Idea to buff Lucky Pants exotic
Lucky pants are good because they do exactly what they say they do (some other exotics like Stompees clearly havent gotten the memo there) Theyre "good", but not great. The accuracy and reload speed are must-haves for handcannons, and the swap speed buff is great if youre double-running handcannons like Guns A-cayde-o (bad puns are best puns) However they lack a bit of utility because they just dont hit very hard unless youre CONSTANTLY swapping between 2 handcannons. To buff them a bit, [b]Lucky Pants should grant all handcannons the Luck in the Chamber perk[/b]

1 ReplyI'll say it: no. I love hand cannons, they were my favorite weapons in D1, hands down, and I had a lot of success with them. In D2, they are pretty good in PvE, downright awful in PvP. So step one should be doing something to hand cannons to even make them a viable PvP option when compared to 450 ARs, 180-200 rpm scouts, and side arms / smgs. Currently, each one of those eclipses them in PvP. Then we can figure out something to do with the Lucky Pants. Luck in the Chamber is not a good option, however. Giving every HC a basically 1/10 chance of having a reasonable TTK is not a good or great option. Add on to that the fact that I (and many others) are violently opposed to any type of RNG factor winning or losing gun fights, and it becomes a bad idea. Something needs to be done to make these in any way better than the Knucklehead, but I don't personlly think this is it. Or that it matters until the global gun type balance is refactored, to be perfectly honest.
