pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload. Adaptive(120) Arc Grenade Launcher Heavy Ammo. "I don’t super know what to say about Wendigo GL3 that hasn’t already been said. There is a niche burst damage roll with Clown Cartridge and Cascade Point. Clown Cartridge will give you a nine round magazine and if you can get Cascade Point going you’ll have a 200 RPM grenade launcher for an incredibly quick mag dump. In general you might want Auto-Loading Holster or Field Prep and either Explosive Light or Frenzy for general damage. Chain Reaction and Golden Tricorn will be incredibly strong together for add-clear."

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Blast Radius. Adaptive(120) Arc Grenade Launcher Heavy Ammo. "In PvP there aren’t a lot of specific rolls that will change for different purposes. Proximity Grenades will give you some forgiveness. Impulse Amplifier and Rangefinder will give you a quick and linear shot. Chain Reaction does give some multikill potential."

What these Wendigo GL3 (Adept) perks do

Explosive Light

Orb of Power pickups (even while the weapon is stowed) grant 1 Stack of Explosive Light. Maximum of 6 Stacks. Firing the weapon comsumes 1 Stack per Shot, granting increased damage and 100 Blast Radius. Grenade Launchers: 60% increased Explosive damage. Rocket Launchers: 25% increased Impact and Explosive damage. (Does not affect Wolfpack Rounds)

Auto-Loading Holster

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

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.

Disorienting Grenades

Passively grants -200 Blast Radius, 25% decreased damage, and 15% decreased detonation radius. Enemies within 6 meters of the explosion are disoriented for 4.5 seconds. Disorient radius cannot be increased using other perks. Champions and Bosses are unaffected by Disorient. (Disorient is effectively the equivalent of Arc Blind without any of the elemental synergies and anti-champion benefits) Players near the explosion briefly lose their HUD and have their screen distorted for up to ? seconds. Duration varies depending on the distance from the blast.

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)

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

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. Self-damage and environmental damage do not count.

Golden Tricorn

While the perk's buff isn't active, Weapon Kills grant 'Golden Tricorn x1' for 7 seconds, increasing weapon damage by 15%. Additional Kills refresh the buff duration. While Golden Tricorn x1 or x2 is active: Grenade or Elemental Melee Kills matching the element of the Weapon grant Golden Tricorn x2 for 10 seconds, increasing weapon damage by 50%. Clarity tooltip editor's note: We're replacing the previous Powered Melee term with Elemental Melee. The former is now exclusively used for perks that require the consumption of a Melee Ability Charge. This note is temporary and will be removed in the future.

Impulse Amplifier

Passively grants 20 Reload Speed and 15% decreased Reload Animation Duration (20% for Rocket Launchers). Passively increases Projectile Velocity based on Weapon Archetype: • Rocket Launchers: 10% • Support-Frame Auto Rifles: 15% • Micro-Missile Frame Weapons: 25%

Rangefinder

Aiming Down Sights grants the following benefits: • 10 Range • 10% increased Effective Zoom • 5% increased Projectile Speed The Effective Zoom increase pushes out Aim Assist Falloff by 10%, reduces (Absolute) Recoil by 10% and narrows the Accuracy and Aim Assist Cones by the same amount. (This is the normal behavior of Zoom and isn't unique to Rangefinder)
