It's a beast.

[@seanl7503]

Thoughts on the Luna Regolith sniper from strikes? It has great perk potential and feels really good.

[@hauntedhotdog]

Crafted already and it's absolutely going to be glued to my guardian. I always feel like I can fire this at max rate of fire without too much adjustment the gun recoil just feels... right. The sights are great, the sound is great, and what a looker it looks so good with many different shaders. It's a terrific weapon for consistent dueling at very solid ranges. And I can run it with Duality. It's a pvp home run.

[@thebapslaps]

Yet a lot of other content creators say it's nothing special lol.

[@thealldayspecial]

I give you immense credit for giving an honest evaluation of something especially at a time when a lot of players vaults have "all bases covered"/"nothing to chase". Sure it's not going to be everyone's tea if the standout perks for the job never really clicked for person's overall "feel" and playstyle, but we gotta take these weapons that fill some holes as we get em and it's a double bonus if it's something that somebody newer never really had in the first place.

[@pigslayer275]

I see what you're talking about w/ the "Destiny 1 DNA" Thing. I remember a really slim Handcannon from New Monarchy being similarly slim, and it was one of my favorites

[@RunningWild32]

In my opinion, one of the most underrated aspects of this hand canon is how great is looks with just about any shader. 10/10 cosmetic

[@RunningWild32]

@@quentinb734 for real. Honestly, it's kind of a pain in the ass because it's really hard to decide which one to choose. I spent 10 minutes going through my shaders and there were about 50 that I thought looked so good

[@EarCat]

I just had a thought. It's a hive themed hand cannon. It's got a design similar to Lord High Fixer. Therefore I dub thee, a Lord Hive Fixer

[@MattEnters]

For those who find the gun off to use, try using either Extended Barrel or a Counterbalance mod. The one stat that's lower than normal on this gun is recoil direction, either one of these should fix that.

It's criminal the perk pool is what it is though, like by God you could swap out Gutshot for Hatchling, Invisible Hand for Snapshot, there's just some of these perks you could easily swap out for something to give this gun a little more Strand build potential or niches no other handcannon has. Like Snapshot and Eye of the Storm would be amazing.

[@CoolGuyGames]

I agree. One or two perk switches especially hatchling in there.

What surprised me the mosts is how good this feels in PVE. maybe it's the hand cannon buff but I'm enjoying it. Crafting Stats for All + MKC for PVE and EOTS + KW for PVP..

[@dougcarey2233]

Glad you referenced the similarity to the AoS stat split. That was one reason why I couldn't get behind all those who were saying it's mid. It's not mid, it's elite in a field of elites. And yet it still hangs in there.

[@jpmorgan6146]

I crafted the AoS split, as I think the sb split everyone is going for seems okay. And I can’t put my finger on why but I don’t love it, the range feels slightly off even tho it’s great on paper. Something with the recoil too even tho I have 100 direction. Maybe it’s because I’ve been using igneous for 3 days, but what’s your opinion on the AoS split ?

[@dougcarey2233]

@@jpmorgan6146 Thanks for asking. I find the lower aim assist hits it hard. Though I find using all the aim assist mods fixes the issue neatly, including the recoil weirdness. Flinch is still an issue, but that's to be expected. I STRONGLY suspect that there's some custom tuning going on under the Ace's hood that's influencing its behavior in spite of its stats. AoS doesn't seem to flinch so hard.

[@Dark0niro]

Hey man, just wanted to thank you for always presenting the information in such a clean way and giving the weapons you review a real test with most perks and unique combos. Always a pleasure to watch

[@Nobreza0804]

Kept Confidence is peak "It just plays nice", there's a bunch of weapons that people consider to be bad or underwhelming just play nice, I'm not that big of a fan of the Crucible, but when I got a decent roll for it, I just played for hours because it was just fun.

[@joemurray]

I was really surprised this handcannon hasn’t been getting more love. It seems very similar to austringer which is amazing. As a hunter though can’t give up the mobility from rose

[@day1player]

A similar video to this from True Vanguard about the Spare Rations.. A lot of sweaty youtubers put the videos out that it was mid so I was going to ignore it until I saw his video and breakdown and then I went all in for a roll.. I have a 4/5 Spare Rations now that I absolutely love and I'm so glad I focused that one the most. This is another one of those videos. Thank you for breaking it all down and doing the homework on everything! I'm sold, cant wait to get one crafted!

[@MonKD2]

I really like the feel of this one and maybe its the profile like you explained. I typically struggle to land shots with handcannons, even the big hitters, but this one feels great for me. Still need to craft it though

If you're running Behemoth Titan, you can use your Stasis crystals to make shards for Collective Action in the 4th column, which is a 10% damage bump to allow 2H1B kills. Not TTK altering, but free damage for more forgiveness isn't NOTHING, right?

[@solinvictus9453]

Reminds me of the Fulcrum. D1 FWC Hand Cannon. Loved that thing to death. Slim model like that might be the only reason I use it alone. Even IF the stats were drastically worse than other 140’s. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents, love the content, keep it up! :)

[@Unxinus]

Got this myself and just watching the gameplay I can feel that great feeling of shooting it, legendary hand cannon.

[@emilioalcaraz9119]

Went flawless this weekend with a random roll invisible hand/eye of the storm roll. By far the best feeling HC I’ve personally used, eyasluna being a distant second. Can’t wait to craft my KW/EOTS roll

[@johnsmart1827]

I have to agree with you about this Hand Cannon 100%. Its great for pvp, feels great, has great perks, and Killing Wind and Eye of the Storm will be the perks I will be crafting on it.Have been using one with those perks but its a stability mw, so only 63 Range. Cant wait till Reset when I will get another Red Border and i can craft it. Keep up the great work man.

Dumb question, but does sever and weaken stack with them both being debuffs? Cause we have the precision hit weaken and that would be cool with the precision sever fragment

Not sure if everyone got the same roll doing the mission but I was given a killing wind + eye. Don’t know if I need to worry about crafting it for awhile lol.

[@wesparms9189]

Running strand hunter with the maelstrom aspect. Really built into making tangles, which when thrown give this weapon 10% damage boost when using collective action. That by itself doesn't really make or break the weapon, but with AoE of tangle explosions it really does melt. That being said I haven't used eots perk at all on any hc and seem to do just fine.

[@provaricus627]

What shader is that on your Fatebringer? I’ve been trying to find one that makes it look like Imago Loop but I’m having no such luck yet.

As we edge closer and closer to peak powercreep, feel is going to be the most important deciding factor with weapons in competing archetypes. And the seasonal weapons this time around have it in spades. Especially Kept Confidence and Brya's.

I've been putting it off to play with this weapon only because I'm on the fence and haven't used it yet but I love handcannons and how they feel different from each other. I was pretty happy to see a strand 140 handcannon actually because that's my jam. But when I started hearing that the seasonal weapons were meh especially the hc I had my doubts. This video helps me get a better idea though as it's not based on "Oh it's just another 140 HC." I'm quite excited to go craft this and see if I like it or not!

[@not_parker]

The very first time I used Austringer for the first time it instantly felt great for me. Haven’t felt that instant enthusiasm for a gun since then. Until this bad boy…

Im so desperate to get this pattern. Going to go the opposite route with mine chambered/quickdraw/targetting mod. So I can get the 100 direction and the fat 5 aim assist in the grip at all times. 81 aim assist with no opening shot seems pretty low for a 140
