Destiny 2 Gjallarhorn guide: How to get it, catalyst location & ornaments

Complete guide to acquiring Gjallarhorn rocket launcher, catalyst, and exclusive ornaments in Destiny 2’s 30th Anniversary content

Gjallarhorn’s Return to Destiny 2

Destiny 2’s legendary exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn makes its triumphant return through the Bungie 30th Anniversary celebration, bringing both nostalgia and powerful new capabilities to Guardians.

The iconic Destiny 2 weapon Gjallarhorn has been restored via the Bungie 30th Anniversary expansion – this guide covers complete acquisition of the exotic, its enhancement catalyst, and exclusive visual ornaments.

Bungie has systematically reintroduced fan-favorite arsenal pieces from the original Destiny universe, with weapons like Vex Mythoclast and Bad Juju already establishing their presence in the current meta.

Gjallarhorn stood as the most notable absence until recently – this devastating rocket launcher dominated raid compositions in Destiny 1 through its signature Wolfpack Rounds perk that unleashes secondary projectiles for massive boss damage.

The weapon became essentially mandatory for Guardians attempting their initial Vault of Glass clears, but the 30th Anniversary content finally reintroduces this powerhouse with enhanced team utility.

Step-by-Step Acquisition Guide

Before beginning your Gjallarhorn pursuit, ensure you possess either the Witch Queen Deluxe Edition bundled with the 30th Anniversary Pack, or the standalone Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack for quest access.

  • The revamped Gjallarhorn introduces innovative team support through its Pack Hunter trait, which distributes Wolfpack rounds to fireteam members wielding rocket launchers for coordinated damage amplification.

  • Initiate the quest by visiting Shaw Han in the Cosmodrome upon game launch
  • He provides the “And Out Fly the Wolves” quest assignment
  • Your next objective leads to the Grasp of Avarice dungeon for initial Wolfpack round retrieval
  • New to this dungeon experience? The following Esoterickk video provides comprehensive navigation assistance:

    After returning the initial component to Shaw Han, hunt powerful Fallen enemies throughout the Cosmodrome (a returning Destiny 1 environment) to gather additional Wolfpack Rounds. Complete collection and report back to him, then consult Banshee-44 at the Tower.

    The concluding phase involves clearing the Exodus Garden 2A Lost Sector, then utilizing Shaw Han’s workshop to construct your personal Gjallarhorn.

    Gjallarhorn Catalyst Mastery

    Gjallarhorn’s catalyst enhancement expands magazine capacity, enables orb creation on multi-eliminations, and boosts explosive output with supplemental missiles. Follow this procedure for acquisition:

  • Re-enter the Grasp of Avarice dungeon for catalyst components
  • Eliminate Reaver Vandals when encountered and collect the Burden by Riches debuff
  • Deposit this debuff into adjacent chests before timer expiration. Repeat for all three chests to obtain the Catalyst
  • Additionally, eliminate combatants using Gjallarhorn – the Thrallway area in Shattered Throne dungeon remains optimal for efficient farming
  • The specific chest locations present navigation challenges. The initial chest resides above the primary walkway during your initial dungeon descent, positioned on scaffolding structures.

    The secondary chest appears following the rolling barrel obstacle. Eliminate the Vandal, acquire the debuff, and proceed through the ventilation shaft. Before traversing to the Ogre confrontation, navigate rightward where the chest awaits on a platform.

    During the cannon engagement phase when artillery positions stabilize, one cannon remains mobile. Resist launching toward the final encounter; instead locate the debuff-carrying Vandal and propel yourself toward the central landmass.

    Exclusive Ornaments & Cosmetics

    Gjallarhorn’s resurgence includes two distinctive ornament variants for visual customization.

    This cosmetic option seamlessly integrates Halo aesthetic influences, deliberately patterned after that series’ SPANKR rocket launcher framework – designated as the GJNKR ornament.

    Acquire this cosmetic for 700 Silver through the Eververse trading post.

    The darkened Gjallarhorn variant demands completion of the Richest Dead Man Alive accomplishment. This requires discovering concealed items within dungeon bottles.

    Advanced Strategies & Loadout Optimization

    Mastering Gjallarhorn involves understanding its fireteam dynamics and avoiding common acquisition pitfalls. The Pack Hunter trait revolutionizes rocket launcher coordination in endgame activities.

    For optimal catalyst farming, prepare loadouts that complement Gjallarhorn’s playstyle. Weapons with add-clear capabilities help build super energy faster, while resilience-focused armor ensures survival during dungeon mechanics.

    Avoid the common mistake of rushing through dungeon encounters – the Burden by Riches debuff requires careful timing and positioning. Always scout chest locations during initial dungeon clears to minimize confusion during catalyst runs.

    Advanced players should coordinate fireteam compositions around Gjallarhorn’s team buff capabilities. When multiple players equip rocket launchers, the Wolfpack Round sharing creates devastating burst damage phases perfect for raid encounters and grandmaster nightfalls.
