pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "We can still make Mountaintop into a formidable weapon and certainly one to chase. Ambitious Assassin allows up to two shots per magazine after a kill, if you were to pair that with Frenzy for 100 reload you could use this for back to back firing against a boss. The added 15% damage boost won't hurt either. Vorpal weapon is another flat 15% damage boost. The best bang for your shot is Recombination. This gives you a 100% damage increase for any 10 elemental weapon kills. If you ever wanted Izanagi’s Burden in the form of a grenade launcher, Recombination paired with Auto-Loading Holster will be the roll to grab." Recommended MW: Velocity.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Mountaintop originally didn't have much of a footing in PvP but quickly dove right into our nightmares. If you want a quick-swap roll go for Slickdraw. If you want more of a long ranged tube shotgun roll, Impulse Amplifier will make the grenade shot near instant. With the way special ammo is shaking up in the crucible through the meter or boxes, I think some of the best perks for Mountaintop are the swap perks, Harmony and Recombination. Both allow you to build up a higher damage shot to make Mountaintop one shot again, bringing it back to Recluse or another Harmony weapon to flex on all the hunters out there."

What these The Mountaintop perks do

Recombination

Elemental Kills grant 1 Stack of Recombination even while the weapon is stowed. Maximum of 10 stacks. Each Stack additively increases the damage of the next shot by 10% [5%], up to 100% [50%] at 10 stacks.

Ambitious Assassin

Kill counter persists through stow. Overfill amount per Kill scored: • Primary Weapons: 20% • Special and Power Weapons: 10%

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.

Frenzy

After being in Combat for 12 seconds: Grants 15% increased damage, 100 Handling, and 100 Reload Speed for 7.2 seconds. Works and can activate while stowed. Dealing and receiving damage refreshes the buff duration. For Frenzy, being in Combat is defined as having either dealt or received damage within the last 5 seconds.
