Destiny 2: Xur Offers Rare Exotic Typically Locked Behind DLC

Destiny 2 players currently have a rare chance to acquire the elusive Gjallarhorn rocket launcher from Xur, bypassing the usual need to purchase expensive DLC. For a limited time, this powerful Exotic can be bought directly from the mysterious vendor for a relatively small price in Strange Coins.

Normally, Gjallarhorn is part of Destiny 2's Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, released in December 2021. Players typically need to navigate a series of steps to unlock it, which involves interacting with both Xur and Shaw Han, and completing the Grasp of Avarice Dungeon found within the paid content. Although the anniversary DLC sometimes goes on sale, its usual price is $24.99, making Gjallarhorn a costly weapon for those without the patience to wait for a discount.

Limited-Time Offer: Buy Gjallarhorn from Xur

Now, for a short window, players can pick up Gjallarhorn from Xur without any complicated steps. The enigmatic Agent of The Nine has returned to Destiny 2, and he’s currently located in The Tower’s Bazaar, offering the rocket launcher for just 23 Strange Coins. This exclusive deal is only available until the weekly reset on Tuesday, September 24.

Though Strange Coins were once a rare resource in the original Destiny, earning them in Destiny 2 is far easier. Players can quickly farm the 23 coins needed to purchase Gjallarhorn within an hour of casual gameplay. Whether it’s competing in the Crucible, playing Gambit, or completing Vanguard Ops, there are many ways to gather Strange Coins. Among these, Crucible matches tend to be the fastest method due to their shorter duration.

Xur's Other Rare Exotics and Gear

In addition to Gjallarhorn, Xur's current inventory includes several other noteworthy Exotics. Players can pick up rare armor pieces like Promethium Spur, Gwisin Vest, and Mask of the Quiet One. The vendor is also selling powerful weapons, such as the Hawkmoon hand cannon, Vigilance Wing pulse rifle, Lord of Wolves shotgun, and Black Talon heavy sword.

As usual, finding Xur is straightforward. He has a permanent spot in The Tower, easily accessible in the Bazaar near the Ramen Shop. With such a valuable weapon up for grabs, now is the perfect time for players to visit Xur before this limited-time opportunity expires.
