Why You Should Get the Swarm of the Raven Grenade Launcher
Swarm of the Raven has great traits for PvE. This weapon can clear enemies very fast and increase its base magazine so it can shoot more grenades. Grenade Launchers have lots of reserve ammo so you can use this to kill lots of enemies. In PvP grenade launchers tend to be able to pick up 3 grenades making it more ammo efficient than a rocket launchers single use.
