This comment section is in dire need of a refresh. Dual-Loader was recently(?) buffed to have NO downside anymore; the perk now gives you the benefit of loading two ammo per reload "cycle" like an Aggressive Scout Rifle without the Reload penalty.

That's... that's absurd. That's functionally a final +100% Reload bonus. Enhanced Dual Loader still loads THREE shells per cycle. That puts every single other Reload-boosting perk to shame. There's no reason this perk should have a score so low anymore.

The one problem this perk has at all now is that you basically can't get it on anything, because the absolutely radiant minds at Bungie thought to try removing the perk from most weapons because it was so bad instead of buffing it to begin with. The Enhanced version is currently exclusive to the Wastelander and Ragnhild, and the normal version is on far fewer actual weapons shown in the "Randomly Rolls On" tab because it was removed from their perk pools, so if you don't have them already, tough trains.

As for perk combinations, I mean... Vorpal Weapon, One-Two Punch or Trench Barrel. This perk lets you reload so fast now even without - but especially with - a Reload-boosting magazine or masterwork, that a Shotgun like Dead Weight or Xenoclast can do some *real* damage, because you refill the empty magazine so *FAST*.

why would you ever use this over anything on any gun.

No actual tactical advantage to having this perk. Maybe someday Bungie can give this an actual upside, but as is, the reduced reload speed is too much.

Fun with graviton forfeits new reload perk but probably not optimal

if you don't have access to DSC, a dual loader blasphemer is probably your best bet for dps, provided you have a lunafaction well. otherwise, don't bother with this perk. the reload nerf is going from -50 to -35 with Witch Queen but this will still probably be very bad.

It's alright, but only really for PvE. Think of it as a DPS upgrade, since it technically increases your reload speed.

Thematically fun, basically useless in practice. They could take away the reload speed penalty and this would still be very difficult to justify over better alternatives like Auto-loading holster that will reload your weapon in a similar amount of time while letting you do anything else (like use other weapons) while you wait, or even something like Slideways or Subsistence. Probably one of the worst perks in the game.

Its niche, thats all there is to say.
Will only shine in rolls that have either frenzy or trench barrel. Maybe even field tested with Hand-in-Hand/Dead Weights
Otherwise would need either an aspect or exotic armor perk that buffs reload speed like No backup plans or Dragon's Shadow
