pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Stability. Aggressive(120) Strand Hand Cannon Primary Ammo. "In PvE Subsistence with Golden Tricorn will be your bread and butter for never ending shooting and a huge damage buff. This works with a build that ability loops by itself like Heart of Inmost Light. If you can keep up Golden Tricorn 2x constantly you will have an incredibly high damage hand cannon. Envious Assassin is an interesting perk as you’ll need to swap off your primary to get kills to overflow your magazine to swap back to your primary. If you are running double primary weapons in higher end content or just like to switch up weapons for clearing rooms you will love this perk. However, I just find it odd to need to swap off your primary to overflow your primary."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload. Aggressive(120) Strand Hand Cannon Primary Ammo. "What a happy little surprise to bless my smol paws. I don’t have to grind Moon bounties to get a Kill Clip 120? And it’s craftable for all those bonuses and longer Kill Clip? I love it! Keep Away is an incredible perk on 120s as they unusually duel on the end of hand cannon ranges. Killing Wind is also great paired with Kill Clip. You could also opt for Opening Shot for maximum range on that first shot or as a clean up from a long range sniper body shot."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast Versus Enemies episode 54 with @CourtProjects, @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3obSAgsEW0RBeSjYXOVcgN?si=95ac723a75f749c3). First-choice PvE roll for Strand synergy in general content. Shapeable. Our first Strand Hand Cannon. Middling stats by comparison with other Aggressive Frames - prioritise handling and stability with your barrel and mag to improve gunfeel. You should be engaging enemies at a decent range so Keep Away boosts range, accuracy and reload speed, or Subsistence will keep your mag topped up. In the second trait column Hatchling spawns a Threadling on crit kills to play with, and lets you tap into Strand fragments, and the Nanotech Tracer Rockets add both damage and flinch when you proc them - really fun for PvE. Recommended MW: Handling, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB

Datto's Thoughts, Round Robin is a strand, 120 RPM hand cannon. We have a lot of new perks with Lightfall and arguably one of the top rolls on this gun consists of 2 new perks: Keep Away and Hatchling. Keep Away is the opposite of Threat Detector, you get bonus stats when there is NOTHING near you, minus allies. Hatchling is where precision final blows or rapid non-precision kills spawn a Threadling at the target's location. In the first column, we have soem good stuff, Keep Away, Subsistence and Envious Assassin, another good perk, where rapidly killing targets with other guns will transfer ammo into this gun from reserves and this can overflow the magazine. At the moment, I feel like this is much more of a special weapon type perk, but I wouldn't begrudge you for using it as we feel it out. The second column has Hatchling, Kill Clip and Golden Tricorn. Golden Tricorn is definitely a bit better of a pick now thanks to 3.0 subclasses and the general up time you can have on grenades and melees nowadays. I think Hatchling is quite popular right now because it's new and it links up with Strand and there are Strand fragments to buff Threadlings, so if it fits with your build, it is certainly worth a try. Threadlings WILL proc Golden Tricorn if they are from Threadling Grenade. This gun just kicks pretty hard, it's a 120 so that makes sense, so I'm gonna be going with stability based minor perks and masterwork. I have heard good things about this gun in PvP with Keep Away and Kill Clip, but I have not tested it myself just yet. Again, it does kick pretty hard. pve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlV7QZ5P0Mk&t=43s
