pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Bold Endings and by extension Warden's Law don't really fit in any particular play style. They have good range, good chunk damage, but behave more like a pulse rifle / Crimson. They're not bad but take away one of hand cannon’s strongest benefits, peek shooting. If you want to use this competitively, you'll want as consistent of a hand cannon as.possible. Rapid Hit and Eye of the Storm add much needed consistency, while To the Pain can pair well with Eye of the Storm for maximum AA / accuracy bonuses." Recommended MW: Stability ornHandling.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "The first in a nice long list of new weapons is Bold Endings. A newish archetype being the heavy burst archetype, only occupied by Warden's Law. Bold Endings has the unique combination of Headstone and Dragonfly to immediately blow up those crystals. Great for add clear. Other solid options include Rapid Hit for reload speed and a tighter burst at max stacks, Strategist for immediate stability on class ability usage, and getting your class ability faster. Alongside Desperate Measures for great damage. Headstone with a damage perk or more AoE is probably going to be the play." Recommended MW: Stability or Handling.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 106 from 18 June 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0GYlriUxhFqNHGLqb84C1G?si=bb5a2c9b339d4c35) with @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr. First-choice PvE pick for add-clearing Minor Spec enemies in general content, particularly when using Stasis fragments. Shapeable. There aren't many comparators for Bold Endings - the good news is that the base stats are great, but the bad news is that they're still not very good, with stability, handling and reload speed all low so, although it's hard-hitting, it feels a bit clunky. Use the barrel and magazine perks to fill in the gaps. If you're using Stasis-friendly subclass fragments to support your build, you should be able to create plenty of crystals with Headstone in the first trait column and generate shards that you can use to proc Collective Action's +20% damage boost. The Dealer's Choice origin trait is nice to have (who doesn't love more super energy?) - with two or three Pale Heart weapons, you'll notice the difference! Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

This roll is a speculative one, if you drop one, If you're using Stasis-friendly subclass fragments to support your build, you should be able to create plenty of crystals with Headstone in the first trait column to work with to proc fragments, and Demolitionist in the second column is always handy on a primary weapon to keep your grenade ability charged.
