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!

I want it, but I also hope he doesn't sell it. I really wanted ice breaker so I'm a happy camper for that. She will drop for me eventually.

Like I haven't seen this post before

Wow that's a huge wall of text there as to why you think Xûr won't sell Jellyhorn again. But the simple fact is he will. Until Bungie state that Jellyhorn has been removed from Xûrs list, your wall of text remains pointless.
-
You are a spoiled brat. He will sell it now simply to spite you.

Gjallarhorn is to mainstream 😅

In the end, only WE the players determine how a weapon is used honestly. If everyone gets Ghorn, yes there will be a complete imbalance at first. However as time wears on, people will remember how much they liked challenge and will continue to play the game in a more challenging way. There may be people who do speed runs of the rajds, and to be honest, it would be freaking amazing to watch! However, like with all speed runs, there will be people who do them with limitations. (I.E. fastest completion using only primary weapons, fastest completion using any weapin, etc.) That being said, I will spam rockets to oblivion when I first get Ghorn, but I'll probably settle down after a while. Lol

He will sell it again!!!

IB breaks a lot of the game. Why risk dying when I can kill infinity from my perch? And it hits like a truck, 3 IB's on Sepiks means he doesn't make it to his first drop ship. Saying that Bungie made a gun that breaks their own game if people have it is not only dumb shit that people keep repeating like retarded parrots, it's an insult to Bungie, AND everyone who has worked harder than you to get it but haven't. "Gjallarhorn iz 2 OP Guyz" posts are nothing but troll jizz.
-
He will sell it again I don't know why some many people are in denial about this. I think this week Suros or Red Death are most likely to go on sale with the Crota Hard mode released. It might of been coincidence they sold Ice Breaker last week (its very helpful in the raid) but I doubt it.
-
You make it sound as if when/if Xur sells it that it will magically appear in the post master for everybody who signs into Destiny.

4 OdpowiedziI want Red Death to release. [spoiler]Let us see how butthurt people get.[/spoiler]

These Xur GHORN posts are getting out of hand. Please bump if you agree. Who the -blam!- cares.

Its OP yes but so is the IB. The gally may make all bosses look like cake walks but the IB makes everything leading up to the boss cake walks, in which xur sold. There was even an 'article' by a 'bungie rep' stating IB would never be sold again and here we are. I personally want him to sell it but for like 50 coins.

2 OdpowiedziOh boy.....just because you found one and thought it was OP doesn't mean our isn't going to sell it.....

1 OdpowiedźLiking this post so I can comment a wall of "lololol" when he sells it.

2 Odpowiedzigood luck beating hard mode without it. they will sell it, trust me

1 OdpowiedźApart from the exotics you acquire from bounties and thunderlord which has no bounty nor been sold by xur. He's sold all the others once twice or three times. He's sold Gjallahorn, multi-tool, no land beyond and Dragons breath once and before last weekend icebreaker also now he's sold that twice when everybody said he'll never sell icebreaker and gjallahorn again cause they're game changing weapons yet he's just sold ice breaker and now he's sold icebreaker again people are saying I'm sure bungie knew how powerful this launcher was when they made the game so if gjallahorn would "break" the game if every one owned it then wouldn't bungie have been taking a gamble with xur selling it, what if everyone had bought it that second week then bungie ran the risk of ruining the game before it started and no I don't have a gjallahorn so yeah I want him to sell it

It's part of his loot table. He will sell it again! The end. Good day:)
