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!

He has already sold the Gjallarhorn

2 OdpowiedziJust like xur wouldn't sell the IB again? Of course he will sell it, it's just a matter of time. Black hammer destroys certain bosses quicker then a gjallahorn would.

Preset loot table. Tired of these posts

Xur already sold it before! Week 2!

Edytowany przez użytkownika somuchnotes: 1/18/2015 3:59:31 PMNah they won't sell it again. 4 months ago he sold it and now, the gun is literally a top 3 exotic in the game. They wouldn't dare.

Um... He will. No restriction in what xur sells. Meaning one day he will, unless your the guy that decides on his sales. Then we would not have it, other than that he will... One day.

I don't even need to read this to say this post is bullsh*t

Edytowany przez użytkownika Cube Coded: 1/18/2015 3:20:23 PM[b]Why Xür Will Sell Gjallerhorn [/b] If you can get it from some garbage rngesus drop than anyone else could get it from actually doing the weekly (witch could be a problem for some people) and saving up their strange coins. The people who do have a difficult time with the weekly, are the ones who could really use a gjallerhorn. And I'm no hopeful, but I myself thought that he would never sell icebreaker.

2 OdpowiedziSo you have it so nobody else should? Not going to keep me from trying. I am -blam!-ing done grinding. You got lucky early with those shit characters. You don't understand how RNG works. Xur is here for a reason, He has to sell it.

7 OdpowiedziEdytowany przez użytkownika iBeRash: 1/18/2015 2:47:05 PMXur has already sold Gjallarhorn. Week 2 after release. He will sell it again. His inventory selection is random. Hard Light will eventually be sold, as will every other exotic in the game, at one point or another.

You've gotta have heavy ammo to use heavy ammo, I can't see much of an issue with him selling it as I only use heavy ammo synths in raids or a boss I just don't like which is mainly only valus And I don't think anyone else will be stupid enough to constantly put on an ammo synth in every single strike
-
To tell everyone the -blam!-ing truth. Lol. If xurs inventory is random then the gjallarhorn has a reduced drop rate than anything. Personally I think they purposely pick the weapons so he won't sell it
-
3 OdpowiedziActually Xur just selled IceBreaker The most powerful sniper in de game In fact if he sell it , he probably going to sell Mallahorn
-
2 OdpowiedziPeople have been saying that he wouldn't be selling icebreaker or gjallarhorn ever again. Well that was proven wrong last Friday, so I'd say its entirely possible that he'll sell gjallarhorn again.
-
17 OdpowiedziHe's going to sell it again. Why don't people understand this? I have 5 and I want everyone on my strike/raid/nightfall to have one.

Exactly

His inventory is random.
