While this is a heavy nerf it is the right approach to take. Replaced Quickdraw with Surplus on new and existing drops of Felwinter’s Lie and Astral Horizon.The Handling bonus is now removed one second after switching to this weapon, or upon aiming down sights.Since this interaction has not been touched, expect these Hand Cannons to still be strong in PvP, just not as dominant.
