In the realm of Destiny 2, I’ve just laid my hands on a fresh new Hand Cannon dubbed “Unloved.” This baby boasts a Heavy Burst, 257 RPM, and it’s all about Strand magic. It’s tailored for those who embrace the Darkness, with perks that Strand fans adore. While it shines in PvE, it’s not shy in PvP either – the Crucible crowd can find a roll that turns foes into pixelated dust.
How to get Unloved
In Destiny 2, “Unloved” is an item that drops at random from the Sundered Doctrine dungeon. It can be obtained from the initial encounter within the activity itself. Once you’ve claimed one, there’s a chance it may appear in the loot chests scattered throughout the rest of your journey.
Unloved god roll – PvP
For PvP, this underappreciated weapon configuration prioritizes perks that offer benefits in the long run. With just one opponent eliminated, you can build momentum and potentially dominate the battlefield.
| Unloved god roll – PvP | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel (Stability +5, Handling +15) |
| Magazine | High-Caliber Rounds (Shots from this weapon knock the target back further. Range +5) |
| Perk 1 | Killing Wind (Final blows grant increased mobility, weapon range, and handling for a short duration) |
| Perk 2 | Kill Clip (Reloading after a kill grants increased damage) |
| Origin Trait | Subjugation (Weapon adapts to targets. When dealing damage: To weak targets shots explode, to strong targets they become exhausted, to Guardian’s the weapon’s flinch resistance increases) |
| Masterwork | Handling (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Tactical (Reload Speed +6, Handling +6) |
For optimal performance with your Heavy Burst Hand Cannon, focusing on improving its handling is advisable. To achieve a swift and agile feel, consider equipping it with a Fluted Barrel and the Tactical mod for an 21-point boost to handling. Additionally, these modifications will enhance both stability and reload speed as well.
For the Crucible, the key benefits are Killing Wind and Kill Clip. It’s important to note that these abilities become active only after securing at least one kill first. So, if you can’t secure a kill, it won’t benefit you. But once you manage to get a kill, reload your weapon, and you’ll experience enhanced damage, improved mobility, extended weapon range, and superior handling. Continue killing and reloading to sustain this advantage.
Unloved god roll – PvE
In terms of Player versus Environment (PvE) gameplay, Strand weapons tend to excel, particularly when you’re using a Strand-focused character setup. Normally, these weapons favor Strand-specific traits, but in this case, the Unloved god roll for PvE is an exception.
| Unloved god roll – PvE | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel (Stability +5, Handling +15) |
| Magazine | Armor-Piercing Rounds (Rounds cause extra damage to combatants’ shields and overpenetrate targets. Range +5) |
| Perk 1 | Dragonfly (Precision kills create an elemental damage explosion) |
| Perk 2 | Frenzy (Being in combat for an extended time increases damage, handling, and reload for this weapon until you are out of combat) |
| Origin Trait | Subjugation (Weapon adapts to targets. When dealing damage: To weak targets shots explode, to strong targets they become exhausted, to Guardian’s the weapon’s flinch resistance increases) |
| Masterwork | Reload Speed (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Heavy Ammo Finder Enhancement |
To begin your perk choices, Fluted Barrel and Armor-Piercing Rounds enhance the gun’s stability, handling, and range for easier control. Additionally, you’ll inflict greater damage on shields and penetrate enemies more frequently, aiding in swiftly clearing out rooms.
The true excitement lies in the delightful duo of Dragonfly and Frenzy abilities. Score a precise kill, and witness the Strand detonation obliterate a cluster of enemies. Engage in combat for at least 12 seconds to activate Frenzy, enhancing your damage output, control, and reload speed.
As a gamer rocking the Strand build, you might want to peek at the Hatchling and Tear for added advantage. With those Threadlings hatching, you’ll be able to lower the damage your adversaries can dish out.
An Unloved Hand Cannon is a desirable weapon to have handy. Gather your team and work towards completing the initial encounter in Sundered Doctrine until you obtain your ideal version of it. For additional weapon suggestions, check out our Destiny 2 Tactics Guide.
