Substance perk

I got myself a pretty damn good Spare Rations hand cannon this morning. I was very excited. I've easily had 20+ pulse rifles, ARs, SMGs, snipers and shotguns but only 2 spare rations after 90+ tier 3 reckonings and many gambit prime games. The first one was the most terrible roll imaginable. The one I got today has High Caliber rounds or Ricochet rounds and Swashbuckler with a range masterwork. That's a God roll or very close to one anyways. But the other perk was Substance which took a bit of wind out of my excitement sail. Substance just isnt worth using on Hand Cannons. The trade off isnt bad. Less ammo but as long as you get kills you never have to reload. Sounds ok. Problem is on a hand cannon with an armor piece with hand cannon reserves only has 51 shots. Which means ammo is a constant issue. The way substance works makes sense for special weapons and heavy weapons but not on primary weapons. You should always have primary ammo and you should never have to worry about primary ammo. I think when it comes to primary weapons, the substance perk needs adjusting. I think the perk should remain how it currently is but the cost of your reserve ammo should not be so severe. Especially on a hand cannon. Please take another at the perk possibly make some changes. I should be very happy about the roll I got on my spare rations but substance kind of kills it.

  • Substance makes the most sense on primary weapons [i]because[/i] you don't normally need to worry about reserve ammo.

  • Subsistence is actually really decent if you are agressive and mainly a pvp thing horrible for pve. I wasn't fortunate to get high cal like you were but i did get rampage and subsistence like i wanted. Swashbuckler/subsistence is very godlike and opens up the mod options, i didn't even know it could get that. With these perks and this gun ypu pretty much have a thorn that is not only able to have mods but ultimately no bloom. I would count your blessings at least in the pvp department but of you want to use it in both go for rangefinder instead of subsistence.
