Dire Promise

For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.

The Dire Promise is a 140 RPM Hand Cannon that was re-issued all the way back in Season 10 and much has changed. Sunsetting was introduced and then rolled back, 150 RPM HCs were collapsed into the 140 RPM frames and 110 RPMs were upgraded to 120 RPM, turning them into absolute PvP monsters. 140s are middle- of-the-pack but still pack a decent punch.

PvP Thoughts#

Once upon a time 120s rules the roost and 140s needed a bit of help. Recently 120s have had their wings clipped giving 140s some room to breathe. Unfortunately Dire Promise is still (largely) on the old perk pool. The roll we have below will absolutely the job done, but you likely have better options.

PvE Thoughts#

Dire Promise is hampered in PvE by having only the old perk pool available. It’s likely not your choice for high(er) tier PvE content because of that.

🙏 Promises Made and Kept (pvp)#

140s crave Stability. They won’t be helped as much by Range as they are by what Stability gives you: an AA cone that resets more quickly than it would otherwise and less kick to correct for. We’re also adding Elemental Capacitor to the mix, because the bonuses it gives you are phenomenal for nearly all elements.
