Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The weapon shares its name with an exotic rocket launcher, which can be earned after completing various events or a specific side quest in Destiny 2. Its description reflects its function in Destiny 2, as the gun can be used to great effect by raining incendiary missiles on distant enemies.
Additionally, in Norse mythology, Gjallarhorn was the horn used by Heimdall both to drink out of Mímisbrunnr and to signal the beginning of Ragnarök with a blast heard across the Nine Realms once he saw the giants approaching Asgard's borders.
