Gjallarhorn is a Horrible Weapon

(Note: This is an honest comparison between the underpowered Gally and the respectable Norfleet.) Time to lay out the facts: [u]The Gjallarhorn is significantly worse than any Rocket Launcher I have ever seen in any game.[/u] Not only is the damage laughable, the pitiful amount of "wolf pack" rounds it fires reminds me of a marshmallow gun. In order to make the most sense possible out of this post, I will compare it to one of the best Rocket Launchers I have ever seen: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgfCd48LP1M]The Norfleet.[/url] from Borderlands 2. Let's make out the comparisons: Norfleet: [b]Deals massive damage in an extremely large radius.[/b] [b]Carries significantly more ammo than the Gjallarhorn.[/b] [b]Can instantly kill user if incompetent.[/b] [b]Can be used in association with Slag, an elemental variant, instantly killing bosses.[/b] [b]Fires several projectiles at once, each possessing amazing damage potential.[/b] [b]Deals extremely large amounts of DoT, in several different elements.[/b] [b]Ammo is plentiful and can be regened nearly instantly with the right equipment.[/b] [b]Blast can be nullified if wearing certain equipment.[/b] [u][b]HAS A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF DROPPING FROM SPECIFIC ENEMIES RATHER THAN RELYING SOLELY ON RNG[/b][/u] Gjallarhorn: [b]Deals low damage to bosses unless paired with several others.[/b] [b]Has homing projectiles that split after intial impact.[/b] [b]Homing rounds do minimal damage.[/b] [b]Can instantly kill user in many scenarios.[/b] [b]Relies on Burns to do extra damage.[/b] [b]Ammo is rare, and often only found from dead enemies. Worthless on bosses.[/b] [b]ONLY COMES IN ONE ELEMENTAL VARIANT.[/b] Based on the previous findings, including a list of pros and cons for each, I have found that the Gjallarhorn is significantly worse than the Norfleet. You cannot argue with this.

  • Ok, but the Norfleet is infinitely inferior to the Archimedes II from Fallout: New Vegas. Lets review the facts: Norfleet: Deals massive damage in an extremely large radius. Carries significantly more ammo than the Gjallarhorn. Can instantly kill user if incompetent. Can be used in association with Slag, an elemental variant, instantly killing bosses. Fires several projectiles at once, each possessing amazing damage potential. Deals extremely large amounts of DoT over time, in several different elements. Ammo is plentiful and can be regened nearly instantly with the right equipment. Blast can be nullified if wearing certain equipment. HAS A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF DROPPING FROM SPECIFIC ENEMIES RATHER THAN RELYING SOLELY ON RNG Archimedes: Orbital satellite mounted laser cannon Is fired from a 1950s toy raygun Kills anything in the game as long as they are outside Finite amount of ammo Its from a different game Why are you comparing them? What the -blam!- is even this topic?
