Gjallarhorn has Destiny fans — even lapsed players — excited a month before The Taken King expansion

If you had quit Destiny, developer Bungie is giving you a good reason to come back.

Every weekend, a merchant named Xur shows up in Destiny to sell exotic weapons. This week, Xur is selling Gjallarhorn, one of the most coveted legendaries firearms in the game. You can finally buy it (rather than playing for hundreds of hours with the hope that you’ll get it from one of the randomized drops) and play with it if you have enough space bucks to afford it. But even if you can’t, you’re probably talking about it with your friends and on social media, and that is turning into a fair amount of free advertising for a game that is about to drop a $40 expansion next month.
