Besides items that drop from various encounters, you can also get the Grasp of Avarice exotic rocket launcher, Gjallarhorn.

To get Gjallarhorn in Destiny 2:

1. Buy the 30th Anniversary Pack – This is required to unlock Gjallarhorn.
2. Start the Quest – Go to Xur’s Treasure Hoard in Eternity and pick up the “And Out Fly the Wolves” quest.
3. Finish the Grasp of Avarice Dungeon – Complete this dungeon to continue.
4. Complete Quest Steps – Follow the steps, including collecting Wolfpack Rounds by defeating strong Fallen in the Cosmodrome and visiting Shaw Han and Banshee-44.
5. Assemble Gjallarhorn – Return to Shaw Han to finish the quest and receive Gjallarhorn.

Grasp of Avarice also offers the following collectibles:

• Hraesveglur Exotic Gjallarhorn ornament: To unlock the Hraesveglur ornament for Gjallarhorn, you need to collect 12 hidden messages from Wilhelm-7 within the Grasp of Avarice dungeon. Finding all 12 messages completes the “The Richest Dead Man Alive” triumph in the 30th Anniversary Vidmaster seal, rewarding you with the ornament.
• Catalyst: To get the Gjallarhorn catalyst, run the Grasp of Avarice dungeon again after unlocking Gjallarhorn. Look for three special yellow-bar enemies throughout the dungeon. Damage each one until it drops a “Burden of Riches” debuff, then quickly carry it to a nearby chest to remove the debuff. Repeat this for all three enemies to unlock the catalyst, which boosts Gjallarhorn’s performance by adding a second rocket in the magazine and enhancing its Wolfpack Rounds.
• Exclusive Emblems. You can get 2 emblems from the Grasp of Avarice.
  • Absolutely Cursed: you must complete the GoA Dungeon for the first time (Grasp of Avarice Complete).

Is Grasp of Avarice Farmable?

The Grasp of Avarice can be farmed for loot, but keep in mind that its Exotic drop is limited to once per character each week.

Here’s a quick guide to farming GoA dungeon:

1. Run the Grasp of Avarice on your main character until you reach the encounter you want to farm.
2. Begin the encounter, then wipe.
3. Ask your Fireteam to hold on, switch to another character that hasn’t completed the dungeon that week, and rejoin them.
4. Wipe again to set the checkpoint on this new character.

To continue farming:

• Start the dungeon with the character holding the checkpoint.
• Switch back to your main character and rejoin your Fireteam.
• Complete the encounter to receive loot.
• Keep switching characters and rejoining the team to farm the GoA dungeon as many times as you need.

Grasp of Avarice Armor Sets

As all other Destiny 2 dungeons, the Grasp of Avarice dungeon includes a unique armor set for each class.

Below, you can see GoA armor sets for Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans.

These unique armor sets from the Grasp of Avarice dungeon look great for each class (in my opinion) and reflect the GoA dungeon’s distinct style. They’re surely not worse than such popular sets as the Prophecy gear and are great for transmogrification.

Master Grasp of Avarice Rewards

The Grasp of Avarice dungeon in Destiny 2 has a Master version. Instead of Adept weapons like those found in Master Raids, Grasp of Avarice rewards players with Artifice armor.

Each piece of Artifice armor includes an extra mod slot that helps refine your stat distribution. This special slot can hold Artifice mods, which give a +3 bonus to a chosen stat without using any armor energy. This makes it easy to boost a stat to the next tier with no drawbacks.
