[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Reload] "Red Herring's main niche is access to Enhanced Field Prep for maximised reserves, though doesn't necessarily win out against the multitude of rockets we have for either burst, combo, or sustained damage. It's good if you need a void rocket, and synergises with Volatile Rounds. Not a huge amount to write home about unfortunately."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "[...] solid DPS weapon. With field prep and lasting impressions paired with Gjallarhorn you can put out some incredible damage. Nothing else there, just make sure you don’t already have a good deeps weapon.". Recommended MW - Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "For PvP you’re almost better off using an inherent tracking rocket launcher because then you don’t have to slot a perk in for it. But then again exotic rockets are just even better at killing le dude(tm).". Recommended MW - Blast Radius.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 8. Shapeable through the Mars Relic. PvE first choice roll for general content. No Auto-Loading Holster (although faster crouching reloads with Field Prep helps in a pinch), nor intrinsic tracking. Aim to round out Velocity, Impact Damage and Reload Speed with Barrel, Mag and Masterwork. On the plus side it does slightly more damage intrinsically. Lasting Impression or Frenzy give solid damage boosts, and it's void so works with a Void 3.0 build. Recommended MW: Reload Speed or Velocity, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.
