Ignition Code god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Ignition Code is back and better than ever? Not really but it has a neat origin trait. Slideshot still remains unique and allows for consecutive shots. High Ground is easy to proc and if you've got enough room you can keep sliding back and forth with your enhanced damage. Ambitious Assassin, Lead From Gold and Unrelenting are all great perks on their own and I wouldn't be upset with them. Paired with Frenzy or Vorpal Weapon for damage and you've got yourself a solid workhorse weapon. Outside of the Area Denial frame this can still fit most any loadout." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

If you're still looking for a kinetic burst damage grenade launcher Ignition Code could happily fill that gap. As a lightweight frame, you get the usual +20 mobility and ×1.0625 boost to speed. At base, the stats are decent - 72 Velocity equates to 57.25m/s, 64 Handling is 0.38s ready, 0.38s ADS and 0.34s stow speed, and 64 Reload Speed is a 2.15s reload. With 0/1/2/3 Ammo Reserves mods, total ammo count is 24/25/25/25 (max 25). To maximise damage per shot, Hard Launch and Implosion Rounds in the barrel and magazine perk slots combine for ×1.225 damage and +25 Velocity, or you can forgo damage for a bit of extra handling with the barrel perk, and Spike Grenades are almost as good for damage. In the first trait perk slot, Slideshot provides a way to bypass reload, Lead From Gold keeps ammo topped off or Ambitious Assassin overflows the magazine on a kill and manual reload. For damage you have a choice of Frenzy, High Ground or Vorpal Weapon. The Splicer Surge origin trait is nice for PvE - reload after dealing damage for up to three stacks, which boosts handling and reload speed by 10/20/45 and applies a reload animation multiplier of ×0.967/×0.934/×0.9. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Quick Access Sling Mag mod.|tags:PvE PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Crucible is a different story. To be blasted by back to back Disorienting Grenades would be a test of patience not many would be able to pass. Slideshot is incredibly strong when you have ammo. Unfortunately grenade launchers are just not as strong" Recommended MW: Velocity, Handling.

If you're still looking for a kinetic disorienting grenade launcher for add control, Ignition Code could happily fill that gap. As a lightweight frame, you get the usual +20 mobility and ×1.0625 boost to speed. At base, the stats are decent - 72 Velocity equates to 57.25m/s, 64 Handling is 0.38s ready, 0.38s ADS and 0.3 4s stow speed, and 64 Reload Speed is a 2.15s reload. With 0/1/2/3 Ammo Reserves mods, total ammo count is 24/25/25/25. For use for disorienting crowds of adds, look for handling and velocity with the barrel perk, as Disorienting Grenades in the magazine perk slot will set the Blast Radius to 0 regardless. In the first trait perk slot, Slideshot provides a way to bypass reload, or Lead from Gold helps with your ammo economy, and Frenzy does provide a ×1.15 damage boost, but mostly maxes out Handling, and Reload Speed too for when you're manually reloading. The Splicer Surge origin trait is nice for PvE - reload after dealing damage for up to three stacks, which boosts handling and reload speed by 10/20/45 and applies a reload animation multiplier of ×0.967/×0.934/×0.9.
