[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Reload / Handling for ALH] "Explosive Personality is our new non-sunset Solar wave frame, sporting a bunch of decent perk options, and the benefits of being a Craftable weapon. Land Tank is a great Origin perk to have, especially for a wave frame where you are getting rapid kills in close proximity to the enemy. Unrelenting pairs naturally here, along with fast reloader perks like Threat Detector / Feeding Frenzy / Frenzy. There is currently an odd glitch (4 weeks into WQ) where this gun specifically does more self-damage, so can't be fully utilised shooting at your feet in the same way all other wave frames can."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Being solar alone will get it a lot of use and having the ability to get auto-loading holster will give it the ease of use neither of the other wave frame launchers can get. I think Explosive Personality will be the base that other wave frame launchers will be compared to, not because of how good it can be, but mostly because of how easy it will be to use. [...] The wombo combo of stats for all and one for all for maximum grenade-dage (new word, copyright pending) you could ever want." Recommended MW: Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "I do not think wave frame grenade launchers have much of a foothold in Crucible besides meme builds. They definitely have their use, especially with disruption break. But a regular tube grenade launcher will just do the job better." Recommended MW: Handling.
