History of Sleight of Hand

Overview

Sleight of Hand is a Trait introduced in Season 16. It rewards kills made while the weapon is stowed. Final blows with weapons or abilities while it is stowed boost the weapon's Handling, Stability and reload speed for a short duration. It suits a second weapon, or an ability, doing the killing while the weapon sits holstered.

Where it appears

It rolls on many weapon types, including Hand Cannons such as Malediction. Other notable rolls include Hawthorne's Field-Forged Shotgun, Submission, Insidious, Deliverance and Cataclysmic.

Compared with similar perks

Stats for All also boosts handling, stability and reload, but it triggers on hitting three separate targets rather than on final blows while the weapon is stowed.
