later. So people will use new weapons

                            • Remember when all the Elitists said there would be no way Xur would ever sell Icebreaker again ever? Then he proceeded to sell it not once, but twice within the same month? I imagine Ghorn will go the same way. Just because Xur sells a weapon, doesn't mean the one you own is magically garbage now. Besides raids will become much easier if more people have Ghorn. (Granted for normal Crota it only takes 2 rockets from a 32 to down Crota), BUT players can alternate fire so incase someone runs out they don't have to instantly pop synths.

                              • I hope he sells Gally just so the incessant posts about it being sold/inaccessible/OP/"earned"/necessary (or unnecessary) for raids cease (after the forum implodes on itself like a dying star). I feel like I can't go 5 minutes on the forum without seeing multiple posts about Gjallarjorn... The worst part is, they all just say the same thing over and over and over and over again... I have it, and I use it about 10% of the time that I play. It's a great tool for certain situations, but not the end all be all of the game. [i]Just play[/i], have fun with your friends and enjoy the grind.
