pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "This is probably the best timeline the Ikelos hand cannon has seen but it is still underwhelming. Precision frame hand cannons do not do enough damage in PvE to warrant use outside out bounties or low-level PvE. They just simply don’t scale well enough for my tastes. Frenzy and subsistence will help a ton but even with all the benefits they still underperform. Golden tricorn will give you the maximum benefits with a void subclass. Good luck with this gun." Recommended MW - Reload.

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 44. Backup PvE roll for end-game add clear. Shapeable. The Rasputin's Arsenal origin trait reloads on a shield break, which should save on a few reloads. Precisions aren't the strongest choice for PvE as at Season 19 v6.3.0.2, and the Ikelos HC's stats are pretty bad across the board, but there are a few combinations that are still interesting. Fill in some of the stat gaps in Handling and Range with your barrel, and then with the combined goodness of Armor-Piercing, High-Caliber and Ricochet Rounds, Seraph Rounds is a clear first choice in the mag. For end-game add clear, use a little of column one to fill out the stat gaps, and then a bit of column two to boost your damage (and with OFA and Frenzy, help your stats even more). Recommended MW: Range or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, Controller, M+KB

To make the most of your Void 3.0 toolkit, use Golden Tricorn in the second column to get a 50% damage boost at two stacks (one stack is not bad - it's still as good a Frenzy). Back in the first column, Well Rounded provides stat boosts as you gain the second GT stack, or any of the other magazine extending/reload speed boosting traits keep you firing.

Even though you're using about 25% of your magazine to proc SOFA (Stats/One for All), the stat boosts to round everything out and 35% damage boost are well worth it for add-clear.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Precision frame hand cannons did get a slight buff recently. They are consistent but just as underwhelming in PvP. I cannot undervalue their easy recoil control, but they are outclassed in almost all other aspects. Rapid hit will make shooting a breeze, and rampage is enough to 3-crit up to 9 resilience." Recommended MW - Range.
