Destiny 2
Destiny 2trolled its players earlier this week with a nod to the legendary Gjallarhorn artillery , one of the bang-up additions to a Guardian ’s arsenal in the originalDestiny 1.Destiny 2 ’s new allegiance quest offer role player a glance into a new leaning of items called the Black Market Goods , and one of them is sure to make veterans salivate , as it ’s a replica of the Gjallarhorn that share the weapon ’s intimate ikon .
Destiny 2has been the subject of a batch of contention recently , after Bungie declare it was burst away from Activision ’s control of the plot so that it could develop it the way the studio apartment intended from the start . While we ’re not at a item yet where that breakup will abide fruit - it ’s potential that wo n’t even chance overDestiny 2 ’s lifespan , unfortunately - it ’s certainly stirred up interest in the game ’s future , and has helped created a confirming buzz forDestiny 2 ’s Season of the Drifter .

The newest addition toDestiny 2 ’s Jokers Wild cognitive content expansion is a newExotic quest to retrieve Thorn , a weapon system that was polarise over the form of its existence duringDestiny 1 . The questline center around the presence of the Drifter , who will ask players to make a pick between siding with him or the Vanguard , the military leader of the Guardians that have persisted through both rubric . Either means , the Drifter will require player to natter the Spider afterwards to purchase some illegal good . The Spider will give you access to his Black Market Goods inclination , and it ’s there that players will see a callback to Gjallarhorn sit down in the trafficker ’s armory .
Gjallarhorn will only be recognizable to musician who playedDestiny 1 , since it ’s based on the weapon system ’s icon from the previous game . To the Spider , the Gjallarhorn is call the Midnight Special , and its description is vindicated about how it ’s not an veritable version of the weapon system , but rather a reproduction that ’s non - working . It ’s also impossible to purchase , like all of the detail on the Black Market Goods list , and even if it was purchasable , 20 alien engrams for a trinket would act one of the worst muckle inDestiny 2history .
So Gjallarhorn ’s return toDestiny 2is a joke rather than the heralding of another meta - warping arm . Still , The Spider ’s offerings include a routine of other callbacks that fans of the lore behindDestinywill adore . There ’s an imprisoned Ghost , a callback to the Warminds , a key to the quarters of Executor Hideo , and Hadium Flakes , the latter of which used to be a fabric harvested inDestiny 1 . It ’s a nice nod to the serial ' consecrate playerbase , and perhaps a pernicious admonisher that with Bungie at the helm in the future , thing like this will receive more care and attending as the franchise move forward .
