Hello people of the Destiny community, today I would like to pose a question.
Which rocket launcher, the Norfleet or the Gjallarhorn, is the more powerful?

I feel as though I don't need to explain anything about the Gjallarhorn to you, though as many of you have not played Borderlands, I've included a video by MAK showcasing the Norfleet.
I will begin by stating their individual properties, and then compare each of them.
First, the [u]Gjallarhorn[/u].
[spoiler]The Gjallarhorn is an exotic rocket launcher that makes use of a special perk called "Wolfpack Rounds". These split off several smaller projectiles from the base rocket after the initial explosion, which track to nearby enemies and cause this rocket launcher to have the highest DPS in Destiny. It uses the Solar element.
It is mainly effective against large enemies with a plentiful amount of health, or bosses, especially those with solar shields.[/spoiler]
Now, for the [u]Norfleet[/u].
[spoiler]The Norfleet is a legendary Rocket launcher from Borderlands 2 that makes use of insanely high initial damage and an extremely wide blast radius, as well as post-impact elemental DoT's to dispatch enemies. It comes in every element available in the game (fire, slag, corrosion, and shock), in order to effectively deal damage to certain types of enemies. It has incredible versatility, as a version of the Norfleet is a staple for nearly every powerful build in the game, and is essential for end-game gameplay.
These features make it the highest DPS, and best, rocket launcher in Borderlands 2.[/spoiler]
And finally, the comparison.
[spoiler]While both rocket launchers are incredibly powerful, they are not the same. The effect that sets the Gjallarhorn apart from other launchers is it's post-impact DPS, making it very easy to take down enemies with large health pools, though it is only useful against large singular enemies or a cluster of smaller enemies.
The Norfleet, on the other hand, is the best in BL2 because of it's initial damage and ability to come in every element, providing much needed versatility, whole the post impact DoT's are purely a bonus. It's power and blast radius allow it to take down large groups of singular enemies in a single shot, or alternatively defeat Raid Bosses in only a few shots, with the correct buffs.[/spoiler]
Due to the points I have outlined, I hold the Norfleet as the better launcher. It deals substantially more relative damage, has a much wider blast radius, leaving it capable to take down much larger groups of enemies, and finally, deals damage over time and initial damage in every element, allowing it to be used in every situation, while the Gjallarhorn is only applicable against enemies with a solar shield or no shield at all.
TL;DR: Norfleet>Gjallarhorn.

So more than half the people here half never seen or fired a Norfleet. Here's the visual image. The Gally and Norfeet enter a room with hoards of enemies and bosses behind them. Both rocket launchers are 365. The Gally starts taking out enemies and with all 7 rockets fired there are still tons of enemies. Than one round of the Norfleet is fired. Light is everywhere. The enemies arnt just blown up but swallowed by the light and the high blast radius is dealing damage beyond walls. Its not a fair comparison between a Gally that has rockets versu a Norfeet that just destroys everything in one shot with elemental damage.

I like how you vote northfleet if you've played borderlands and if you vote ghorn you've never played borderlands and have seen no gameplay of the northfleet
-
FOR -blam!-S SAKE THE NORFLEET WOULD DESTROY A GALLY AND BTW WE ARE ON THE DESTINY FORUMS WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!!!!
-
Norfleet, I have yet to play Borderlands 2. Handsome Jack Collection worth getting after TTK?
-
You shoot a nor fleet in a room and it kills anyone there and people behind walls #BEATDOWNBARBRAWL
-
Considering one of the only things borderlands has is explosions and over the top weapon Id go for the one with the silly name. ;) bring on the hate.
-
Just came from farming the pyro Pete bar brawl with norfleet/sham combo and I have to say gjallarhorn [spoiler]lol jk[/spoiler]
-
Norfleet for sure Gally is more like Badaboom
-
Lol theirs more votes for gjallarhorn what idiots...
-
Norfleet. It has a HUGEEEE radius and destroys EVERYTHING in one hit. It's like a ultra mega ghorn!
-
Edited by Erijian: 8/18/2015 8:40:47 AMNorfleet? Pssh.
-
Buff money shot plz gearbox
-
Lol Gjallarhorn only applicable against solar shields or none at all. This line alone makes this a satire post right?
-
Norfleet is better it's insane
-
Better question is fat man or norfleet.
-
Norfleet can melt steel beams. Gjallarhorn can't. Obviously over half of these guys haven't played BL2
-
Can you rocket-jump with a Gjallarhorn while dealing 80,852,478,999,521.7 damage to everything around you? I didn't think so. [spoiler]Norfleet FTW![/spoiler]
-
Norfleet is a weapon only dropped (usually) by Vermyvorous the Invincible. The power of this sexy toy it's ridiculous. I can't imagine a Defender Titan using this when he has active the Iron Siege to make orbs. Party xD
-
Borderlands fanboys are all idiots to be comparing these two games.
-
People that vote ghorn has not played BL2
-
Norfleet Just have all of them Corrosive Explosive Fire Electric
-
Where's the poll for The Bitch? I wanna vote for that just because of the name. I have one called the Corporate Bitch lol.
-
Man, I was blowin up 53s with my 50 Norfleet last week! [spoiler]well, I did have to slag the crap out of em first, but still. [/spoiler]
-
