In this part of the video, the creator discusses their experience with the new weapons introduced in the “Season of the Lost,” focusing on evaluating their perks and effectiveness. They have tested various guns and perk combinations and decided to share a top five list of their favorite weapons, with particular attention on their base perks without influence from mod combos or seasonal mods. The video begins with the fifth weapon on the list, the Peacebond sidearm from Iron Banner, a kinetic three-round burst sidearm. Although sidearms are often seen as niche weapons, Peacebond stands out this season due to its compatibility with the seasonal mod for sidearms.

They start by criticizing a weapon that cannot go beyond tier five due to subpar perks, recommending perk loadouts like subsistence with harmony or swashbuckler for better performance.
