[MW: Velocity] "Love and Death is fantastically versatile, and currently the easiest HGL to farm for, full stop. Pre-S15, this would have been the best future-proof HGL for DPS (should they ever be buffed), with the ability to stack your mag with Clown Cartridge, auto-reload, and sporting tied-highest Velocity for 150RPMs. You will [always] want Spike Grenades, at a massive 50% damage increase, then Quick/Hard Launch depending on your Handling preference. Full Court is great in theory, but inconsistent due to the accuracy at range required, so super situational. Demolitionist is great for auto-reloading mid-DPS, and Chain Reaction makes it a fantastic workhorse for general use. (tags: god-pve)

What these Love and Death perks do

Auto-Loading Holster

Refills stowed weapon from reserves after 3.5 seconds of it being stowed.

Demolitionist

Weapon Kills grant 10% Grenade Ability Energy. Kills with Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Glaives, and Fusion Rifles grant 20%. Using your Grenade Ability refills the Magazine with a 3 second cooldown. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Field Prep

Grants the following while Crouched: • 50 Reload Speed • 0.8x Reload Duration Multiplier • 0.8x Ready/Stow Duration Multiplier Passively grants 20 Ammo Generation stat. (50% more than 1 Ammo Generation armor mod)

Full Court

Starts linearly increasing Detonation and Burn (DoT) damage 0.2 seconds after the grenade projectile is fired. Reaches maximum strength after 1.1 seconds at a 35% damage increase. The damage increase is finalized at the point of detonation and any lingering effects left will not increase it further.

Spike Grenades

Increases Grenade Impact damage: • 12.12% increase on Special Grenade Launchers • 12.5% increase on Power Grenade Launchers Due to the ratio of Detonation and Impact damage being tied to the Blast Radius stat on Grenade Launchers, a lower stat will provide a slightly higher overall damage increase.

Chain Reaction

Weapon Kills trigger an elemental explosion matching the weapon's element. Damage and radius of the explosions varies based on the weapon's ammo type: • Special Weapons: Up to 67.2 [44.8] damage in a 2.4 meter radius • Power Weapons: Up to 109.2 [72.8] damage in a 3 meter radius

Clown Cartridge

Reloading randomly overfills the Magazine from reserves by 10% to 50% of the base Magazine Capacity (rounded up). Works out to a 30% overfill on average.

Swashbuckler

Weapon Kills grant a Stack of 'Swashbuckler' for 4.5 seconds. Maximum of 5 Stacks. (Glaive) Melee Kills grant all 5 Stacks instantly. Damage increase at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks: 6.7% | 13.3% | 20% | 26.6% | 33.3% Stowing the weapon removes the buff.

Surplus

Grants Stat Bonuses depending on the number of Charged Abilities. Stat Bonuses with 1|2|3+ Charged Abilities: • 5|15|25 Stability • 5|25|60 Handling • 10|25|60 Reload Speed
