So I see a lot of people posting now with renewed hope that Xur will sell Gjallarhorn, and i myself don't believe it will happen. I found mine on Wednesday, and finally upgraded Wolfpack rounds on it today through bounties. Right off the bat, I am astounded at how powerful it is against just about any situation. That being said, if Xur sells it, it will render all boss fights obsolete, since the moment everyone begins it they will try to take him out as quickly as possible. I don't think this is something people understand, but selling Icebreaker is not something that affects the gameplay as much as selling Ghallarhorn. What do you think?
Edit: There must be some confusion about the point I am attempting to make on this thread. Yes, many threads said the same about IB prior to Xur this weekend, but my point is there is no 14 second video on YouTube of a 6 man fireteam taking down Atheon on Hard mode using only IB as there is with Gjallarhorn. If Xur sells the gun, then expect situations like that to appear more frequently, and don't be surprised when you do ROC strikes and your two random match teammates unload Gjallarhorn on the bosses. That lowers the quality of the game, and is the reason I don't think they will sell it. Thank you for the replies, but please, be respectful to one another as you interact.
Edit #2: I would like to address a couple more arguments that have been reoccurring. Yes, I am aware Xur has sold Gjallarhorn before, but I do not consider that to be an implication that it will be sold again. If we follow that logic, then is it fair to assume that Hardlight will never be sold? Selling it the second week the game is out (when the game is still in its infant stage) is not a very convincing argument considering the limited knowledge there was about the gun. Look at the forums and you are bound to find someone who regrets passing up on the Gjallarhorn when it was sold. Just because it has been sold before, I do think that implies that it will be sold again. On the other hand, someone brought up the point that Crota is not defeated through conventional damage, but through the the sword. I agree that the more diversity they have for killing bosses, the more limited the gjallarhorns role becomes. If they can add more unique ways to kill bosses, I can be convinced that they will sell Gjallarhorn. However at this current state, the game is not ready for it to be sold based on those standards. Thanks to everyone for keeping it respectful and kind, I appreciate the interest!
Edit 3: there is one last argument (it's really an accusation) that has reoccurred that I want to address. Yes, I admit on Wednesday this week I had my first Gjallarhorn drop, however that does not mean I don't want anyone else to have one, or that I am an elitist. My grimoire score says I have a whopping 72 kills with my gjallarhorn, that is because I use it only when the scenario calls for it. I do not mind people getting Gjallarhorn, I hope you all get it one way or another. I also think we need to step back and just look at what this game would look like if every single person got it through Xur. If, by some chance it is sold (I sincerely believe it will never be sold) I will not come on these forums whining about it since in the grand scheme it is such a small thing. This is only meant to be my rational reasoning for why I don't think Xur will sell it. In no way am I "paranoid" or and "elitist" of anything of that kind. Thank you again for your responses.
Edit 4: DeeJ just released the news that almost 1,500,000 people bought the IB this last week. That was the second most coveted in the game. I He even said they have added new events for the gun (or at least implied it). I can only speculate how many would buy gjallarhorn, but I expect it to be significantly higher than that. Is that a gamble Bungie would make? This is the icing on the cake for me, I don't think they will sell Gjallarhorn. Xur comes tomorrow, we will see then and every Friday after that. Happy hunting guardians!

2 通の返信The fact is that it is an indispensable weapon every player should be able to obtain, maybe even more so than even the icebreaker and black hammer because there is really no alternative that even comes close.

5 通の返信Stopped reading when you wrote "make game obsolete" - but it's obviously not obsolete for you even though you got it. That is elitist and there is no arguing your way out of it. You do fine with it, but nobody else can be trusted. You know, the game doesn't grant that gun to those who are worthy, it's random. And obviously you are either too arrogant or too stupid to realize that.

Its all speculation. It may have a very low probability or multiplier to show up in xurs inventory, but seeing as how he has sold it before... we know that it is in his loot table. I havent seen any release from bungie saying they removed it... so im pretty sure eventually it will show up at xur at some point

My only gripe with this post, and really all these posts, is that you always say "why xur won't sell Gjallarhorn." Why you [b][i]think[/i][/b] xur won't sell Gjallarhorn is the title you should be using. You don't know. You can't know. You'll be wrong, and I'll bump this just to laugh at you.

The only exotics Xur will NOT eventually sell are the raid exclusives, I.e. Vex and Crux, along with whatever the new raids will have. Other than those Xur will eventually sell EVERY exotic. It's the Destiny way of rewarding dedicated players who don't get everything from rng.

Guns don't make the player. Case in point, I had a HM VOG Templar save with two buds last night. One invites three others who say they have VOG experience but not with hard. I look at their unleveled gear with skepticism and they say, "Don't worry, we have Ice Breakers." So we basically three manned it and got them to the gatekeeper where we wiped for an hour before I decided I wasted enough ammo synth. One of them got Fatebringer at the Templar and said, "What's Fatebringer?" I knew I had been had at that point. Same save point last week: experienced group cleared from there to the end 3x in two hours. We had 2 Ice Breakers. Just because they own a nice weapon doesn't mean they will know how to use it.

So uh, how many videos were shown of a "14 second video on YouTube of a 6 man fireteam taking down Atheon on Hard mode" using Hardlight or Thunderlord. Why hasn't he sold those? Oh, right... same reason Gjallarhorn hasn't been sold again. RNG. Any more questions folks?

I am inclined to believe that bungie won't sell it until it becomes less effective - like after a nerf, or perhaps if comet comes out and old exotics are left behind and cannot be upgraded any further. Anyways, we can hope! :)

This is my fear. If they sell it, they have to rebalance the game around it, to account for its damage. Bullet sponge bosses have their health increased, as do ultras. This makes every other heavy weapon useless, so every other heavy weapon now gets a buff. Crucible is over run with heavy machine guns. Now heavy weapons dominate the crucible and pve, which in turns requires that the game be rebalanced, with increases to PvP health, special and primary weapon damage. Or they could just nerf it.
