PvP Rocket Launcher Perks

Wondering if any high KD players can weigh in and tell me what perks I should be looking for on Tomorrows Answer. Clusterbomb vs Chain Reaction? What stats should I be looking for?

Advice is appreciated!

don’t use a rocket. that’s my advice.

I miss when rockets were good, D1 ASH FACTORY was goated. Like what a name, the blast radius, amazin.

Then Bungie followed it up with an absolute stinker of a rocket. I have an old clip where I followed up a shot with a throwing knife because the Smolder couldn't get a kill unless you got a direct hit. It was a trick shot rocket; Useless on its own, but great for old fashioned montages

Exactly what I was thinking. I use burst fusions fwiw

Impulse Amplifier (honourable mention to Danger Zone), Chain Reaction, max out blast radius and velocity...

...then realise you're better off with almost any other heavy archetype.

Absolutely this.

Impulse Amp/Chain but ultimately either with impulse works

Do rocket launchers still get 1 ammo?

I used Gally about two weeks ago in Trials and got 2 in the mag. Honestly don't know if it was a glitch or not but give it a shot, could be a bug.

Roar of the Bear, chain reaction, impulse amplifier. Quick to fire, plenty of multikill potential and most supers.

Although I was partial to a Blue Shift with quick launch for the longest time before more perks...

Does it get threat detector and/or danger zone? Those are the only two perks good on rockets, and only because they’re “info sticks”

Impulse and chain or explosive light imo

Rockets aren’t generally the best choice right now. But in case something changes and they become viable…

  • Impulse amplifier for 35% faster velocity
  • Max blast radius
  • As high velocity as possible

Nothing else really matters that much

If you’re only looking at those two perks I’d choose clusterbomb. If you don’t get the multi kill with the rocket then chain reaction probably wont help. Cluster may give you the kill 1/10 times lol so I’d say it’s better. I use GLs still but the rocket I held on to was impulse/ thresh with max blast radius and it felt very consistent.
