Destiny 2 Xur Selling Rare Exotic That You Can Usually Only Get Through DLC

Key Takeaways

  • Destiny 2 players can currently buy Gjallarhorn from Xur.
  • The rare Exotic rocket launcher is normally locked behind the $24.99 Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack.
  • Xur will be selling Gjallarhorn for 23 Strange Coins until September 24.

As a seasoned Destiny 2 gamer, I can’t help but feel like a kid at Christmas when Xur rolls into town with his exotic wares!


Players of Destiny 2 at present have a temporary chance to buy the uncommon Exotic weapon, Gjallarhorn, from Xur for a reasonable amount of Strange Coins. Typically, acquiring this rare weapon involves purchasing an expensive expansion pack for Destiny 2.

The Gjallarhorn weapon is featured in Destiny 2’s Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, rolled out in December 2021. Putting it together isn’t straightforward; you’ll need to interact with Xur and Shaw Han, followed by completing the Grasp of Avarice Dungeon from the anniversary pack, along with several other tasks. The DLC itself often goes on sale, but typically sells for $24.99, making Gjallarhorn a pricey acquisition for those unwilling to wait for markdowns.

Destiny 2 Xur Is Now Selling Gjallarhorn for a Limited Time

Players of Destiny 2 now have a chance to acquire the Exotic rocket launcher, Gjallarhorn, in an easier manner, directly purchasing it from Xur. This enigmatic figure associated with The Nine returns to The Tower’s Bazaar on Friday, September 20. During this visit, he is also offering the Gjallarhorn for a reasonable price of 23 Strange Coins. Xur will remain at his post until the weekly reset on Tuesday, September 24.

In the original Destiny, Strange Coins were a hard-to-come-by treasure, but in Destiny 2, they’re handed out more generously. For me as a player, earning Strange Coins in Destiny 2 is quite simple, with numerous chances to farm them. If you play casually, it usually takes around an hour to gather the 23 coins required to buy Gjallarhorn from Xur. Activities like Crucible matches, Gambit, and Vanguard Ops all dish out varying amounts of this currency. Crucible matches are particularly profitable because they’re the quickest among the bunch.

In Destiny 2, Xur isn’t just peddling Gjallarhorn; his current stock includes some exceptional Exotics too. Among them are the Promethium Spur, Gwisin Vest, Mask of the Quiet One, and a few other rare armor pieces. Additionally, he has the Hawkmoon hand cannon, Vigilance Wing pulse rifle, Lord of Wolves shotgun, Black Talon heavy sword, and possibly more items available for purchase as well.

For some time, Xur has made The Tower his permanent home, making it more convenient than ever to reach him. You can find him nestled in an alleyway, just steps away from the Ramen Shop within the bustling Bazaar area.
