pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Envious Arsenal is the new hotness and Bitter/Sweet is one such hotness to get. Any of your favorite damage perks in the fourth column paired with Envious Arsenal is an easy damage rotation. It works best with Bait and Switch as both have similar activation requirements but Explosive Light is fantastic and Cascade Point has better burst DPS." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "For grenade launchers to be competitive in the crucible you need to hit or surpass 70 blast radius to kill all resilience levels. Volatile Launch and High-Explosive Ordinance both hit that with some room to spare. If you don't get that far you'd need to invest into a blast radius MW. Otherwise you can go velocity to make up for the lack of Impulse Amplifier. Unrelenting is great for going on sprees but if you're just running and gunning you should opt for Explosive Light to get even more damage per shot (i.e. forgiveness)." Recommended MW: Blast Radius or Velocity.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 119 from 22 October 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6CEZXurwhqejVZpX506M2a?si=7ef44c5f06ae4412) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways, and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for add-clearing beefier Minor and Major enemies in both general and end-game, underleveled content. Bitter/Sweet is an arc adaptive grenade launcher with decent stats. At base, it has 39 Handling which equates to 0.44s ready, 0.43s ADS speed and 0.40s stow speed, while the Reload Speed of 42 is a 3.22s reload. Total ammo at base with 0, 1, 2 and 3 reserve mods is 25/27/28/29. For a fun, completely unserious roll, boost the Velocity and Handling with the barrel, add Spike Grenades for its ×1.027 damage boost on direct impacts in the magazine, and play to proc the origin trait to overflow the magazine to 12 (15 when the weapon's enhanced). Then use Reverberation to maximise Blast Radius to help proc Killing Tally's ×1.3 boost to damage for the rest of the magazine until you stow or reload. The Dark Ether origin trait is one of the best in the sandbox for PvE - generate a Dark Ether charge for 5s from kills, and then shoot with any weapon (or run into) the charge to proc a Dragonfly-type detonation which also overflows your weapon to ×1.4 (rounded up) base capacity or ×1.8 when enhanced, completely bypassing reload. Recommended MW: Handling or Velocity, with a Backup Mag mod.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
