When De💛stiny merchant Xur turned out to be sellꦫing Gjallahorn - arguably the game's most powerful weapon - last week, people went a little nuts. After all, here was an extremely potent item that, for a very limited time, could be purchased using in-game currency rather than praying to the random number generator♒ that it would drop.

Unfortunately, not everyone was at their console that day. In one specific case, a 68-year old Destiny player had to text his non-gamer son with instructions on how to log in and pick up the weapon. In a twist on the old "parents calli🥃ng their children for tech support" expectation, it was Reddit user "noeljaboy" who received a series of texts from his father explaining how to spend "strange coins" to get this goofily-named rocket launcher from an even goofier-named character in a video game full of aliens, robots, and alien ღrobots.

Take a look:

We imagine noeljaboy's story isn't the only one out there of Destiny players eager to cash in on the seeming generosity of Bungie. What did you do to ensure🦩 your ownership of this legendary bazooka?
