The Good

Timur’s Lash has two qualities many hand cannon users desire: High accuracy and massive punch.

This hand cannon occupies the Impact and accuracy apex, with the highest Impact of all hand cannons and the highest Range (only behind the HoW raid hand cannon).

If you have your wit about you and a steady hand, you will keep opponents at bay with ease. If you don’t miss your shots with this deadly weapon, you’ll only need a few.

There is no question about it, with the right perks, this hand cannon is as good as it gets in PvP. Similar to Gheleon’s Demise, it has found an intense combat sweet spot and sticks by it. There’s really no major drawbacks, unless you happen to get a version with perks you don’t like.

Because of the base magazine size it probably won’t be best for most PvE scenarios, but it’ll certainly take down enemies quickly with precision shots.

The Bad

Although this weapon has no major flaws, it comes with an extremely slow rate of fire that usually plagues most hard hitting hand cannons.

Unfortunately, there are also serious balance compensations for this weapon’s Impact. It has a very low stability and you’ll find that this weapon veers off with your shots, so it takes some getting used to.

What is also unfortunate is that this weapon doesn’t have a large magazine, which makes its sluggish reload speed even worse. It would be worthwhile to reforge it in hopes of getting the Field Scout perk to increase the ammo capacity.

Cosmetics

This weapon has a very unique appearance as opposed to other hand cannons.

It certainly has a prestigious and very desirable design. The lower-set barrel and added suppressor-esque attachment makes this weapon truly stand out.

It’s painted with the traditional thick gold paint accustom to the Iron Banner gear. Additionally, it clearly shows the iconic Iron Banner insignia.

Conclusion

This weapon is simply dominant among hand cannons. It does exactly what a hand cannon should: Hits hard, with the benefit of high range.

If you can get your hands on the Field Scout perk you will be left with what is essentially a near perfect hand cannon.

For PvP this weapon earns a 7.8/10 and for PvE a 7/10.
