An old friend returns... The Shadow Price (reply)

I've been having loads of fun running Shadow Price + Secret handshake + Thunderlord in crucible. Works great as both gunslinger and blade dancer (which I hot swap depending on the size of the level).

Oh, I know. ;) But thanks for the heads-up on its stats! :) (reply)

Spray and Play
Counterbalance / Field Scout
Third Eye

I've loved this gun for the entire time I've had it. Fatebringer replaced it as my go to, but I could never shard it.

I wish I hadn't sharded it. :( (reply)

I'll keep my eye out for it (reply)

It's been a long time since I've last used a scout other than VoC, but I remember loving A1.alphabetsoup so much...

True, my first etheric light was spent on this... (reply)

I didn't have the vendor one. This was possibly my first ever Legendary weapon drop from vanguard lvl 3. I got Red Dot OAS sight, final round, iridium rounds, explosive rounds, and outlaw. It doesn't have firefly, but that's what fatebringer is for afterall. ;) Outlaw is great with it, a fantastic perk for scout rifles in general. Final round is great for those clip-emptying fights. I still do very well in the vault with this gun, it's a great fit.

Gheleon's demise is basically the same stats as the A.1F, so if you miss it, hit crucible for one. Though you won't be able to quite get the same rolls, some of the new perks would be good with it as well. Mixed bag I guess.

Truth! (reply)

So you just never bought them? They were for sale, man! (reply)

Now I'm thinking this may actually be the vendor version? Whatever, either way it's the king.

Just get a Fulcrum with rifled barrel (reply)

Only 8 shots, but otherwise the stats are the same.

The stats aren't the same when you pick your perks though, and that is the crucial difference.

Nope (reply)

The perks on the vendor Devil you know, including send it, are what make it great. You cannot match those stats with the tradeoff perks of today. You cannot get range without giving up stability or reload. You cannot get 12 shots and still match the stats. It's close, but not in the same class.

Devil You Know is great because:

1. It has 12 shots.
2. It has insane range with send it.
3. High stability plus Zen Moment and crowd control.

More than any other hand cannon, you can tear through mobs in PvE by landing critical after critical. In PvP, it is similarly very good at long range. More stable than a send it Thorn, and as much range.

So you just never bought them? They were for sale, man! (reply)

Cody Miller — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 07:25:53 +0000

I never bought TDYK and it still haunts me at night.

Probably the best legendary non elemental hand cannon, for both PvE and PvP. At least in my opinion. Some of the newer ones do specific things better, but this is wonderful overall.

Funny you should say that. Shadow Price is the other old weapon I've been saving for ascension. It'll be coming out to play soon.

Still hanging on to Lord High Fixer (reply)

My 365 Shadow Price is a beast in all game modes. I'm so glad Etheric Light made it effective again.

Have one! (reply)

ChrisTheeCrappy — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 03:41:54 +0000

The aim assist is insane. SO good.

The Vanguard one was amazing (reply)

ZackDark — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 03:02:32 +0000

I don't even remember the perks, tbh, but simply Firefly was a beast with it.

Yeah, I know attack changes don't make weapons useless, but it just bothered me that it wasn't going to perform as well as before.

Not anymore, though. I ran a level 32 HoW story mission after ascending it last night, and it tore them apart. It wasn't even like it did "pretty well." It was a massacre.

I think this is the only legacy gun I still have. (reply)

I bought the vendor version, but got this one as a random drop later, and I liked the perks a little better.
