[quote]I've played a decent amount of destiny, especially crucible. With that being said I'm a pulse rifle kind of guy. I've been doing the hand cannon bounties (it's been brutal on my k/d) and I recently got a finnala's peril and I love it. It doesn't have the typical "god roll" perks for range but it came with outlaw, explosive rounds, and luck in the chamber. But bad sights. I have the vender Pali (as well as others) and I've never liked it. I like the imago loop and Luna but I get the most ridiculously horrible rolls. So for my questions: - how's my roll on my finnala's peril? dam that's nice outlaw and expolsive is super useful in pve, not sure if peril is correct archetype try it out, it needs to be on a similar type to say eysvana or imago or fate bringer imp. - is finnala's peril decent in pvp currently? No idea not a pvp person lol. - does finnala's peril fall in a particular type of HC category? It seems unique but I'm a HC noob[/quote] each handcanon has an archetype but idk what peril is

Before we start mentioning perks, any 81 Impact Handcannons that has an adequate default Range stat are viable as they are roughly the same. There are five Handcannons that are roughly the same and when maxed with Rifled/Reinforced Barrel... Palindrome 62, Eyasluna 62, Imago Loop 62, Finala's Peril 61, Lord High Fixer 59. The only reason why The Palindrome is so prominent is because everybody was given a God Roll on a silver platter negating any grind to obtain a God Roll elsewhere. Your Finala's is decent. But when everyone is specking their Handcannons for Rifled Barrel and Rangefinder you may want to do so likewise by using a Palindrome or another godly rolled Handcannon that you obtained elsewhere, if any.

Explosive Rounds' damage ticks twice. Once for the bullet impact and a second for the explosive. The bullet has damage fall off; the explosives do not have damage fall off. So in a way explosive rounds is a great substitute for rifled barrel. [spoiler]Added bonus, you can shot the ground around corners and deal splash damage with Explosive Rounds.[/spoiler] Outlaw has always been a great perk and paired with Hand Cannon Reloader on your gauntlets, makes it even stronger. Luck In The Chamber is great perk. Extra damage when you're least expecting it is always nice. Personally, what I look for is the following (in order of importance, for PvP): -TrueSight/SureShot (As long as I get one of those, I'm good) -Range Finder/Outlaw/Spray and Play/Icarus -Rifled Barrel/Explovise Rounds/Reinforced Barrel/Hand Laid Stock -Hidden Hand/Luck In The Chamber While your roll isn't the proverbial "God Roll", it is still a good roll.

I've had a few Finnala's since it first came out (including 2 from quartermaster bounties recently) and the only one I've kept is what probably looks like a garbage roll - Quickdraw/Fastdraw/Steadyhand, Exhumed, Explosive Rounds or Hammer Forged, Life Support. Had it since early in TTK and I still love it, there's just something about the feel of it, but only in PvE for me. PvP is where I supply other players KD's with fuel. Keep yours, enjoy it while you can.

That's a PvE hand cannon (with those rolls). Mid tier impact with explosive rounds do work in raids.

That is still a good roll, not godly, but your chances of getting another FP from a Crucible bounty are slim, so I'd keep it and use it My Timur's Lash (Y1 IB HC) had Explosive Rounds + LiTC and it was a beast. I once killed two Guardians with one bullet on Exodus Blue

don't listen to everyone saying its not that good, explosive rounds gives you crazy range with little to no damage drop off.

I prefer sureshot to quickdraw, and without a range perk in the middle, it lacks the range to be really good, but LiTC can always swing some fights your way.

[quote]- how's my roll on my finnala's peril?[/quote] Unfortunately, it's not the best roll. If you are able to get lucky, you would want a roll similar to my Hunter's roll (I'll leave it equipped, if you'd like to check it out for reference). The sight you have is not bad by any means. Since you seem to be asking for PvP related Rifled Barrel is really the only option that makes the range consistent. You can make due with the roll since it seems to work for you, but just be aware that you will have a bit of a harder time with your ranged shots against Pali and Luna with your current roll. In the end though, it really does come down to your personal preference, we can give you optimal perks, but it's how it feels for you that's the most important. [quote]- is finnala's peril decent in pvp currently?[/quote] Absolutely! It's one of the best HC's. I'm pretty much the same as you re palindrome and I can't get a good luna for nothing, and the few I have, I'm not fond of the recoil pattern. With my Finnela's Peril, it's literally the only HC I'll ever use in PvP effectively. [quote]- does finnala's peril fall in a particular type of HC category? It seems unique but I'm a HC noob[/quote] Same archtype as Palindrome and Eyasluna.
