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.

  • You can't compare Borderlands and Destiny directly or Borderlands will always be above it. I'm hitting 100K on Golgoroth while he's tethered, I have weapons of light, and get a crit while in the pool of reclaimed light. 100K is a huge number on Destiny for damage. In Borderlands, I can hold 2 guns at once, one that makes them take extra damage and heals me, one that shoots like 12 explosive bullets out per shot, I get like 25% health back on the damage I do, I regenerate ammo, and can solo every activity in the game, and hitting millions in damage is a normal sight. The difference is that Borderlands got old ALOT faster than Destiny, just because after you get the setup you want, nothing was a challenge after that. I loved it to death, but the 2nd one was just broken once you hit the OP levels.
