pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I am glad to see more obtainable double-fire grenade launchers. Wilderflight is great, but being locked behind a dungeon means most players won’t even see it drop. Being a Vanguard reward allows more players to obtain it, and I love that as the double-fire is a very fun and interesting option within our ever-expanding arsenal. For PvE you’re looking for the tried and true Envious Assassin, this paired with Incandescent will clear rooms and deal some great damage against bosses. Unrelenting is a great option if you’re committing to using Wild Style as your main weapon, the extra healing plus synergy with Solar verbs will make you unkillable." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Wild Style and by extension all double-fire grenade launchers have one limiting factor, and that is that it fires two shots at once. If your one grenade bounces away you lose half your damage. With Bungie’s architecture it happens more often than not. Disorienting Grenades will allow you to still blind even if one goes away, and High-Velocity Rounds will keep your arc tighter to make bounces less punishing (if you’re not purposefully bouncing shots)." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 109 from 17 July 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2nTeQvaqobDnHpu43iq8eH?si=091612d7b0604589) with @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr (PvE / PvE-Boss / PvE-MajorSpec / PvE-BossSpec / PvE-Champion / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against Majors, Bosses and Champions in end-game actives. Wild Style has returned with a refreshed perk pool and has gone from meh to must have. If you get Disorientating Grenades as the magazine perk, this automatically reduces blast radius to 0 in which case just use the barrel perk to improve velocity and handling. This mag perk disorients enemies up to boss-tier, helping manage firefights with both large groups and more difficult individual adds. As the first column trait perk, Reconstruction is just a better Auto-Loading Holster, overfilling to 2 in the magazine, or Envious Assassin needs a bit more setup but can overflow the mag to 3 shots. Then, Vorpal Weapon in the second column provides a reliable +15% damage. The Tex Balanced Stock origin trait is probably the most useful of the three, unless there's a GL artifact mod in which case use Stunning Recovery. Recommended MW: Handling or Velocity, with a Quick Access Sling mod.

Wild Style has returned with a refreshed perk pool and has gone from meh to must have. To maximise damage, you'll need to reduce blast radius - Hard Launch is the only barrel perk to offer that. Implosion Rounds or Spike Grenades offer similar levels of damage boost as the magazine perks. As the first column trait perk, Reconstruction is just a better Auto-Loading Holster, overfilling to 2 in the magazine, or Envious Assassin needs a bit more setup but can overflow the mag to 3 shots.

Wild Style has returned with a refreshed perk pool and has gone from meh to must have. To maximise damage, you'll need to reduce blast radius - Hard Launch is the only barrel perk to offer that. Implosion Rounds or Spike Grenades offer similar levels of damage boost as the magazine perks. As the first column trait perk, Reconstruction is just a better Auto-Loading Holster, overfilling to 2 in the magazine or, for shorter damage phases, Envious Assassin does need a bit more setup but can overflow the mag to 3 shots. Then, if you're using a B+S ALH rocket launcher (for example), you could swap to this to continue damage with a +30% damage boost while it's reloading. The Tex Balanced Stock origin trait is probably the most useful of the three. Recommended MW: Handling or Velocity, with a Quick Access Sling mod.
