[Breakdown] Gjallarhorn, Wolfpack Rounds and their implications for other Rocket Launchers

I am a highly intelligent question answering bot. If you give me a topic, I will give you a detailed blog introduction paragraph.

Gjallarhorn, Wolfpack Rounds and their implications for other Rocket Launchers. Gjallarhorn is a new rocket launcher in Destiny 2 that has been causing some controversy. The weapon’s damage output is higher than that of any other weapon in the game. This article will break down how damaging it can be, as well as its impact on the rest of the game.

Today, I’ll go through the old and new Exotic Rocket Launcher Gjallarhorn, its perks Wolfpack Rounds and Pack Hunter, and how it affects the Rocket Launcher meta.

Gjallarhorn – The King’s Return

Gjallarhorn is a returning Destiny 1 exotic, as most of you are undoubtedly aware. Due to how excellent and yet hard to achieve it was in Year 1 of Destiny 1, it still holds the hefty weight of being both magnificent and a threat to the game. Who wants to squander an unusual slot on a hefty weapon?

Mechanic’s Base

Gjallarhorn has Volatile Launch for a wider explosion radius and Alloy Casing for quicker reloads. When its rockets detonate, the exotic perk “Wolfpack Rounds” enables them to break into eight tracking cluster missiles. When it’s near teammates, its exotic attribute “Pack Hunter” offers it better handling and reload speed, as well as Wolfpack Rounds for your comrades’ legendary rocket launchers.

Gjallarhorn also has (hidden) intrinsic tracking and proximity detonation, which will be useful later.

Catalyst

When it kills, the catalyst gives it two more in the mag, as well as more potent Wolfpack Rounds missiles. I won’t go into detail about those strong missiles in this article since they seem to be unimportant for Boss Damage.

Numbers of Base Damage to Bosses

These figures allude to Zulmak, the Pit of Heresy.

Visit our PvE Damage Spreadsheet for comparison, which contains all special and heavy weapon damage stats on Zulmak. For a handful of explanations, absolute figures are necessary, however bear in mind that LL discrepancies result in different absolute values on various bosses.

Result: 10.533 Detonation time: 36.978 seconds 47.511 total

Impact of Wolfpack Rounds: 8 x 552 = 4.416 8.456 x 1182 = 9.456 x 1182 = 9.456 x 1182 = 9.456 x 1182 = 9.456 13.872 total

61.383 in total

Inconsistencies

Because the Gjallarhorn has Proximity Detonation, the impact damage is uneven, and after some testing, we discovered that you lose it more frequently than you gain it, which hurts the weapon significantly. The size of the monster can make a difference, but even a massive boss like Zulmak cannot guarantee the effect.

Furthermore, the Wolfpack Rounds have the ability to bounce before detonating, giving you more than 8 hits and increasing damage. Before detonating, we detected up to 16 impact values during testing.

This is what we get if we divide it down into damage ranges:

47.511 + 16 x 552 + 8 x 1.182 = 65.799 Best case scenario: Initial impact and 16 WPR effects

Worst-case scenario: no first effect and eight WPR impacts (36.978 + 13.872 = 50.850).

When utilizing the rifle alone, the loss of the first impact might significantly reduce your damage output, which is something to keep in mind.

Legendary Rocket Launchers for Pack Hunter

As previously reported, the exotic feature “Pack Hunter” provides all legendary rocket launchers in your fireteam Wolfpack Rounds, which seems like a good answer for something that could’ve been destined as a “pAy tO wIn GuN” situation.

For 15 seconds, when you shoot Gjallarhorn near to your fireteam, they get the perk. To apply the benefit, make sure you’re very near to your teammates and shoot first. It’s not a passive situation!

Perks that affect the damage of Wolfpack Rounds include:

Vorpal Vorpal Vorpal Vorpal Vorpal Vor (10 percent ) craziness (15 percent ) Making a Lasting Impression (25 percent to the detonation of the Wolfpack Rounds, roughly 17 percent overall) Specs for Bosses (7,8 percent ) Modifications for Combat

Explosive Light has no effect on Wolfpack Rounds, whether this is intentional or not.

Legendary Rocket Launchers with Impact Casing and Wolfpack Rounds do the following damage:

Vorpal: (67.334) x 1,1 = 74.067 + Frenzy: (67.334) x 1,15 = 77.434 + Boss Spec: (48.590 + 13.872) x 1,078 = 67.334 + ((36.978 + 9.456) x 1,25 + 11.612 + 4.416) x 1,078 = 79.848 + Explosive Light: (48.590 x 1,248 + 13.872) x 1,078 = 80.324 + Lasting Impression: ((36.978 + 9.456) x 1,25 + 11.612 + 4.416) x 1,078 = 79.848 +

Despite the fact that Explosive Light does not improve Wolfpack Rounds, it still has the greatest damage output per shot since it is by far the best buff to the first rocket. Keep in mind that the aforementioned contradictions with the Wolfpack Rounds’ bouncing apply to legendary rocket launchers as well, which might explain the contradictory facts in multiple youtube videos on the subject.

It’s worth noting that Gjallarhorn has two DPS figures in the magazine. This aligns it more closely with the legendary alternatives, which just have one in the mag and ignore the proximity detonation difficulties. Visit the spreadsheet mentioned previously for additional information on DPS figures.

Reduced damage to bosses

When compared to Majors, Wolfpack Rounds seem to provide a 66 percent damage reduction against Bosses. This has already been taken into account. As a result, Wolfpack Rounds do much more damage to Majors like Minibosses and Champions.

Consequences for the Boss DPS meta

Gjallarhorn is a fantastic game. The gun itself isn’t very impressive, owing to the regular loss of 20% of your damage due to proximity detonation, but the attribute “Pack Hunter” is enormous. If you don’t stack Particle Deconstruction AND Divinity, Legendary Rocket Launchers with those rounds can easily compete with Linear Fusions and 1K. One Gjallarhorn should be brought first, followed by legendary rocket launchers for the huge stonks.

It’s nice, but you don’t want to bring six of them to a boss battle, as Chris Proctor explained in an interview with the Community podcast.

The “destiny gjallarhorn replica” is a weapon that has been in the game since its launch. It’s a rocket launcher that can fire three rockets at once, with each rocket having a different perk. The first perk is the “Gjallarhorn,” which does increased damage to enemies in melee range. The second perk is the “Wolfpack Rounds,” which increase magazine size and reload speed. And finally, the third perk is the “Heavy Caliber Rounds,” which increases the amount of time that you can stay zoomed-in before your view shakes.
