Handcannons

[teal crystal]

I’m trying to decide what the best hand cannon is to use for kinetic. I currently have god roll austringer i crafted, but are there better options? lmk

[sacred echo]

There's Rose for PvP, Fatebringer from VoG, and Seventh Seraph Revolver. I wouldn't say any of them are better than Austringer though, just sidegrades

[halcyon trail]

If ur talking pvp then no. Pve timelost fatebringer but double special is too good rn to use FB over it

[teal crystal]

speaking of double special, what would you recommend? like on my starfire lock just witherhoard and say a trace rifle?

[summer torrent]

I thought a time lost 5/5 fate bringer was better than austringer?

[sacred echo]

I would call it preference. I think outlaw/rampage is just fine on Austringer, but Explosive payload/whatever is good on fatebringer

Then only real advantage would be adept mods

[halcyon trail]

Witherhoard/izanagis/conditional finality + a trace or forebearance is the way to go 4 sure

[cloud cobalt]

no where have i seen said ace of spades -> yea try this one

[frozen orbit]

It's simply preference. Explosive payload flinch on the enemy is hella nice. I prefer timelost fatebringer / rose over crafted austringer

[summer torrent]

Ok.

I guess it is preference then coz I’ve never liked explosive payload in pvp

Doesn’t feel as smooth as hitting them 70 three taps

on my starfire lock I never take off my leas from gold hollowed denial and witherhoard

I run other half for most content but swap it out for a bit more serious content

[tribal nimbus]

Rose, fatebringer, austringer are the best hc kinetics. If you’re into 120’s you should go for a true prophecy or round robin or whatever its called

For exotics, hawkmoon, thorn, and ace are the bis for exotics

Another good choice^^

Although i dont like the gun because its not a kinetic with explosive payload like in d1 (my favorite d1 hc)

[teal crystal]

i’ve started to do this and i love it, i do lead to gold and repulsor brace. Do you recommend running heavy ammo finder or special ammo finder though?

[jade shuttle]

I really have never ran into issues with heavy or special ammo

witherhoard has a ton of reserves so I never feel like im out of ammo

double special is also bugged and drops more heavy ammo

so you basically have infinite heavy ammo

but at the same time since you have lead from gold on your hollowed denial its infinite special ammo

so I dont recommend heavy or special ammo finder

[teal crystal]

oh interesting okay, well i appreciate your input

[teal crystal]

i do have one last question, im crafting it and i am leveled up enough to get enhanced and masterworks etc, but not sure what to get for masterwork/barrel/battery

never used trace rifles before tbh so i don’t have a preference myself, just wanna hear what people who crafted/use one like and what i should craft it with

other than the 3/4 column perks, im already gonna do lead to gold and repulsor brace

[jade shuttle]

enhanced battery corkscrew rifling

[teal crystal]

masterwork?

[jade shuttle]

uh i think i did range

it doesnt show but i have 81 range

so im pretty sure thats masterworked

if not i probably did reload speed

[teal crystal]

gotcha yea that would be range masterwork then, thank you!

[unreal cosmos]

Smoothest and nicest feeling hc in the game

[halcyon trail]

Double special isn’t bugged necessarily. Back in vanilla d2 before we had infinite primary, using 2 specials reduced the ammo pool (no kinetic would drop) and therefore you would get more heavy

It’s an unremoved feature that will probably never get removed

[jade shuttle]

they said they fixed it back in one of the patches but didnt do anything, its not an intended feature

[summer torrent]

I have 130 something clears and still don’t have the roll I want

[summer flume]

what roll u want

i got pep motion and moving target and i dont think i have atleast 10 clears

wait i got 15 clears

thought clears meant doing whole thing fresh

[summer torrent]

That’s my rolli got but I want specific barrels mags and master work

I want range finder instead of moving target

[summer torrent]

Nope

[summer torrent]

I literally have everything I want tho on this roll except rangefinder

[unreal cosmos]

Rangefinder is beautiful

I managed to get a 5/5 matador and day later I got a 5/5 eyasluna with moving target rangefinder and range mw
