Destiny celebrated its 10th anniversary on Sept. 6 with a special title, and armor set, but it seems Bungie has another surprise in store.
From today until reset on Sept. 24 players can purchase Gjallarhorn from Xur for 23 Strange Coins. Not only is this a weapon commonly used in high level activities, or to clean up trash mobs, it’s the centerpiece of Bungie’s 30th Anniversary Pack. Reports indicate the weapon can be purchased by anyone, though there does not appear to be a way to get the catalyst without the DLC.
The choice to sell Gjallarhorn makes sense, as Sept. 20, 2014 was the infamous day where Xur sold Gjallarhorn. Thew weapon, which would go on to be the meta defining year one exotic, was considered a meme weapon. The most common belief being a heavy exotic was a waste, since you’d use it the least.
It was a mistake players quickly realize they made, and one they would have to live with given Xur would damn them to the RNG grind for almost the entirety of year one. The next time the weapon would be offered was week 49 of the 53 week cycle. After that the weapon was left behind in year two, made a quest reward in year three, and wouldn’t return until the aforementioned 30th Anniversary Pack where it has remained until today.
Those interested should absolutely purchase it this weekend as the weapon is unlikely to ever reappear. It’s likely a one off celebration, though Bungie has not officially said either way.
