Good news and bad news for Destiny players as Xur would no longer sell the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher but he would sell the Hawkmoon in its place if the reports and rumors are to be believed.
The Gjallarhorn rocket launcher is considered to be the best weapon for boss fights in Destiny and rightfully so as it is the one of the weapons that is capable of turning any nightfall strike or raid boss into a joke.
And now it seems that Bungie would look into making the Gjallarhorn more difficult to obtain by removing it from Xur's inventory thus making the Gjallarhorn to be obtainable via drops or lucky engram decryption only.
An alleged Bungie employee took to 4Chan and had an "ask me anything" session on video games or /v/ board of the popular image board website.
The alleged Bungie employee admitted that the Gjallarhorn is meant to be a "boss killing" weapon and that the game's balance would be put in jeopardy if they make that weapon available for purchase via Xur and every one would have access to the pound-for-pound best boss killing weapon in the game.
He noted that a the number of Nightfall and Weekly heroic strikes that were finished went up when they sold the Ice Breaker recently and that they've concluded that the difficulty of the game was lessened when Xur sold the Ice Breaker. He stressed that they can't make it available to everyone because the difficulty of the game would drop dramatically if everyone had Ice Breakers and Gjallahorn.
The alleged Bungie employee then told them that they can't nerf the two weapons either as any nerfs to them would make them borderline useless and not feel as unique to compared to other legendaries and exotics in the game. Plus they know that gamers who have these items already wouldn't like it if the nerfed the weapons.
But the good news is that Bungie is allegedly going to add the Hawkmoon and the Vex Mythoclast into Xur's inventory and that they're looking into separating the Playstation and Xbox One Xur inventory thus allowing the PS4 users to buy the Hawkmoon without Xbox One users being able to get it or vice versa. This also means that the Hawkmoon could finally appear on the Xbox ahead of the PS4 "exclusivity" timer expiration of the weapon.
Me myself... I have both Gjallahorn and Icebreaker, I agree with this discussion
I am an Xbox 360 User unfortunently

Anonymous 4chan AMA Why does anyone ever believe these things. Like even once?
-
Xur is done selling exotics, engrams and heavy synths... He'll now only be offering class items, emblems and shaders offered by various parts throughout the tower. This way you won't have to run all over the tower to find which one you want. Source: Myself. I've played the game quite a bit and my girlfriend's last name is spelled kinda like Bungie.
-
Listen, unless you hear it from DeeJ on this forum or Twitter, or another officially announced and named bungie employee, don't take it as gospel... That is all....

I think its likely Xur will sell Hawkmoon but it'll not happen until after the exclusivity year is up. That's contractual with Sony.
-
3 hawkmoons and 3 vex already! Noooo
-
Did you eat paint chips as a kid?
-
jellllyyyy rolllll
-
4chan... most reliable source ever... think i'll go on there, start a thread masking myself as a Bungie employee and make rumors that there is a hidden ghost skin in CE... it's hidden well and looks just like the other hidden ghosts around the game
-
Gallahorn? Is that a new gun?
-
HahaHAHAHAHAhahahaha 4Chan I hope you're trolling. [spoiler]and you are[/spoiler]
-
By the way, that place had an article that xur would never sell ice breaker again. That it was off his loot table. They were citing the same anonymous 4chan "source". Xur sold it 4 days later.
-
You need to understand that the website you read this from, also states Xur would never sell the icebreaker. Then, that same week. He sold the icebreaker. Sooooo......
-
He won't sell playstation exclusives. XD
-
That is the smelliest pile of crap I've ever seen on this forum. Tell the random 4chan dude that we want a photo of his ID badge for bungie or no dice; he can blur out his name and photo. Also Xur will not sell exclusives and they have already said he won't ever sell mythoclast Please take time to use your mind and validate a post or news article before spreading it around
-
1. Hawkmoon is a PS exclusive. Xur won't be able to sell it until the week of September 9th (Sony's exclusivity contract ends then). 2. Rumors are almost never true. 3. It is still entirely possible that Xur will sell Gjallarhorn, Xur is RNG. 4. Mythoclast is a raid-only weapon. Xur will never sell it.
-
He's already sold it. If it would unbalance the game if it was more accessible then it is obviously broken. Everyone has the ice breaker and it isn't game breaking.
-
No that's all BS. I would never believe a forum created by a troll for trolls. What will they do in September when PS exclusives will be available to XBONE users? Magically blend the loot tables again? No chance. With Bungies history, when they make a decision they rarely alter it.
-
Why do people believe rumors?
-
These conversations have been had since the first time Icebreaker was sold. "They're off the table for Xür. They're too powerful to be widespread." ....yet,guess what Xür sold over a million of? Gjallarhorn has been dropping like candy for me and my mates lately, and I fully expect Xür to sell it again quite soon.
-
What a load of bull
-
So your saying that this "employee" announced that Bungie is planning to break their contract with Sony regarding weapon exclusivity? I dont believe this for a second. Plus they will make Vex Mythoclast a purchaseable item? Yea not likely.
-
Could people please stop quoting that stupid article???? Did you also quote it before they updated it (yeah, it was saying Gjallarhorn and Icebreaker before Xur sold the Icebreaker...)? And actually, if you're going to quote, please use the quote tags...
-
So Xur won't sell Gjallarhorn because someone on 4chan said so? Because it is a boss killing weapon? This overlooks the fact that Xur has sold it before. It would also suggest that Thunderlord and Hardlight are boss killing weapons. RNG. Theory proven wrong, next thread.
-
He hints at being a troll when he says Hawkmoon will be sold. He goes full on nuclear trollpocalypse when he says they will add the Vex Mythoclast to Xur's inventory. People believe this trash?
