Bungie has had a lengthy history in the games industry, producting some major franchises from Marathon to Myth, partnering with Microsoft for Halo, to the current era with the Destiny franchise. With 30 years now under its belt, the company is celebrating its legacy and has more than a few presents for fans of Bungie's current game, Destiny 2.
As part of its 30th Anniversary Celebration, Bungie released new content into Destiny 2, both as part of a free update and a special paid DLC pack. While the content features a new dungeon called the Grasp of Avarice and a free 6 person activity centered around Xur and his treasure, fans have also been excited to check out all of the new weapons and gear that come with this update. Bungie has not only confirmed returning favorites like the Matador 64, but has special Halo-inspired weapons including an exotic Sidearm.
However, the most high profile weapon included in Bungie's 30th Anniversary Pack is the exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn. A massive fan favorite weapon from the original Destiny, here's how current Destiny 2 players can get thier hands on it.
How to get the Gjallarhorn
First things first, the only way to gain access to the Gjallarhorn at the present is to own the 30th Anniversary Pack. This will set players back $24.99 but give them access to the Grasp of Avarice dungeon, Thorn Armor Set, returning legendary weapons like Eyasluna, Bungie Streetwear armor, and more.
With the DLC pack purchased, players will need to head to the Cosmodrome from the Destiny 2 director and speak to Shaw Han. He'll pass along the "And Out Fly the Wolves" exotic quest, which begins by tasking players to complete the Grasp of Avarice dungeon to find a Wolfpack Round.
After returning to Han, players will need to defeat powerful Fallen inside the Cosmodrome to continue the quest and collect more Wolfpack Rounds. With enough collected, players will need to see Shaw Han and the Banshee-44 at the Tower. Before the weapon is awarded, Banshee will send players to the lost sector known as Exodus Garden 2A to find the last component needed to reconstruct the rocket launched.
Once the lost sector has been completed, players should head back to Shaw Han's camp at the Cosmodrome and use a tool chest in his hideout to finish reconstruction. Finally, speak to Shaw Han to finish this exotic quest.
What Does the Gjallarhorn Do?
With a near max blast radius, Gjallarhorn is bringing destruction with it to Destiny 2. Wolfpack Rounds are once again its intrinsic perk, which splits the rounds fired from the rocket launcher into tracking cluster missiles upon detonation.
However, the big difference between Gjallarhorn's Destiny 1 counterpart is the legendary trait. For Destiny 2, Gjallarhorn has the Pack Hunter trait, which not only increases handling and reload speed near allies, but it grants wolfpack rounds to nearby allies who are using non-exotic rocket launchers as well. Naturally, this will lead to destruction on a massive scale, giving all allies tracking cluster rockets.

Considering the major Halo-vibes to some of the weapons like an energy sword, sidearm, and battle rifle, Bungie has also added a dash of Halo to the Gjallarhorn as well. For players who want to spend a little bit of silver, Destiny 2's in-game premium currency, they can head to Tess Everis and she has a special ornament on sale for the Gjally.
Called GJNKR, the Gjallarhorn takes on a more modern military look to it, complete with red tracking laser and familiar black and green color scheme. Clearly this is based on Halo's classic Rocket Launcher, known as the SPANKR in Halo Infinite. Interested players will need to fork over 700 Silver inside of the Eververse Store.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
