'''Gjallarhorn''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Rocket Launcher]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEKeMsQ9AB4 '''DattoDoesDestiny''' - ''Destiny Guns! Exclusive Gun Images From E3! | '''Gjallarhorn''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Weapons#Rocket launchers|Rocket Launcher]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEKeMsQ9AB4 '''DattoDoesDestiny''' - ''Destiny Guns! Exclusive Gun Images From E3!]</ref> It is also the only [[Rocket Launcher]] that has tracking missiles that each function separately from the warheads. It is currently available through a quest called [[Beauty in Destruction]], where you retrace the steps of its original maker, Feizel Crux. The rocket is one of three [[exotic]] [[Rocket launcher]]s found in Destiny that are made by the Crux-Lomar weapons foundry. The other two are [[Dragon's Breath]] and [[Truth]]. | ||

Gjallarhorn's special perk is "Wolfpack Rounds", wherein rounds fired from this weapon split into tracking cluster missiles upon detonation of the main warhead. This adds to the overall damage of a single round and thus can down high-level enemies and/or bosses in a short amount of time, or take out large groups of lower-tier enemies. In ''[[Rise of Iron]]'', there is a quest available for players to forge their own Gjallarhorn after the main story is completed. | Gjallarhorn's special perk is "Wolfpack Rounds", wherein rounds fired from this weapon split into tracking cluster missiles upon detonation of the main warhead.
