[b]Confidant – Exotic Handcannon[/b] FLAVOR TEXT: I have something to tell you, a secret. COSMETIC DESIGN: Eh. Didn’t have any ideas for this one. I’d appreciate yours, though! STATS: 90 impact, 56 stability, 79 range, 60 handling, 50 reload speed, 9 rounds. PERKS: Secrets (reviving a downed Guardian grants increased melee damage), Trustworthy Weapon (last three rounds of magazine deal increased damage). HOW TO EARN CATALYST: Complete a quest from Shaw Han. CATALYST: Stability increased to 65. Reload speed increased to 60. Trustworthy Weapon extends to the last four rounds. LORE: Shaw Han kneels near the Fallen corpse. He sniffs and touches some of the ether that had pooled near the head of the creature. The ether was red; someone’s blood had mixed with it. His ally. He enters the Fallen cave, marked with a Lost Sector symbol by the Vanguard. He doesn’t even glance at it as he passes. He fingers the trigger of his rifle as he advances cautiously, silently. He hears the sound of Fallen dregs further below, awaiting him. But then the shrieks are cut short by gunfire. Shaw moves more quickly now, hoping for the best and preparing his Light. More gunfire. He finally reaches the source of the sounds, and holds his rifle up at the head of a Guardian stabbing a Vandal. “Thought I’d find you here.” The Guardian—a Titan—turns to face Shaw, and throws the knife to the ground. “Didn't know you were going to be.” “Zavala knew you were here too. That’s why he sent me to the Cosmodrome.” Shaw sniffed. “He wanted us to get…reacquainted.” “Heh.” Roland Han removes his helmet, whipping short black hair out of his face. He smiles at Shaw. “Been too long, brother.” Edit: This post was less an appeal for another Handcannon and more for the lore reading as well as perk dissection. I was really surprised I got so much backlash.
