Rangefinder recently had a huge change announced where it would no longer give range, but rather accuracy, aim assist and stability. Some Hand Cannons are going to greatly benefit from the change, True Prophecy being the most notable :)

For whatever reason bungie didn’t have the rangefinder change in the last TWAB, but this information is coming from the DCP Live Firing Range podcast for anyone wondering :)
Seems a weird change, some weapons struggle even with rangefinder and unless they buff the stats on them a lot they might as well remove them from the game.
@@brettkeegan45 100% agree not sure why they would just give it an actual stat increase to range now that the zoom factor doesn’t matter.
For those of you who dont have a good true prophesy (like me) the Bottom Dollar from gambit is very similar. Yeah sure its in the energy slot, but Bottom Dollar can also get slidshot, surplus, rapid hit, EOTS, its got a stacked perk pool. The stats are also pretty similar, except that bottom dollar uses barrel perks instead of sights.
I got one with arrowhead accurized slideshot accurized and it feels great!
accuracy is a good buff tbh. I like this change
I'll take it.
People are gonna regret saying rangefinder needed a "nerf", once they realize explosive payload's usage increases by an ever greater margin.
As long as the range changes to hand cannons capping at 40 also bump the base range of all hand cannons up 3m I’d be happy
Range finder isn’t actually being changed, the changes you listed are already on rangefinder, Merc stated that those effects were what the extra zoom from rangefinder actually already does, so basically RF will just no longer increase range.
There’s zero chance they don’t increase those effects though, if it stays the same it will be the worst perk in the game. Bungie messes a lot of things up, but I don’t they’d mess this up THAT bad
@@Gravlyy I agree, I was personally hoping that they would just remove the zoom increase and make it increase falloff distance by 5% effectively “nerfing” it but not making it an insane power creep of a perk choice
@@Plaguings this won't work. No one is using it for the extra zoom. We all use it for the extra range fall off primarily.
@@swarlly I agree. On some guns the extra zoom actually makes it feel worse at closer ranges, especially when you have to shoot a hunter strafing at the speed of light. 😂

I just dusted off my rangefinder explosive from my vault. Im definitely gunna start using it and getting ready for next season thank you for the break down. It really helped me understand what to expect!
I have a god roll rangefinder/explosive payload bottom dollar. The only thing it really lacked was stability. It had way too much range tbh, and would gladly give some up for a more stable weapon. Can’t wait for this change and pair that bottom dollar with a fractethyst
I luv your commentary bro, shi is so funni
I have the same Eyasluna.
You're hella good with the true prophecy
I never liked Eyasluna in the first place and I'm not sure why. I'd much rather use something like Palindrome. For me to be able to enjoy using a handcannon i have to have buttloads of stability, and since i run void, anything with elemental capacitor feels great to me. Igneous was always my favorite other than Pali, but recently i got a perfect roll of Crisis Inverted and i think it's my favorite so far.
Rangefinder already does this. Just having higher zoom increases accuracy, stability, reduces visual recoil, increases aim assist fall off, AND increases overall range. They’re removing the range benefits and leaving everything else. Rangefinder will still be strong, and higher zoom weapons will still have all of those other benefits.
I literally have that loadout for mine, except mine is timed payload lol. Nice.
🥳 Wonderful weapon! Certainly in a team shotting scenario. Deadly
I have the exact same true prophecy roll 😈
Never used rangefinder for that 140 I use heating up and snap shot at its better then my rf roll
Heating up is nastyyy, such an underrated perk imo
ayy i got some roll
anyone know what the helmet hes using is called?
Frostveil mask
I got a 5/5 rose so i’ll take it. The stability is kinda ehh. Still reaches out to touch enemy guardians so in fine with it
I can't wait for handcannon meta to return
I can.
been using mine for soooooo long now
I wonder if my DFA is going to feel better than guns like Austringer and Eyasluna? It has 95 range with fragile focus active and timed payload.
DFA will be an absolute beast
@@Gravlyy it will be great to see some of meta weapons rise to the top.
Thank god.i habe plenty of god rolls of. Dfa
Doesn’t rangefinder only push out range to about 3 more meters?
Yup, but not anymore thanks to bungie
Iyo, do you think that rangefinder will still be a S tier perk? Being that it still gives magnification & stability
We are gonna have to see. Personally i will probably stop using it in favor of things like explosive payload and better accuracy perks such as EOTS, but i might keep a few HCs around with rangefinder.
I think for certain guns (more specially 120s) it will be crazy good cause they come with low stability and aim assist. For other HCs that relied on RF it won’t really be worth using anymore. So in some cases it will be S, in others it’ll be kind of mid
@@Gravlyy hm okay. I went & farmed a new eyasluna, hitmark, ricochet rounds, rapid hit, moving target, range mw (71) range (74 stab) that will be decent huh?
@@Gravlyy thats a very good point. For me, the aim assist on 120s being low doesn’t bother me, but the stability bonus will be super nice. For a while i had a ton of trouble using round robin because it had lower stability. I got over it for the most part, but i still have trouble using it. My worry is that things like Austringer will be significantly worse. I think yours is crafted with Zen Moment, but i went for rangefinder because i wanted that range. Maybe it will be ok when they change the ranges of each weapon type, but i might switch to a rose with explosive rounds over my austringer until then. Its really a big guessing game right now tho. Im really hoping that they dont pull a Bungo on us and say that they are going to make this great balance change, but then just nerf something into the ground. I want rangefinder to still be good, seeing as i have a crap ton of weapons (not just hand canons, like literally everything) that use rangefinder.
95 range bottom dollar rangefinder explosive or slide shot explosive! Please do a vid. Pulses, autos and hand cannons will have a 40 meter cap, all range stats are the same on them now
yo i remember the days pre-120 nerf where my fav bottom dollar with RF + Opening shot would hit 80s pure HS on 52.4m i shit you NOT. 11k kills on that bad boy... missing the 120/shotty meta. Best pvp season by far
If range stat doesn't affect range and everything is set horrors lease will be back
Agg smgs are going to be more powerful than they are now
Can't wait for my 90 range, killing wind, eots exalred truth adept to dominate in the crucible even more than it does haha
my rose gonna be so broken
Anything with RF is gonna feel so good. It sucks for HCs that only had RF to push out their range tho
5 out of 5 ? My Range Finder/ Range MW, accurized rounds / Rampage roll says hi 👋
Bel video, mi è piaciuto
Its a good thing, Rangefinder needed to go, I would have gone even further by completely remove it like they did with Quickdraw on shotguns.. Rangefinder is an unbalanced perk that ruins perk diversity.. I have many amazing rolls in my vault that I kept hoping someone would do something about Rangefinder.. I’m especially thinking about my Eyasluna with sureshot/ricochet/rapid hit/moving target and range mw.. it feels absolutely amazing BUT it gets damage falloff at 31.5m while Austringer and Pali can maintain the same stats and reach more than 35m all becoz of 1 perk.. good change bye bye Rangefinder and long life to all our underdogs that will be able to bark in crucible soon
Where did Bungie announce this?
It was on the DCP live podcast, aztecross mentioned it in his video as well
Ohh thank you! Great video btw :)
they need to change the name of rangefinder, its not rangefinder anymore
Any time bottom dolar ❤
in what way will eyasluna not be one of the best hand cannons💀
Any HC that relied on RF is going to get inherently worse because it’s not going to have the range increase anymore. Eyasluna also rolls with sights instead of barrels which also makes it harder to build into range without nuking your other stats. It will still feel great within its range, but it will get beat by HCs with explosive, slideshot and higher range packages. If you want the Eyasluna feel, austringer is going to be a better option
@@Gravlyy makes sense tho i have a 75 range one with perfect other stats im a huge eyasluna fan tho, but yes i agree slideshot explosive are my top two perks aswell so it will be outclassed. love your vids tho man ❤️
@@Gravlyy still love eyasluna tho and its still a top hc imo just me tho
@@croad4792 it should still be good for sure, maybe even the best within its range tbh.
@@Gravlyy true true it just feels so damn nice idk why if only it had explosive slideshot
Let's be honest! It's really stupid to call something Rangefinder if it doesn't effect range lol
bottom dollar?
I use a perpetual headstone eyasluna so I think you’re over reacting
