Summary
- Destiny 2 players can currently buy Gjallarhorn from Xur.
- The rare Exotic rocket launcher is normally locked behind the $24.99 Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack.
- Xur will be selling Gjallarhorn for 23 Strange Coins until September 24.
Destiny 2 players currently have a limited-time opportunity to purchase Gjallarhorn from Xur for a modest sum of Strange Coins. Obtaining this rare Exotic weapon normally requires purchasing a pricey Destiny 2 DLC pack.
Gjallarhorn is one of the weapons included in Destiny 2's Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, which launched in December 2021. The process of assembling it is a bit convoluted, as it requires the player to talk with Xur and Shaw Han, then complete the Grasp of Avarice Dungeon included in the anniversary pack, among over half a dozen other steps. And while the DLC itself is frequently on sale, it normally retails for $24.99, making Gjallarhorn pricey to get for anyone not patient enough to wait for discounts.
Destiny 2 Xur Is Now Selling Gjallarhorn for a Limited Time
Destiny 2 players have now been offered a limited-time opportunity to obtain the Exotic rocket launcher in a more straightforward fashion, by simply buying it from Xur. The shady Agent of The Nine himself is currently back in The Tower's Bazaar, where he has returned on Friday, September 20. Among other things, he is presently selling Gjallarhorn for a modest sum of 23 Strange Coins. The merchant will stay put until the next weekly reset, which is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24.
While Strange Coins used to be a precious resource in the original Destiny, its sequel is much more liberal in how it distributes them. Earning Strange Coins in Destiny 2 is hence a straightforward affair, with players having plenty of opportunities to farm them. Depending on the method, the 23 coins needed to purchase Gjallarhorn from Xur can be procured in roughly one hour of casual play. Activities in the Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard Ops playlists all award different amounts of this currency. Crucible matches tend to be the most efficient source of Strange Coins, not least because they are the shortest of the bunch.
Gjallarhorn is far from the only great Exotic that Xur is presently selling in Destiny 2. The merchant's current inventory also features some rare armor pieces, such as Promethium Spur, Gwisin Vest, Mask of the Quiet One. The Hawkmoon hand cannon and Vigilance Wing pulse rifle are part of his existing offerings as well. Ditto for the Lord of Wolves shotgun and Black Talon heavy sword.
As has been the case for a while now, Xur has a permanent residence in The Tower, so getting to him has never been easier. He is located in an alley right next to the Ramen Shop in the Bazaar.
