Usage

This perk creates damaging shockwaves from enemies hit by Power Grenade Launchers, with anti-Champion utility.

Shockwave Mechanics

• Activation: 5 hits on the same target
• Effect: Target emits damaging shockwave
• Area Damage: Affects nearby enemies
• Champion Stun: Can stun Unstoppable Champions

Compatible Weapons

Works with Power (Heavy) Grenade Launchers:

• All Elements: Despite the name, works with any damage type
• Drum-fed GLs: Wendigo GL3, Cry Mutiny, etc.
• Exotic GLs: Anarchy, The Prospector, Parasite
• Stasis GLs: Particularly synergistic with Revenant

Known Issues

Current problems affecting the mod:

• Inconsistent Activation: Some GLs require breach GL equipped
• Low Damage: Shockwave damage lower than intended
• Hit Requirement: 5 hits considered excessive by community

Affected Weapons

Require breach GL for full functionality:

• All exotic power GLs
• Marsilion-C
• Cataphract GL3
• Wendigo GL3 (Adept)
• Cry Mutiny
• Regnant
• Koraxis's Distress

Strategic Applications

• Add Clear: Chain explosions through groups
• Champion Utility: Alternative to Pulse Rifle for Unstoppables
• Boss Damage: Additional damage during DPS phases
• Stasis Synergy: Pairs with other Stasis-focused mods

Build Recommendations

• Heavy GL Focus: Build around sustained GL usage
• Ammo Economy: GL reserves and scavenger mods
• Champion Loadouts: Cover multiple Champion types
• Stasis Integration: Leverage artifact's Stasis focus

Limitations

• Single Target Requirement: Must hit same enemy 5 times
• Ammo Intensive: Requires significant heavy investment
• Bug Impact: Current issues limit effectiveness
• No Multi-hit Weapons: Each projectile counts separately

Notes

• Name misleading - works with all damage types
• Shockwave damage scales with GL impact
• Does not consume ammo for shockwave
• Expected to receive fixes in future updates
