Jötunn

"Untamed. Destructive. As forceful and chaotic as Ymir himself."

- Ada-1

Jötunn is an Exotic Fusion rifle that could be acquired from the Bergusia Forge when forging a Radiant Gold Frame. Radiant Frames can only be bought for Ballistic Logs, which gave the player six chances in total of acquiring Jötunn and Le Monarque each week, two for each character.

With the release of Shadowkeep, players will instead complete a quest which requires defeating Vex with fusion rifles, and the forging of ten Radiant Gold Frames, making for a five week guaranteed acquisition on a given character.

To: Henriette Meyrin CC: Yuki Satou Subject: Yesterday…

Hen,

It's no secret that our conversation yesterday didn't go as smoothly as it could have. I came in hot and you overreacted. We'll both have to learn to be more professional in those kinds of situations going forward.

But I'm not just going to drop this. The Armory will be better for it. It's a chance to make real meaningful connections with organizations that want what we want. The possibilities are endless.

Look, you sought me out, brought me here to this project in large part because of my connections. This is the gold mine. And I know, I haven't said the best things about them in the past. Had my share of hiccups with them. They're not perfect, but then again neither are we. What the Armory is doing, many would lump us both together.

I know that's not the best sales pitch, so let me put it in perspective. Enemy of my enemy. It's that simple. We're all preparing to fight the same threat, whatever it may be, and we all stand to lose the same things. Our best bet is to stand together, and we start that process here, one step at a time. Exos are the future. And we can help make them better than ever.

Plus, don't forget we hold the cards here. This is our tech. They can't touch it, modify it, etc, without our approval. But they can try and steal it or replicate it. I'd rather we maintain control of it, wouldn't you?

Listen, we're sisters. We're family. You know I love you, and you know I wouldn't come to you with this if I didn't think it wasn't in the Armory's best interests. And in all honesty, if you firmly decide no, then I'll respect that. You know I will.

But please say yes. For the future of the Armory. For the future of humanity. For the futures of our children.

Trivia

 * The jötnar, or giants, were a race in Norse mythology of great size and immeasurable strength who directly opposed the Æsir, or war deities. The weapon's element may be inspired particularly by Muspilli, or fire giants.
 * The being Ymir referenced in the weapon's description is described as being the ancestor to all jötnar.
 * Despite being a Fusion rifle, the Jötunn's behaviour is more akin to that of a weak, homing Rocket launcher.
 * Due to the nature of the Jötunn's projectile, it is possible to efficiently snipe immobile enemies at extreme ranges, such as in certain areas of the Shattered Throne Dungeon.
