Special weapons GLS

[fervent dew]

Dose it matter to have spike grenade on GLS for dps rotation? I have been running the blinding perk instead off spike for dps

gl does like 2 damage it doesnt really matter you just have to shoot something that can shoot instantly

After the changes on march 5. spike nades went from giving a 8% increase to being a 3% increase so not much. Running disorienting instead isnt gonna make a noticable difference, but spike nades are a little better

It’s basically comparable to impact casing

Do you want it? Yes. Do you need it? Absolutely not.

if ur talking about izi gl apex, the gl makes such a small percentage of the dps that it really doesn’t matter

i’d be surprised if spike grenades give over 0.5% more damage than without them

This was only on heavy GLs not specials

But still, not significant, it’s much more important than you just get the grenade off fast and don’t waste time like reloading or smtn

yeah, and for stuff like wilderflight it can be preferable to have a blinding roll over the spike since thats useful for neutral game

assuming you arent swapping from a trace or using a build that doesnt need weapons

i feel like 90% of the use for wilderflight is swapping from a trace

[grim hare]

fair point

[fossil tree]

even then, it makes up such a small % of a dps rotation that it rly doesn’t matter if ur using spike grenades

imo not even worth farming unless you’re a speedrunner or wtv

i got lucky with one and it def boosts dps but it’s barely noticeable compared to a slug or sniper shot

[teal echo]

only reason ur using wilderflight is for swaps

If you care abt it you should want spike
