[quote]So I was doing some tests in the cosmodrome trying to compare some hand cannons to see which one is the best. And at some point I tried shooting from distance with range perk on and then without the range perk and got the same damage which would mean any range perk is absolutely useless. Did I do something wrong when testing or is this true?[/quote]
I solo'd the Nightfall last night using the Fatebringer and within 30 mins to get the Sunrise bounty.
Range on Handcannons has improved imo.
Some kills I was getting was like that of a Scout Rifle.
[quote]I don't have a fatebringer as I've never completed a raid. What perks are on that bad boy? Any range perks that you felt made a difference?[/quote]
The perks are set:

If your question is about the Range perk, I don't think it makes a difference. I've used The Lingering Song with the Range perk and a version without it. Both seemed to have simular effective range.
