While there’s a lot of wiggle room in the all-important first and second perk columns, there are at least some definitive best perks in some areas. Forbarrel and magazine, you’ll want Quick Launch and High-Velocity Rounds, respectively, for theadditional projectile speed and blast radius.

From here on out, you’ve got a decision to make. For Warlocks especially, which traditionally have the best grenade-oriented builds,Demolitionist and Blast Distributor are top-tier, providing instant reloads or increased grenade damage on hit respectively.

With Starfire Protocol back on the menu for Warlocks as of Edge of Fate, the above roll makes their Fusion Grenades even more potent while dishing out respectable AoE damage.

However, Titans and Hunters can have fun here, too. ForStrand synergy, Slice,and Elemental Honing is an excellent choice. Likewise, you can also lean into neutral game and Super generation withAttrition Orbs and Vorpal Weapon, although it’s worth noting that the former perk isn’t as good as it once was, following nerfs.
