Gjallarhorn, probably the most (in)famous weapon in Destiny history, is returning to the series as part of Bungie's 30th anniversary celebrations this November.
In a major showcase today, creative lead Tom Farnsworth announced "a party" inside Destiny 2 to celebrate the studio's milestone. A "30th Anniversary Pack" will adda new pirate-themed dungeon to the game, from which Gjallarhorn will be obtained. Appropriately enough, this dungeon will be set in the infamous Loot Cave – a cave in the Cosmodrome which players would stand in front of in the early days of Destiny 1, shooting endlessly spawning monsters hoping for an Exotic to drop.
In yet more blasts from the past, fan-favourite Legendary weapons Eyasluna and 1,000-Yard Stare will return in the dungeon, which will also drop a new armour set inspired by Thorn (a spiky, chitonous Exotic hand gun). The 30th Anniversary Pack will also offer Bungie-themed ornaments and cosmetics, plus a new sword based on the Claymore from Myth. The Pack itself will presumably be an additional purchase, as Farnsworth contrasted it with a new six-player matchmade activity that will be free to all players as part of Bungie's big party.
