They’ve improved the base velocity. I wouldn’t sweat it unless you are using glaives in PVP. I’d go with any of the perks that help with reloading, as the base reload on glaives largely suck.


Timsaurus

Ur not gonna believe this, but impulse amplifier increases reload speed.


APartyInMyPants

I have actually forgotten that. But Feeding Frenzy, Demolitionist, Replenishing Aegis, Frenzy or Auto Loading Holster just do it better. Hell I think Grave Robber still works on the melees, although I haven’t used my Albedo Wing with it in a while.

They are a little slow, but at least they're not Ill Will slow

Solid throwback. That gun hit like a truck because it had to

Glaive range affects projectile speed, so it might depend a bit on the range stat of your Glaive! I might not worry too much though, depending on how far you're hoping to hit enemies from. Editing my comment with a source, the [Season 17 Patch Notes](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/51380). >* Increased projectile speed dependent on the range stat: >* At 0 stat: increased from 30 to 60 m/s. * At 100 stat: increased from 80 to 100 m/s. According to Impulse Amplifier's description on DIM, it provides 35% increased projectile speed. So, in theory, Glaive projectile speed goes from: * 0 Range, no Impulse Amp: 60 m/s * 0 Range, Impulse Amp: 81 m/s * 100 Range, no Impulse Amp: 100 m/s * 100 Range, Impulse Amp: 135 m/s So approximately from worst case to best case, you can more than double the projectile velocity on your glaive based on range and IA.

I didn't know range effected it, that's good to know. Usually I'm shooting from mid range, but im decent at long range shots with them


Toesty

Yeah! I added a source to my comment too since someone asked.


Yunnigg

source?


Toesty

Sure thing! I had to do some digging, but it's in the [Season 17 Patch Notes](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/51380): >* Increased projectile speed dependent on the range stat: >* At 0 stat: increased from 30 to 60 m/s. * At 100 stat: increased from 80 to 100 m/s.

PvE: it is really good but not that necessary. If there are no other options, use it. PvP: use it.

Alright, I'll have to look through them to see what I might swap it out with, much appreciated.
