@DirtyEffinHippy I don’t have a lot of followers on here, but my Instagram has the same handle and I like the way my content is formatted better there. I’m essentially creating a digital diary of ally my favorite D2 weapons! Although I’m currently pausing my content to enjoy FOTL 😅
Duke Mk. 44
It wasn’t until Forsaken when I started actively using Hand Cannons. I wasn’t very accurate at first, so I needed something that would hit HARD in PvE. Something about changing the rpm to 120 makes it feel “off” these days, though…
My first Duke dropped with Outlaw, but Rapid Hit is superior imho. A Reload MW helps if you can’t spare HC Reloader mods, and the Rampage Spec mod maintains a consistent uptime for Rampage.

Breachlight
At 4,523 kills and counting, I can say without a doubt that this is my favorite sidearm in the game. Believe it or not, but this was the weapon that carried me on my Day 1 Deep Stone Crypt.
It is as deadly as it is gorgeous. Demolitionist will keep your mag topped of if you are running a grenade-centric build, but a Reload MW and a Rampage spec keep that damage buff rolling. Osmosis is nice for Matchgame content as well as paring well with some exotics.

Recoil is a 55, but several snipers can roll recoil that ends in 0 or 5. One could argue the range of 52 and a zoom of 45 are too low (as they are the lowest), but I like low zoom SRs and the range doesn't matter if you have Ionic Return Proc'd.
I have just discovered that Borealis has the best stats of any 72 rpm sniper by a very wide margin. They are:
66 Stability (20 more than Frozen Orbit)
78 Handling (30 more than Occluded Finality)
68 Reload (after Masterwork, 20 more than FO)
65 Aim Assist (20 more than OF)
5 Mag
The Guiding Sight
I love Scout Rifles, but due to their effective range, they tend be outclassed by Snipers at long distances and Pulses by anything closer. But any time there is an Anti-Champion Scout mod, I slap this baby on.
I choose to use a Major Spec over stacking Boss Spec with Vorpal just to cover my bases. Armor Piercing Rounds comes in handy pretty often, and Rapid Hit is always nice when it comes to sustained damage, or just getting back into the fight.
