let's be honest, Gjallarhorns not that great

I agree with OP

I'm stupid and didn't read anything but the title

Now before you strike down your mighty jellyhorn opinions onto me, understand this, gjallarhorn is the last exotic I'm missing on Xbox. I don't personally have it but my friends do so I have had first hand experience(via playing on their accounts). Let's start of with the basics PvP: let's all be honest, you could replace Gjallarhorn with any tracking rocket launcher. Truth has 10x better tracking as well. It's not a bad PvP rocket launcher but Hunger of Crota will do Gjallarhorns job and leave your exotic slot open. PvE: here's where Gjallarhorn shines. Kinda. How many people use Gjallarhorn as their exotic slot for things like: Void/Arc Nightfalls? Killing low level enemies grouped together? Or do you only pull it out for a single high health target? Because that's how 90% of people use it. If you aren't a Titan with ruin wings then I'd almost bet you don't use your Rocket launchers for anything except high health targets. So yes, Gjallarhorn is great at what it does. It's the go to weapon for killing things like the Templar and taking Crotas shield down, but that's about it. It's not game breaking, it's not OP, it's good for the single purpose of damaging high health targets. I really don't understand why people think Xur selling Gjallarhorn would be any different than when he sold icebreaker. TL; DR Gjallarhorn is really good at what it's good at (damaging high health targets) but if you're not in that situation(or a Titan with ruin wings) you're wasting your exotic slot.

  • Hoc is great if you wanted to use a different slot for the exotic but ghorn is definitely better

  • I agree kinda with Ghorn which I have. In no way does Hunger of Crota = baby Ghorn. now hear me out, before roasting, and be open minded. I wont include the facts that one is exotic and other legenday. So here goes. GHorn & Hoc= solar, Ghorn& Hoc = tracking. ghorn& Hoc=2 rockets before reload Hoc= + dmg hive majors/ultras+ cluster bombs Ghorn= wolfpack rounds ( homing cluster) Now in my eyes ghorn is near perfect, in that most instances the wolf pack rounds will hit target a vast majority of time, however target can get lucky and outrun the WPRs. (*cough *crota). now if the WPRs hit also then Ghorn wins as pure dps overall. Now for Hoc. Cluster bomb: which not all the clusters will hit target , usually get a few max. however thanks to Hive disrupter , the HOc does do more damage on the main explosion . (excluding CBs) which a fair amount can miss due to most putting the perk to increase blast radius of overall clusterbomb radius. Overall, I would pick ,Ghorn due to above. thoughts opinions, agreements, etc. not bashing hoc. i want one too just so i can use my IB or Red death/suros.

    • So many of the raid weapons are so good that hey rival the exotics anyway. So to waste the exotic slot on gally isn't such a big deal anymore.

    • I don't think it's a "waste" but it is not a cheat code like the cult says. It does decimate high value targets, but other than that it is no different than another rocket launcher. Waste is too strong though. I hold it on my hunter and it works well anyway.

    • I agree with you to an extent. I've had Gjallarhorn almost since launch and have a few points to make. PvP: Hunger of Crota will absolutely not do Gjallarhorns job in PvP because Gjallarhorn has proximity detonation(hidden perk) and Hunger doesn't. But I agree with your other points. Truth is much better in PvP and Gjallarhorn is not good enough to use instead of Thorn, Vex, Suros, PI... etc... I never use Gjallarhorn in PvP. PvE: If you're using Gjallarhorn in a Void/Arc nightfall you just aren't very smart to begin with (generally speaking). In all other aspects, Solar nightfalls, bounties, all raids, and anything else really, is where Gjallarhorn shines. Sure, there are places here and there where other exotics are better situationally, but in most cases, it doesn't get better than Gjallarhorn.. For example: VoG: Confluxes- clear mobs, Templar- Quick kill, Oracles- one shot kill as a backup plan if you get in trouble, Gorgons- free grimoire :), Gatekeeper- best and quickest way to solo one side, Atheon- second best way to kill atheon (all black hammers are ideal) Crota: Lamps- Icebreaker is better, except at the end at the bridge. Bridge- Gjallarhorn: drops swordbearer quickly. Shreiker room: 1 shots them. Deathsinger: Obviously the best weapon to use. Crota: Best weapon to bring down Crota, and as a sword carrier to bring down the swordbearer. Pretty much the whole VoG is easier/more efficiently beat if you have Gjallarhorn. Remember, Gjallarhorn was so popular when VoG was the only raid and people would sometimes only allow people in that had it. It was a game breaking weapon in VoG and still is today. In Crota's End it is definitely the best weapon to use as well. The gun is, like it or not, the best PvE gun in the game. There's no arguing. And if there is one gun that most people can consider the best gun in the game I think that can be considered game-breaking. Don't you?

    • Truth can be replaced by gally in crucible, but any legendary rocket with tracking doesn't have proximity like gally does. It isn't a perk on the rocket, but it's definitely there. I've gotten 50 kills with gally in a combined arms game. I can't do that with hunger of Crota. Now hurry up and get the damn Gjallarhorn!

    • Agreed its an awesome single target weapon. However I find HoC better for general use.

    • If everyone on your fireteam had a jelly EVERYTHING would be easier, strikes, nightfalls raiding. All boss fights instantly become easier. Most rocket launchers are used solely for that purpose anyway. Grenades deal with groups of adds. Boss mean the most in this game, therefore the jelly deserves it's hype.

    • I used it this week on the Nightfall for all 3 characters even though there was no burn. It's still awesome for clearing mobs of low level enemies, doing DPS to bosses, and everything in between. If Arc burn is on, I will use my Fatebringer or Fang to drop shields then use Ghorn to quickly finish off majors. I'd rather burn 2 or 3 Heavy Synths to make the Nightfall a 15 minute strike rather than a 30 minute strike. But that's just how I personally like to play.

      • Gally is the definitive weapon in any guardian's arsenal and those who have it know of it's true potential I agree with the pvp side that it's good but not godly compared to other alternatives, i usually don't use an exotic heavy when playing crucible but thats my preference. When it comes to pve, the gally is on a whole other level just to give you an example, me and my friends took down omnigul in less than 2 minutes by just using the gally and there was no burn this week either so saying it's useful only when I gthere is a burn active is redundant. People who have done the raids and have been lucky enough to score all the primaries will have one of each burn so having a primary as an exotic becomes useless oh and there are only a few exotic primaries with elemental damage so that part of your argument becomes void too. When you'll have ur gjallarhorn you will know of it's sheer destructive power and you will look back at your post and shake your head with embarrassment.

        • I got through 700 or so hours just using Truth and Thunderlord Gjallerhorn is a great weapon but there seems to be this hype that it's the be all end all. Maybe with Solar burn yeah but with Void burn and Truth you can still end fights pretty quick IMO some form of Wolfpack rounds would benefit Truth and give it the edge, which would make more sense as its a futuristic type of weapon, at least the design and targeting reticule is

        • Disagree, As an objective view of what makes a weapon god-tier or gamebreaking, like the horn, looking at situations that don't pose any challenge doesn't make sense. If you say horn is nothing special at low health Trash mobs, so what? No need for any op weapon for situations that are not challenging anyway. Literally a khvostov could do the job. The challenging situations in game is where the horn shines like no other weapon. There are so many situations where the Horn is just the way to go. From a pve perspective, I can only Imagine the black hammer of being as gamebreaking as the Horn, but that's only for certain bosses (or if you are Chuck Norris and headshot everything). In those (pve) situations where the weapon loadout becomes relevant, 90% of the time the Horn will be the best choice

          I got my first one last week, but I'm having a hard time deciding if it's actually worth using over icebreaker. I understand that gally has a high damage output, but regenerating ammo as well as sweet damage is my go to. Things I consider: 1. Sniping atheon is more effective. The guy doesn't move as long as no one fires rockets or throws a grenade. Without weapons of light a max icebreaker fires like 14k damage crits and just shy of 20k with the buff. You also have the added benefit of not accidentally blowing yourself up. 2. With crota, either hard or normal, as long as everyone has tracking rockets you're going to take him down just fine. You definitely don't need a gally to succeed. Plus not using it opens up your exotic spot for a weapon that gives health if you don't have orb gear or....icebreaker lol. So yes I agree with OP.

          • Burst damager extraordinaire. Thats what it is. Nothing else comes close. Putting out as much dps in as short a time as possible. Its a mob clearer and boss burner. It wouldn't break the game if everyone had one but it'd make boss fights cake. O.P truth doesnt have better tracking both are equal. They're both better than every other tracking launcher (aggressive tracking vs tracking). People saying icebreaker is better use of an exotic surely realise b.h and e spear hit harder than that and can both be refilled using icebreaker? You dont run around with an empty ghorn you put it on when needed. Either picking up ammo or using a synth. A shoot to loot gun helps alleviate the need for icebreaker too

            • Don't have one myself but have see it in action and it is impressive. That being said, I struggle to imagine giving up my exotic slot for a heavy weapon. Exception obviously being bosses or other extreme circumstances. Perhaps I'm wrong but I doubt I would have it equipped that often

            • I've been playing since the beta used all kinds of rockets pretty much all of them, for the first time in this weeks nightfall I finally got the best rocket in the game and I have to say by far the gjallarhorn is absolute best for anything on pve. Wolf pack in the house

            • A titan with ruin wings basically makes the Ghorn a facemelter. You have so much rockets that everything just dissapears infront of you. No other Rocket launcher does the job as well as Ghorn. Sorry but just no! It's not situational, it's amazing for just about anything. Even using it without ruin wings, it's still worth the exotic slot any time of the day.

            • You know, Planet Destiny had their 5th Destiny podcast recently, and they brought in a guest. He was from the Icelandic region, and said that the proper pronounciation is "Gat-lar-horn", which is weird. The podcast is on Planet Destiny's channel, featured video.
