pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Yesterday's Question is Tomorrow's Answer. Am I going to repeat that with our next weapon? You bet your butt! This hand cannon is interesting with Dragonfly in the third column allowing for boosted damage into Desperate Measures or more chaining with Voltshot. You can have the energy equivalent of Warden's Law with Fourth Time's the Charm and Vorpal Weapon even with the reduced efficiency on Lucky Pants builds." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Heavy Burst hand cannons haven't been the strongest in PvP and with recent buffs they still feel like they're missing something. A push too far in one direction or another could make them instantly top hand cannons or completely irrelevant, I don't know what Bungie wishes to do. What felt best to me was a combination of Rapid Hit and Zen Moment, when I hit crits the gun felt so smooth." Recommended MW: Range or Stability.

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.1.5.1

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.1.5.1 (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): PvE pick use against bulky Minor and Major enemies in general, and end-game underleveled content. Yesterday's Questions has a lot of caveats for PvE - it's a Trials of Osiris reward so not very accessible, the rolls are mainly PvP focussed, and it doesn't really offer anything new if you already have a Voltshot hand cannon. At base the stats are good - 63 Range equates to 32.51m when ADS and 21.67m hipfire, 34 Handling is 0.38s ready, 0.28s ADS and 0.41s stow speed, while the Reload Speed of 31 is a 2.92s reload. It feels a lot better with help for Handling in the barrel perk. Voltshot relies on reload speed to proc and use, so Flared Magwell provides the biggest boost, or Light Mag slightly less. There's only one trait perk that helps with reload, and that's Rapid Hit. With luck and a following wind, reload speed could be as low as 1.70s so Voltshot doesn't run out to time to be procced. If you run the Synergy mod to general Ionic Traces to become amplified, that'll also help with reloads too. Either origin trait can work - Alacrity if you're running a solo activity to boost all your gunfeel stats, or One Quiet Moment for faster reloads when out of combat. Recommended MW: Reload Speed with a Backup Mag mod or, when enhanced, a Synergy mod to generate Ionic traces or Stunloader when an artifact mod's around.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
