What's the best roll on a PvP grenade launcher? Do I want blast radius or not? Are spike grenades really worth it in PvP, prox grenades, or something else?
I've tried multiple different rolls on different GLs, but nothing seems consistent.

Jotunn is some bullshit in everything. I know it's a little inconsistent for the person using it, but some of the deaths I've had in Gambit are like...X(
That's not quite how aim assist works. Aim assist is just the 'friction' that makes your reticle sticky. Hit boxes/bullet magnetism on weapons are a different thing. Some weapons have watermelon sized boxes (I believe it's actually a cone), which end up being the ones that people say are consistent or have good hit registration.

Best hand canon + roll in the game for console outside of NF imo.
I finished all the IB bounties and still somehow only got 2 pieces of armor. I remember armor dropping pretty frequently before in IB.
I really wanted the shader you get for having a complete armor set.

You have to complete the quest. Each step of the quest unlocks a new armor piece
Sorry I misread. It has Rapid Hit instead. But yes I want to give it a try, see if it feels better than my Lunas.
There was a quest? I thought you just had to do all the bounties.

Eff. Explosive rounds are a must. The flinch and partial lack of damage fall off, the 180 archetype, + accurized and range MW with opening shot...shieeet.
Service revolver can't roll explosive rounds unfortunately.
There was a quest with a few steps everyone complained about. Quest is something like: 1. kills, 2. captures, 3. ability kills (of each type), 4. weapon kills (of a variety of types, including swords, scouts, and auto rifles), 5. wins. In the first four steps, you got credit for your team mates' actions, but more for your own.
Have been killed by it a few times. Dislike using 360s (and 450s) though.
Are we going to be able to complete the rest of the IB quest (For the 'new' armors) when Iron Banner comes back next month, if you didn't finish it this time?
I noticed it said it had to be done during Season of Opulence, so I'm hoping that means it'll let you continue when IB returns, since it'll still be during Opulence.

Of course, they are season long bounties.
Don't get swept up in the rush by streamers and no-lifers.
No swepting to be had lol, I don't even watch streamers (and especially not destiny ones). I just wasn't 100% positive and wanted to be sure it was season long.
Thanks for the clarification though!
For Breach loaded?
You need Ambitious Assassin for one, getting a kill with it allows you to load 2 shots which is awesome. The consensus is that you need spike grenade to ensure the damage is lethal on direct hit and a high velocity in order to make it 'consistent' because all nade types have a small amount of Prox Det so you need hit them fast before the prox det take place. Prox Nade is still good but you need to instant swap another weapon for the clean up.
For Drum loaded, all you need is Prox Nade with Blast radius perks/MW because the base damage is already high so a prox det will still kill.
For easiest kills with the most consistency you want max blast radius with proximity nades. Aggressive frame launchers have high velocities by default so one of those is the easiest to use but by no means the only option. I use the Swarm of the Raven from the last IB but here's a discussion on the finer points over at Reddit's Crucible Playbook - https://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePl...dden_gem/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app
Edit - And I'm talking drum loaded heavy weapons here. Breach loads are a little different.
Do you want to one-bang people with breach loading launchers? Do you want to use them as openers or closers? For the former, spike grenades are great, the latter, proximities are great.
For drums, see matmanx1 's comment/link. Finished MT off with last season's vendor SotR and it was better than my Play of the Game with proxies.
They are both part of the aim-assist stat, though. The range stat, weapon type, and range to target also affects this— scout rifles are far less sticky at close range than mid-range so that there's a reason to use hand cannons.
I will have to continue that quest next month.
Will need Scout, Sniper and Sword kills...
Also that Curated Vouchsafe seems pretty cool 🤷♂️

I actually had fun in Iron Banner. I hadn't touched PvP since the early days of Destiny 2 when it seemed pretty boring. I got 3 Swarms, none with spike grenades though.
Quick question: How do you all handle your vault space. I get a headache trying to make sure I don't shard anything decent. I really wish all rolls we've ever had could somehow be pulled from collections.

First time blind it took me like 3+ hours. The boss fight at the end was roughest part to deal with at the time and our coordination wasn't good.
I had a trust with hammer forged rifling, extended mag, opening shot, explosive rounds with a stability MW drop a few weeks ago....
It has retired my Luna's so far.
I usually get at least one person afk. They're just farming for the chalice runes.
I spent a couple hours yesterday doing sword kills after I got my quest done, just so I could help others along. It was fun trying to bait people into coming round corners so I could chop them. The Citadel map is good for it. Just need to hang around the inside of the building at B. Not B point itself, but the building on the opposite side from the heavy ammo spawn. Plenty CQC action there.
It seems that once i got to that step most of the sword people left because i still had a 0% :(
Competitive in PVP? The spike hardon is for PVE, only because it's a void heavy as well. You can use any 150 GL with Spike, but you won't do as much damage as a Spike when Tractor is applied.
If you didn't get a spike Swarm, just spend tokens at Zavala and get an Outrageous Fortune. Done
You should have it if you got 2 armour drops, you probably hit the Grenade kill grind. It took me like twice as long as every other step in the Quest combined and that was me going out of my way to get grenade kills.
In my experience, it's usually a good 45 mins to 1 hour. Mind you I'm usually taking first timers through and helping them get their Wishender, Ahamkara bones and/or corrupted eggs which adds a few more minutes. But with a high LL and experienced fireteam you could do it in 20-30 mins.
Yep. If you have Hard Launch, that's a nice bonus because it reduces blast radius. Generally you want that as low as possible to maximize impact damage. I actually had a Swarm from last season that I've been using with Rampage and Threat Detector. Hardly a god roll, but after using it a lot I fee like the perks don't matter much as long as you have Spike Grenades.
So i had completed that mission long ago then since i have one in my vault lol
Heroic Menagerie?
If so then yikes D:
Oh Word?
How much Silver are we talking here 🤔
If you're talking about the Trust discussion from earlier, it can also roll drop mag which takes care of the reload speed.
I don't like drop mag, I don't like being forced to spend ammo that way. Compulsive reloader here. I get its appeal, though.
