pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "While it might not be as strong as Salvager’s Salvo in terms of room clearing as you’d need to get the enemies to line up to a degree, that will still not stop its fun factor. Getting the Salvager’s Salvo roll on Forbearance or unrelenting and chain reaction to get health from your booms would also be a nice way to roll into some thrall.". Recommended MW - Reload.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 8. Shapeable through the Mars Relic. PvE first choice roll for end-game content. The first arc wave-frame Grenade Launcher, but no boss damage parks, so focus on those that help with add clear. You'll want decent weapon swap speeds, and shots to get where they're going as fast as possible. Both Unrelenting and Ambitious Assassin have their place with Chain Reaction. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, Velocity or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Adept Big Ones or Taken Spec) mod.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Similarly to Explosive Personality, wave frame grenade launchers aren’t going to break the meta, and won’t be super strong. They have some utility especially in Control or Iron Banner where there are capture points and choke points. But outside of that they are pretty limited.". Recommended MW - Handling or Reload.
