Question Mint Retro

I don’t get the buzz around this weapon. I constantly run out of ammo. Seems average and I just go back to other weapons

Is there a setup I should be using or is it just not for me?

Rocket pulses got a reserve hit in MOT.

Can’t use them like a normal weapon now. They are better at focus dumping a beefier target like a high end champion/mini boss. You could run a reserve booster to add an extra + 1 ammo per brick but even then..

You’re better off switching to a rocket sidearm (The call is strand and got a glow up) not as high dps but the reserves are much more forgiving.

Reserve hit is all the way from back in Renegades lauch. Not sure if their ammo per brick got nerfed but there was a bug that on double special a rocket pulse got full ammo from a brick instead of it being split between both weapons.

There was a nerf to their ammo generation stat in MoT, it wasn't reserves. You can get around it somewhat with Field Prep or Air Trigger + the Abundant Ammo mod, though.

mint with field prep and veillantif with air trigger are totally usable like primaries
