Tripod or clown cartridge
Hey guys I put up a post earlier about the sick roll I got on my Ash Factory and got overwhelmed with responses. I noticed that the community is split on which perk is better. Gonna set some criteria before you choose ok. We are talking about a rocket launcher for pvp with one in the tube unless it has tripod. I myself prefer tripod because I like a sure thing, but I'm curious to see exactly how split the community is.
GO!

12 RepliesEdited by YahyaTV: 7/1/2015 6:55:04 AMReally surprised how many think Tripod is better. Clown Cartridge + Flared Magwell is better for PvP than Tripod + Javelin. You have a chance to get up to 7 rockets with heavy ammo. 7 rockets > 4 rockets

3 RepliesI feel sorry for everyone that still thinks Tripod rockets are better. Your rocket kills per game can be significantly higher with Clown Cartridge. If you seriously need 3 in the mag then it means you're (somehow) missing with proximity rockets which means that your skill is probably the issue. I'm [url=http://destinytracker.com/destiny/leaderboards/xbox/KillsRocketLauncher?grouped=true&page=1]#4 on Xbox for rocket kills[/url] and the only reason I'm up there is from all those extra rockets Clown Cartridge gave me.

tripod for trials, skirmish, elimination, & salvage. clown cartridge for control, clash, iron banner, & rumble.
-
The rate for clown is 20 or 25% i forget So its like having 1 extra capacity but probably only 1 in the tube For pvp, the heavy weapon loads automatically so clown carteidge doesnt get a chance on the initial pickup I got a fear with speed reload(bar is maxed) clown cartridge and proximity detonation(grenades n horshoes). Holds 2 I reload after the first shot if i can for the chance at a bonus rocket So for a 1 round launcher tripod is more valuable For a 2 round launcher i like clown if it has a fast reload
-
Clown, my rad. fury is on my hunter
-
Trials and rumble.. Tripod. Anything else? You can last longer with rockets while shutting down those nasty machine gunners.. And with the potential for 2-3 rockets in the chamber!

2 RepliesTripod for trials. Clown cartridge for everything else.

4 RepliesIf I ever get a Fury, I'm going to roll Clown Cartridge and Grenades and Horseshoes. You pick up 4 rockets no matter what when you have armour that grants extra heavy weapon ammo. Clown Cartridge is too valuable at that point. But until then, I'll stick to Tripod.
-
With Ash Factory and Heavy Ammo Boots you have 1 in Mag 3 in reserve and with Clown Cartridge you have a chance to get 7 Rockets in total and Tripod just allows you to have 3 in the mag
-
7 RepliesPve. Tripod gives a higher reserve ammo. Tripod also means you get MORE ROCKETS PER BRICK IN BOTH PVE AND PVP. This means you get 4 rockets in pvp per drop. With clown cartridge you only get 3, and if you reload AFTER EVERY SHOT you have a 25% chance per reload to get 1 extra rocket, so on average getting 3.5 rockets per drop if you reload AFTER EVERY SHOT. In pvp: Tripod-4 rockets per drop, reloading ONCE after 3 rockets Clown cartridge-3.5 rockets per drop, reloading after every shot. People who prefer clown cartridge are wrong, as my evidence above shows.
-
2 RepliesI like Tripod for the simple fact that I'm guaranteed 3 rockets. Clown Cartridge may or may not proc on the reload.
-
2 RepliesTripod for Trials. Clown Cartridge for everything else.

Depends if you have a fast reload Perk.....I'm using a dreamwalker with not a great roll, but it has grenades and horseshoes and fast reload perk and it works fine
-
3 RepliesI guess most of the people don't realise that when your magazine holds only 1 rocket, you have 3 chances to generate extra rockets with clown cartridge. 4 can be 7 rockets if lucky.
-
I have mine with cc

1 ReplyIt depends. If it's a base one in the chamber rocket you need tripod, if it's base 2 clown could sometimes be good cuz you could get mad extra rockets instead of just holding more in the chamber you could end up with like 4 extra rockets if you get super lucky.
-
Tripod holds more of the ammo you already have, but Clown Cartridge is just like, "Surprise, bitch! There's more!"
-
It depends on the map. I get killed more frequently in a close quarters map reloading a radegasts, with CC. So I use my ash factory with tripod. But if I have more room to move, I'll use my radegasts.
-
Best is tripod and clown cartridge like I have on my radegast
-
1 ReplyIf my memory serves me right, tripod doesn't give you any extra ammo like most guns with an extended mag, but with clown cartridge you have a chance of receiving an extra rocket. With my luck I had 9 rockets with my Ash Factory and with someone else's luck that's far better than my inferior luck I'm sure you could get over 10 rockets to shoot. This is assuming you grabbed both heavy ammos though.
-
1 ReplyPersonally I like clown cartridge on my radegasts fury because instead of just four rockets I usually get six or seven.
-
2 RepliesDepends on the gametype. For control or clash you'd be an idiot to use tripod, I generally get 5-6 rockets every heavy ammo drop with clown cartridge. For trials you usually don't use all of your rockets so tripod is definitely better.
-
1 ReplyClown Cartridge. It allows for the chance at getting 7 rockets. If you can't hit what you're firing at with proximity then you don't deserve the kill, and you shouldn't pick up heavy.

4 RepliesEdited by njl4515: 6/30/2015 6:10:50 PMIt is preference, dude. Let's take the Ash Factory. Ideally, you want Warhead Verniers as your scope and Grenades & Horseshoes for proxy detonation. That always stays the same. You have two other options: -Roll Clown Cartridge and Speed Reload. -Roll Tripod and Javelin It depends on what you want. The first option is better if you are with your group, picking up heavy ammo with no enemies around. Every reload (which correlates to every rocket you fire) gives you a 25% chance of getting an extra rocket. Five or six rockets are common. However, if you are grabbing heavy ammo surrounded by enemies, you want to be able to fire all your rockets immediately--- reloading means death. That is when Tripod and Javelin come in handy.

For big pvp game types clown For 3v3 formats, tripod
