Destiny 2 Season of the Wish
The Heavy GL changes also hit parasite in a big way, with it now having increased damage and reserves over what was possible before. The changes include base reserves from 7 up to 13, or 17 at 3x reserve mods. And a damage increase at 6%, since this weapon never utilized spike grenades. Especially the reserve buff allowed the parasite to be used as a run and gun option in pretty much any activity. Charge up worms hunger and throw the parasite at any major, champion or boss.

Solar holster is also huge when running Parasite, it works essentially as a free auto-loading holster perk. When stowed for 2.5 seconds parasite will be reloaded. This even means you can use the parasite for boss DPS rotations as you would with something such as Apex Predator.

Full Parasite Description:
Kills with any other weapon or ability provides stacks of worms hunger (Max of 20)
Red bars give 1 Stack. Majors give 4 Stacks. Champs and Bosses give 5 Stacks.
Each stack of worms hunger increases Parasites damage and blast radius, at a max amount of 20 parasite is dealing 200% extra damage.
If you are hit by a Parasite explosion you will be given the buff worm byproduct which increases weapon damage (except the parasite) by 15% for 10 seconds.
