Brigand's Law god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “I love me some 450 sidearms, they are goofy and fun. Brigand's Law is no exception to that rule. With surrounded and feeding frenzy or threat detector you will be right up in the mix of things and getting that nice damage off. Definitely take this into a GM and let me know how it handles. Jokes aside, this sidearm is pure ecstasy, nothing less. Fun but not ideal in any serious content.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Arc Sidearm Primary Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Stability] "Brigand's Law is fantastic. The Blunderbuss styling on a pocket-sized sidearm, the perk package including Threat Detector or Hip-Fire Grip, Enhanced Surrounded Spec going up to a 47% damage buff, then Voltshot which is simply phenomenal on this weapon type. Always invest MASSIVELY into Stability on Sidearms - Range quite simply does not matter for damage falloff. Is it Forbearance, or Trinity Ghoul? No. But hopefully, if we move back to a world where Primary weapons matter again, this is definitely in my backpack and ready for action." tags:pve

pandapaxxy (PvP Controller): Recommended MW: Range “In PvP you can make Brigand's Law feel powerful. Rangefinder or adagio can make either the first or the second kill feel fantastic. With threat detector you will know the extent of your range, but these sidearms melt within their intended ranges.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Arc Sidearm Primary Ammo)

Inspired by DMB Podcast 275 conversation with Gleaux. The Origin Perk is aimed at CQC, so should be useful here. Shapeable. Rapid-fire sidearms have competitive TTK as at v6.2.0.6, and the stats compare well in the slot but it's hard to look past Drang if you're thinking about energy sidearms. Range is really constrained in sidearms, so you could add an extra 0.75m or boost handling or stability with your barrel and mag. With the traits, lean into an aggressive playstyle and shape a kill-chaining weapon with Hip-Fire Grip to improve hip-fire performance, or Threat Detector or Perpetual Motion to add to your gunfeel stats in the first trait column, and your choice of Swashbuckler or Surrounded, both of which can reduce your TTK dramatically when fully procced in the second. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Freehand Grip mod.
