So we all know that DB is collecting dust in our vaults for a reason. While it has impressive impact,the rocket launcher as a whole is underwhelming,especially its exotic perk. The solar grenade doesn't do enough damage to kill plus enemies walk away from it so its a useless perk overall.
I have two changes,if implemented, will increase its use and worth by 200% and rival the gally:
1.Replace Tripod with grenades and horseshoes. Make tripod a base perk.
2. Replace the solar grenade with the Match grenade from the sunbreaker subclass like in the video.[spoiler] https://youtu.be/HHWB-mpmv60 [/spoiler] . All you gotta do is have the fire wall form horizontally, improve the look to make it look like a gian wall of fire that you can't see through,beef up the damage it deals,and add damage over time like thorn.
Doing this will make it a great pve weapon,halting a thrall rush or even trapping enemies in a small space making it easier to finish them off. It will also make it an effective pvp weapon, having players shoot at a area to stop the enemy team from advancing to your control point adding more strategy to matches.
Bungie,if you implement these changes,you can stop destiny from being a one-launcher game.

Or 1:Take tripod out completely and add quarter strike(this rocket launcher holds 4rockets) 2: add proximity as it's "hidden"/passive perk 3: Change the exotic perk so that it has a cluster bomb effect(no tracking) and all the bombs create a vortex.
