Trait
Demolitionist
Kills with this weapon generate grenade energy. Activating your grenade ability reloads this weapon from reserves.
Demolitionist is a legendary weapon trait with two effects: kills with the weapon generate Grenade energy, and activating your grenade ability reloads the weapon from reserves (3 second cooldown).
Values
- Most weapons: 10% grenade energy per kill. Special weapons get 20%. Other reports name snipers, Shotguns, Glaives and Fusion Rifles with their own values.
- An enhanced version is reported at 11% and 22%.
The reload half of the perk was broken until Hotfix 3.3.1.1 (October 2021) fixed it.
