Whats the sorta dps difference between good rolls on these two? Is it even comparable?

#

I have way more crucible engrams than vanguard, so I feel it would be much easier for me to get a god roll of the blowout and would like to know if its a decent replacement.

#

I also have an ensemble explosive light blowout with reload speed mw. Idk if thats a decent roll or not but it seems alright.

This is what I know for sure:

#

Adept hothead is better then blowout

#

blowout is being used over hothead for solo nezerac since its wayy easier to farm

#

The dps diff between normal hothead and blowout is pretty negligible

#

The good roll for blowout is explosive light and demo. But the god roll for solo nezerac is demo frenzy since orbs are so difficult to make

hothead has 6 and 6 column options and 3 good ones depending on how you play
blowout has 12 and 12 column options, again 3 good ones
maybe rng is on your side for the blowout but i doubt it lol

Hothead has objectively better rolls and holds 1 more rocket in reserves stock

#

Blowout is far easier to farm

#

Blowout is missing alh and clown cart from its perk pool

From personal experience, a god roll blowout was way easier to farm for me. If you are a pvp person, you get showered with engrams for focusing

#

Vanguard engrams are much rarer and if you don't have it in your collection you need 5 to unlock the hothead, whenever is double rep is a good week

blowout is easier to farm but has double the perk options and not as many good ones

#

but also crucible resets give you up to 3 at once per column

#

hothead is better and easier to get a good roll, but slower to get a drop

#

I just don’t bother with vanguards since I prefer doing dares and such instead lol.

#

As for vanguard, I’ve been tryna do a gl with friends but we don’t seem to be quite ready for it, having died on the boss each time.

#

but yeah in essence blowout is fine as long as you dont want an auto load roll or a clown cart roll

#

which happen to be two good rolls for certain stuff

#

also next season apex predator is getting a perk refresh, 50/50 it's cracked

#

new dungeon rocket too

#

hothead could always be brought back as a current nf weapon as well

#

if you need a rocket right now get red herring

#

craftable with enhanced field prep and frenzy

#

Does anyone else prefer the old linear meta to hothead or is that objectively wrong?

#

linears are boring

#

linears are boring because they require no thought

#

unlike rockets were the best dps is you running and swapping between 400 things
