    Weapon to allow extra skill tier ( help needed )

    I recently watched a YouTube video and the player was using 4 yellow and 2 red but still maintained skill tier 6 .

    I know that tactician gives 1 extra skill tier.

    I'm pretty sure that he was using a weapon to grant the extra skill tier ...but I didn't save the video for later reference.

    Can anyone help me out please with the weapons name.

    Thanks.

    FYI, the TDI Kard custom is only found in the DZ or named item caches.

    The future perfect weapon talent also grants skill tiers for killing enemies. You will only have an extra skill tier from the Kard custom if you're using it. The extra tier doesn't work if holstered.

    I believe the named versions are the Mechanical Animal AR & the Scalpel MMR.

    Good luck getting it to drop. Pistols haven't been a targeted loot in the DZ for over a month. And named caches never seem to drop it. I'm 3 seasonal events in buying only named caches, and still nothing.

    And quite honestly, the Capacitor exotic AR adds more damage than a single skill tier anyway, and works as a better offensive gun than a pistol.

    The only reason to use the Kard named pistol is for skill tier shield builds or if you're farming with the ammo/pistolero directives.

    It's also very useful while playing in a team – if a mate get's downed you can quickly swap to the named TDI to raise your Skill Tier to two (if you're running any build without a Skill Tier), thus adding an extra charge to your Reviver Hive. Toss him the Hive, use one charge to get him up on his feet again, pick the Hive up again – you'll still have one charge left for yourself.

    Very true.

    I guess what I should have said was: "The only reason to use a Kard as a primary weapon....."

    Does it work? Does not the second charge have a cooldown before being available?

    If you use a momento also with the technician tree and kard custom you can get a 3 blue 6 yellow and a 1 red build. Works really well with a tank technician, + it can get a ton of hazard wich is great for pvp
