Steady Hand In-Depth Review
Hi Guardians welcome back for another destiny in-depth review where I review exotics and legendary gear in order to give you a comprehensive understanding of the gear so you can play this game as efficient and effective as possible.
Today we are going to review the Iron Banner Hand Cannon the Steady Hand. This can be earned during the iron banner event by handing in your Iron Banner tokens at Lord Saladin and you will have chance on getting the Steady Hand too.
The steady hand is an high impact low rate of fire hand cannon that sits in the 110 Rounds per minute archetype like the Future War Cult True Prophecy , the Bad News and the exotic hand cannon the sturm.
The Steady hand has the aggressive frame, Truesight, hitmark and the cross fire sight. Flared Magwell optimized for fast reloading , alloy magazine faster reload when the mag is empty and outlaw where precision kills greatly reduces the reload time.
As with any high impact hand cannon the strength of this gun is the high impact and high range, this is compensated by a below average stability and handling when you compare this with the the mid impact hand cannon like the better devils.
The high impact hand cannon also suffers from a slow reload and that is where the Steady Hand shines, it has a wide variety of reload increasing perks. You can opt for Flared Magwell for that base increase in reload speed or Alloy Magazine where you get a faster reload when the mag is empty, I prefer consistency with a hand cannon and thus I prefer to use Flared Magwell. The final perk outlaw supplements this by giving you a fast reload when you have a precision kill.
So as a result you can completely negate the weakness of a typical high impact hand cannon which is the reload speed. And thus you only have to worry about the stability and handling speed. That is why I use Truesight to bump up the stability and handling, the stability is still lower than average but with an high impact hand cannon the rate of fire is so slow that your reticle will naturally fall back in place by the time you shoot another bullet.
So now you have an high risk high reward hand cannon with one of the fastest time to kill in the game of 1.07 seconds with 3 headshots, however if you miss an headshot your optimum time to kill is drastically lowered to 2.13 seconds with 5 body shots.
So you will need to hit all of your headshots in order to get to that magical 1.07 seconds time to kill, so this gun will reward an high skilled guardian.
A downside of this gun is the low mag size , it only has 8 bullets in the mag, which does not offer you a lot of room to go for multiple kill streak. With one mag you will at most have two kills and then you will need to reload or switch to another weapon to continue your fight.
That is where outlaw can help this gun a lot by giving you a fast reload when you have a precision kill.
In Pve that is where outlaw shines even more, the high impact of this gun allows you to easily one hit most of the enemies and it is quite easy to get outlaw proc most of the time.
Combine this with an auto rifle in your energy slot and your favorite power weapon and you have a great PVE loadout.
However also here the low mag size of 8 is very frustrating since it interrupts your kill streak and you will have to go through the long reload animation when you do not proc outlaw.
And the ability to one hit most of the enemies does not only apply to high impact hand cannons, but also the faster firing ones like the better devils or sunshot they all comes with an higher mag size and have the ability to one hit lower level ads.
In Pvp the faster firing hand cannons are much more forgiving , the Steady hand's time to kill is drastically lowered when you miss a headshot, whereas the optimum time to kill of the faster firing hand cannon is only slightly lower at 1.2 seconds versus the steady hand of 1.07 seconds, but they can do so with only 2 headshots and 2 body shots, whereas the steady hand needs 3 headshots.
So whether you are using this hand cannon in Pvp or PVE in both cases the faster firing hand cannons is the better choice in terms of efficiency, consistency and reliability.
Although the Steady Hand does has those reload speed increasing perks to make up for his weakness it is not enough to choose this hand cannon over a Better Devil's, Dire Promise or Annual Skate. I am going to give the Steady Hand Hand Cannon a C.
