Discovering the Wicked Sister: Destiny 2’s New Heavy Grenade Launcher
If you’re looking to boost your damage per second (DPS) options in Destiny 2, the recent addition of the Wicked Sister Grenade Launcher in Episode Revenant might just be what you need. This weapon stands out not only for its impressive performance but also for its accessibility to players of all skill levels.
Rethinking Vanguard Weapons
Traditionally, Vanguard weapons have struggled to compete against their Nightfall counterparts. However, this season marks a shift with the introduction of the Wicked Sister, a Strand Heavy Grenade Launcher that positions itself as a strong competitor in the current PvE meta.
Top Perk Combinations
The Wicked Sister can roll with an array of powerful perks that elevate its capabilities. In the first column, it can feature:
- Auto-Loading Holster
- Envious Arsenal
- Envious Assassin
Meanwhile, the second column includes:
- Bait & Switch
- Cascade Point
- Explosive Light
Optimal God Roll Configuration
To maximize your DPS with the Wicked Sister, aim for the following “god roll”configuration:
- Barrel: Quick Launch
- Magazine: Augmented Drum / Spike Grenades
- Perk 1: Envious Arsenal
- Perk 2: Bait and Switch
- Masterwork: Velocity
The Synergy of Perks
The synergy between Envious Arsenal and Bait & Switch is noteworthy. After dealing damage with any weapon, Envious Arsenal reloads your weapons, while Bait & Switch offers a 30% damage boost. This strategic advantage allows players to execute a simple yet effective DPS rotation:
- Trigger Bait & Switch by dealing damage.
- Cycle through your weapons to reload Wicked Sister.
- Repeat the process for optimal DPS output.
How to Farm the Wicked Sister
Wicked Sister can be acquired by completing various Vanguard activities like Strikes and Nightfalls. Alternatively, you can obtain this weapon by focusing it at Commander Zavala in The Tower for one Vanguard Engram, providing a straightforward path for all players.
Optimizing Your Grinding Process
Keep in mind that the Wicked Sister has a wide perk pool, and obtaining your desired roll may require some time. To expedite the process, consider ranking up Commander Zavala to enhance your chances of securing double or even triple perk rolls. It is advisable to refrain from spending Vanguard Engrams on this weapon until you have reset Zavala’s rank at least once. Ideally, aim for three or four resets to improve your odds of obtaining the perfect roll.
Expanding Your Arsenal
The Wicked Sister exemplifies how a well-configured Grenade Launcher can excel in PvP environments as well. For players interested in maximizing their loadout effectiveness, exploring the top PvP weapons can complement the use of Wicked Sister.
