History of Desperate Measures (perk)

Overview

Desperate Measures is a Basic Trait from Season 23. Weapon final blows grant bonus damage. Final blows made with Melee attacks or Grenades give a bigger bonus, and the bonuses can stack.

It rolls on about 95 weapons.

Note: this is the weapon perk. The Lightfall mission of the same name is a separate page.

History

Unlike Golden Tricorn, Desperate Measures does not need matching damage types to activate, and its buffs last slightly longer. At launch it rolled on Brave Arsenal weapons from Into the Light, including The Recluse, Forbearance and Hammerhead.
