Is it just me or is The First Curse a monster now?
So I've been raiding my vault for sweet meta loot since the patch(Messenger is love) and I came across the First Curse. Seeing as the first shot on hand cannons now is almost always on target, which should almost always be lined up for their head if you're trying to be good with them, and that thing always hit like a truck I figured I'd try it out. It does 95 to the head and 64 to the body. With a TTK only slightly slower than the Palindrome class, with the ability to two shot people from stupid range I think you should all try this thing out.
If you see someone first you practically start a gunfight against a player with ~105 health depending on armor thanks to the first shot accuracy buff. Add in that its falloff range is massively far, the thing snipes people when it's main perk is active. Perfect for team shots in doubles and threes and nets significant clean up numbers in 6s.
A little video reference.
95 to the head: That two shots low armor types without any tomfoolery like WoL bubbles. From the ranges in that video... yeah.
Good pairings with this weapon are the Memory of Gheleon for predictive aiming and a sidearm or shotgun for close range engagements. If you're playing Trials, a good sniper is also fine, because this gun is capable of cleaning up almost any sniper from most reasonable ranges with a body shot.
TL;DR - Use the First Curse.
-edit- in that video, after the first kill and free reload, how is the next shot fired to get that guy off me, free too?
