Lore

Drifter wiped the sweat off his brow and the grin off his face. His shoulders slumped as he stepped down from the platform in the Derelict. The Gambit match had ended in a hard-earned win. The next match would be in a few minutes. That's all he had.

He cleared his throat. His voice was hoarse.

Drifter looked up at the swirling mass of egregore and his thoughts shifted back to Eris Morn. They'd found a little comfort with each other. A little understanding. But what did it look like, he wondered, when all that chitin burst out of her? What did it feel like to eat up all those tithes the Guardians were taking for her in the field? In the Crucible? In Gambit?

He'd read the reports. He saw the theories on VanNet. He didn't trust them. He trusted her.

Drifter nodded to himself and took a breath as he heard the Guardians assemble behind him. He stepped up on the platform, flicking his jade coin. It spun in the air, catching the light, before falling back into the Drifter's waiting palm.

"You ever eat Hive eyes?" he asked with a smile, twisting his wrist around and slipping the coin back into his sleeve.

"Real juicy. They go pop in your mouth, and a shiver runs all the way through… Heh. I'll tell you when you're older."

He winked. The assembled Guardians watched him in silence.

"Transmat firing!" he called out, and they disappeared in a burst of light.

The Kept Confidence is a Legendary hand cannon that is part of Destiny 2 Season of the Witch's collection. This hand cannon is a Strand weapon and features a Hive-inspired look.

Kept Confidence God Rolls

Kept Confidence PVE God Roll

  • Chambered Compensator
  • Accurized Rounds
  • Loose Change
  • Multikill Clip / Collective Action
  • Masterwork: Handling, Range

For PVE, the Kept Confidence traits that stand out are the Loose Change and the Multikill Clip, with Collective Action as the latter alternative. Loose Change increases your weapon’s reload speed after applying an elemental debuff. Stats for All can be an alternative for this trait, improving your weapon’s handling, reload, stability, and range after hitting three separate targets. Then, Multikill Clip increases your damage output based on previous rapid kills while Collective Action grants a stacking period of increased damage when you collect elemental pickups or throw a Strand Tangle.

Kept Confidence PVP God Roll

  • Corkscrew Rifling
  • Accurized Rounds
  • Quickdraw
  • Eye of the Storm
  • Masterwork: Handling, Range

The Kept Confidence has decent PVP capability, thanks to the Quickdraw and Eye of the Storm traits. Quickdraw will allow you to draw your weapons fast, allowing you to shoot opposing Guardians as soon as you see them. Eye of the Storm will make the Kept Confidence more accurate with a boost in its handling whenever your health gets lower. Overall, the Kept Confidence is a great dueling weapon for the Crucible.
