Similar to other grenade launchers, what you deem a god roll entirely depends on how you’ll be using this weapon. In the first slot, I am picking Volatile Launch to significantly increase Ignition Code’s blast radius. This does hamper the velocity and handling slightly, but it’s an acceptable penalty. For the second slot, the absolute god roll is getting both Spike and Blinding Grenades. The former is perfect if you need to deal more damage to boss enemies, while Blinding Grenades give you some terrific crowd control options. Both are extremely useful and you shouldn’t consider any Ignition Code a god roll without these two.
Ignition PVE God Roll
- Volatile Launch
- Blinding Grenades or Spike Grenades
- Ambitious Assassin or Field Prep
- Vorpal Weapon or Frenzy
As for primary perks, we are looking for either Ambitious Assassin or Field Prep. While Field Prep can be useful for damaging static bosses, but I personally prefer Ambitious Assassin since having two rounds in the chamber is terrific for a grenade launcher. In the second slot, both Frenzy and Vorpal Weapon are solid choices. Frenzy gives us a straight damage boost the longer we’re in combat, while Vorpal makes this weapon especially effective against champions and bosses. Ultimately it depends on what you are going to use this for, as Vorpal is strictly better for damaging boss-tier enemies. Also, don’t sleep on Slideshot! It can be quite useful if you need to be mobile and don’t have time to reload.
Ignition Code PVP God Roll
- Quick Launch
- Spike Grenades
- Slideshot or Quickdraw
- Vorpal Weapon or Thresh
For PVP, I really like Quick Launch. While I might be alone on this, the increase in both handling and velocity with no penalties to any other stat. Sure it’s not a massive boost, but I’d rather not decrease our blast radius on the off chance we miss our target. Spike Grenades is in the second slot, mainly so we can ensure that we kill a Guardian when they are hit with a grenade. That being said, you can make an argument for Blinding Grenades if you want to use this weapon to create an opening so you can bring them down with your primary.
Slideshot is always a great PVP perk given how critical mobility is in this game. Being able to just slide away from combat and instantly reload your weapon while boosting its stability and range is terrific. Alternatively, if you prefer to no slide around, Quickdraw allows you to swiftly engage enemies before they can kill you. Vorpal is great for taking down Guardians in their Supers, while Thresh provides us with a source of extra Super energy which is always nice. Even though Ignition Code isn’t the best PVP weapon, it’s still a decent choice for those looking to make things go boom.
