pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "This is going to be Palindrome-lite. It won’t have the same all-encompassing perk pool that made Palindrome so good in all aspects of the game. But being a void hand cannon that can take adept mods, has frenzy and alacrity can come in handy when in GMs or master content. While it’s not a direct 1:1 it can fill a hole if you missed Palindrome before it was taken from the loot pool." Recommended MW - Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Similarly, Exalted Truth will be the direct comparison in PvP [to Palindrome]. Rangefinder in the third column paired with eye of the storm will make Exalted Truth a very coveted hand cannon. This combo only rolls on a select few hand cannons. Cantata-57, Ancient Gospel, Austringer, Bottom Dollar, and now Exalted Truth. Having access to adept mods puts Exalted Truth at the top of this family and alacrity is just the cherry on top. Keep an eye out for this hand cannon come Trials." Recommended MW - Range.

What these Exalted Truth perks do

Outlaw

Frenzy

After being in Combat for 12 seconds: Grants 15% increased damage, 100 Handling, and 100 Reload Speed for 7.2 seconds. Works and can activate while stowed. Dealing and receiving damage refreshes the buff duration. For Frenzy, being in Combat is defined as having either dealt or received damage within the last 5 seconds. Self-damage and environmental damage do not count.

Outlaw

Precision Kills grant 70 Reload Speed with a 0.9x decreased Reload Animation Duration for 6 seconds. Buff is removed on stow.

Kill Clip

Finishing a reload within 3.6 seconds of a kill grants 25% increased damage for 5 seconds. Stowing the weapon removes the buff. Does not buff the Splash/Explosive damage elements of other perks.

Eye of the Storm

Grants a scaling buff to Handling and Accuracy as your Shield Health drops below 40 and reaches maximum strength at 0 Shield HP. Buff at maximum strength grants: • 30 Handling • 40% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 17% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth The buff linearly scales from 0% at 80 Shield HP to 100% at 0 Shield HP (Critical Health). It initially triggers as you drop to 40 Shield HP — giving you 50% of the maximum buff. However, as you regenerate your Shield Health, the buff will still remain until you reach 80 Shield HP where the benefits scale down to zero.

Rangefinder

Aiming Down Sights grants the following benefits: • 10 Range • 10% increased Effective Zoom • 5% increased Projectile Speed The Effective Zoom increase pushes out Aim Assist Falloff by 10%, reduces (Absolute) Recoil by 10% and narrows the Accuracy and Aim Assist Cones by the same amount. (This is the normal behavior of Zoom and isn't unique to Rangefinder)

Killing Wind

On Weapon Kill, for 5 seconds: • 50 Mobility • 40 Handling and 20 Range • 5% increased Damage Falloff Distance Additional Kills extend the duration by 5 seconds, up to 8 seconds. Buff is removed on stow.
