One of my favorite things to do in PvE is run forerunner with Verity's brow. The grenade does indeed power up with Verity's perk, throwing two angry, chunky grenades and nuking anything that isn't a boss will never get old to me. Another great review~

its super super fun in PVP imo to pair with the bxr battler, speaking of halo. heck you can put on the halo sword as heavy if youre that into it lol. The thing I like about BXR/Forerunner over other pairings with forerunner like a sidearm, is when I run out of forerunner ammo I still have long range capability, while the BXR also can perform in short range due to the hip fire. In other words forerunner is good at long range while you have ammo, while bxr can play at all ranges when you dont. of course it's not perfect and bxr isnt as good at short as other options, but at least you retain some capability at all ranges when out of special. i havent used forerunner since the special changes though, and being old i typically run double primary. so i'm not familiar with the new special economy, but it seems if anything it would definitely hurt forerunner.

I mainly use Scout Rifles most of the time in PVP but since I don't have DMT, whenever I don't feel like constantly ADSing, my loadout becomes Forerunner and BXR. Cliche but they feel so good and I grew up on Halo. Allows me to be solid at mid ranges while still being mobile.

I’ve been using this gun since it came out, in low end, and mid tier content the gun shines, in high end content the catalyst shines the most, for easy ad clear potential, what I think would make this gun better, is very simply more reserves and slightly higher damage against shields, with all the exotics we have that use special, even though they may have less they do more in forms of champions, utility and swap, I would love to see a little buff because this gun needs it and it deserves some love.
