pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I was kind of hoping for better from Typhon GL5. It had tough competition from the likes of Blast Battue, Crowd Pleaser, and even Memory Interdict. With a stacked line up Typhon GL5 had to either impress or get left behind. Unfortunately the latter is what is happening. Even with chill clip you really would be better off using a headstone weapon for the stasis crystal shatter and slow / freeze. Chill clip was underwhelming but does have room to grow." Recommended MW: Reload.

[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Velocity / Reload] "Typhon GL5 feels fantastic - Impulse Amplifier, as always, seems to be the driving force for this, along with the new Omolon Origin Trait that bolsters reload for the top half of the magazine. Explosive Light is a top-tier option for orb-heavy engagements, though comes into effect less often than you'd think post-orb change. Adrenaline Junkie would be my workhorse recommendation here, until the day that Heavy Grenade Launchers see themselves as a viable DPS option again."
