Destiny 2 Feeding Frenzy – What Does it Do?

Unexpectedly META since Season of Plunder.

Destiny 2 Feeding Frenzy is one of the game’s more popular perks. It’s not an S-tier perk by any stretch, but it does see some use in particular god rolls. It’s been used a lot more since Season of Plunder, though, thanks to the introduction of Voltshot – a phenomenal perk that benefits from Feeding Frenzy.

Destiny 2 Feeding Frenzy – What it is

Destiny 2’s Feeding Frenzy perk is an ammo-economy perk that increases your reload speed based on how many kills you get prior to reloading. It’s generally considered to be an A-tier perk and sees use in a handful of specific, niche god rolls when something like Subsistence isn’t available – or the roll has a perk that activates on reload, like Kill Clip or Voltshot.

When you get a kill with a weapon that has Feeding Frenzy – you get a stack of its buff. Each kill in a short space of time increases your stack, up to five. Each stack of Feeding Frenzy progressively increases your reload speed:

  • 1 Stack – +10 reload speed.
  • 2 Stacks – + 45 reload speed.
  • 3 Stacks – +55 reload speed.
  • 4 Stacks – +70 reload speed.
  • 5 Stacks – +100 reload speed.

So, at five stacks, your reload speed is significantly faster than it is by default. As a result, any other perks that activate on reload suddenly become much more viable. Perks like Voltshot and Multikill Clip work great with it – but only in PvE. In PvP, you’re never getting more than one or two kills in rapid succession – and two stacks of Feeding Frenzy won’t matter that much.

Feeding Frenzy is one of the better support perks in Destiny 2 – particularly for PvE. So, consider running it on your next god roll.
