Hey, Thanks for watching! Find the written build guide here: moba.lol/LuckyPants

Can we all take a second to appreciate not only the builds but just the slick presentation of Mac's videos? This is just so beautiful.

This was the single greatest build video I've ever seen so clear and thorough and we'll put together loved the side by side comparisons of with mods and without just awesome stuff man liked subscribed commented just to let you know ya got a fan in me now boss!

As a Lucky Pants main, my heart is warmed by Mactics’ endorsement of this amazing playstyle.

I think that Solar is the better choice for this build. It gives it a higher ceiling and more survivability. That said, I have a VERY similar setup for Strand, from Plunder's video, and I have completely fallen in love with it! Lucky Pants and Hand Cannons are back baby :D

This is great! I was already using a version of this, but now going to add some extras to it. I love using Explosive Personality with Disruption Break for extra kinetic dmg when destroying a shield

Guess burning thru damn near a whole mag = 1 shot.

I love your videos man, I'm really new to the game but my buddies and I have started to attempt the higher level content and I hit a wall making builds myself. Your build videos do a better job of explaining why you pick each aspect/fragment/etc and as someone who literally started this season, I appreciate that a ton! Still got some exotics to collect but whenever I get one that I know youve covered for a recent build I jump on it and its a blast to play. I cant wait to try this one out especially, I really havent built anything around a gun yet. Gonna try to catch a stream soon, you're the man, keep it up!

Your build video quality and clarity is impresive. Thanks for your work.

Have been running crimson/lucky pants since WQ, and it is really cool to see my favorite D2 content creator cover it! Love the guide! As a sleeper legendary option, seventh seraph revolver with reconstruction/harmony or vorpal is pretty nice.

This build is *insane*- so much fun! Easily one of my fave builds ever. The only thing I’d advise is to think of your hand cannon as your “anti big target” firearm. Run an energy weapon you enjoy using that acts as your main and switch to your hand cannon to nuke big targets after activating radiance with your melee. Great video!

I love pairing Lucky pants with void & Malfeasance for endgame. It's still such a great exotic!

Love the builds Mano! Keep up the epic work!

This also works really well with Trust when paired with incandescent. Everything will pretty much just blow up. Personally I use a solar build with Trust and Crimson.

Absolute S tier content. Very concise and informative. Will definitely be trying this one out.

Great Video. I have always been a massive fan of the Lucky Pants but didn't realise that they offered so much to a Hunter Solar Loadout. Keep up the great work mate.

Sweet video, can’t wait to try! The cinematic shots are clean as hell too!

Ive always loved this build while using last word, gives me a chance to reason my all time favorite gun

This is pretty insane!! Definitely subscribing for more builds 😁

As a a lucky pants enthusiast since the rework void and strand are by far the best subclasses to run it with

Subbed, liked and commented, amazing guide well written and very clear!

One of the funniest builds I’ve used in a while, not really sure if it feels over powered since it doesn’t always have an up time and the damage is from guns not abilities but I hope this doesn’t get touched for a while, makes the gameplay loop feel fresh again and I can be a silly cowboy, great video! c:

Another fantastic build video. I use a similar build with my stasis hunter and malfeasance.

Bro I keep on saying......you are going to surpass the rest of those guys soon enough. You are truly what a content creator represents. Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

I’ve seen this build go around and decided to wait for the Mactics vid before I try it out as it’d be the best one!

150k up soon Mac!!! Another banger vid.

What happened to the Arc Titan build?

Great build and presentation as always!

Will have to try this build later. Haven't used Crimson in many years, nor lucky pants either thinking about it.

Honestly, Ace of Spades is really good with Lucky Pants as well. You can stack Memento Mori w/ the LP damage buff by pulling out your ghost and putting it away to trigger the effect.

Half a year ago i started with Destiny 2. I had few exotics. 2 of those were Crimson and Lucky Pants. 30 power levels under legendary.. I cleared my first solo lost sector with this combo. Team mates called me a liar. Since i had my first Flawless after 5 runs i had proof. Funny enough no exotics dropped though. This build was already really strong back then. Now,, its hilarious. Love seeing u push this build on your channel. Its highly underrated. Keep it going.

Great video thanks for all of your hard work!!

Thanks man! I just got the crimson and this build melts!

I actually have a similar build to this and I've been loving it! The only difference is that I only have 3 fragment due to having On Your Mark and Gunpowder Gamble, which is so good for ad clearing!

Are there any certain perks I should be using in the seasonal artifact with this build?

Nice seeing this as a new build used to use malfaisence in gambit back before the 3.0 classes

For a solo mostly hunter, would this be a preferable build to use over the void when going through the legendary Lightfall campaign/endgame stuff?

This has been very solid and enjoyable for me, thanks for the vid

You got me with the Ghost tip. Subbed immediately.

just a quick word on handcannon options, if you want your exotic slot open for something else like a heavy-slot DPS weapon (though idk why you would) then a crafted Austringer with Triple Tap and Frenzy is a great alternative to any of the top 3 HCs in the video git does dummy numbers even outside of this build and will do even MORE in it give it a shot, its very smooth and fun

Does the solar energy thingy from the sunshot get buffed by the pants?

Great editing and explaining 🎉

Another great one! Thanks Mactics!

Should you use a secondary hand cannon as well or does it matter?

I can’t believe how close I was to already having this build. I just slapped a few kinetic surges on my lucky pants with last word bc I thought “its rootin tootin time” but I didn’t think it could be made actually good

I Tried the Crimson after much time, paired with lucky pants just yesterday and. Can say is impressive, a real game changer, you feel almost unkillable.The damage is even more than I expected, without make attention for mods or everything else. I will try again with this build. 👌🏻

Is there a reason thorn is not listed? It can reload itself too and with the piercing it could have some potential

This intro is literally off the charts! Beautiful video

Another bonus of malfeasance is if you have a teammate running witherhoard. Enemies effected by Witherhoard are considered taken, so you get the damage bonus towards taken enemies

cheers for the build Mac

Curious as to get your opinion of n the best legendary hand cannons for this build

How do you get the b-roll footage? I've always wanted to try something like that

nice video build tutorial congrats!

you know I thought I wasn't gonna like this build but it was actually hella fun, great vid

Is this still good for season of the deep? Or should I use different fragments and mods

I feel like this could work really well with strand. That reload on grenade fragment with grenade energy on damage fragment is pretty rad and probably next to nerf unless they decide to go after grapple some more

I've been using lucky pants and crimson for a long time and just really liked the combo little did I know I had an awesome build without realizing it.

don't overlook Last Word for your Lucky Pants builds! with its high rate of fire, smaller mag, and kinetic loader mod you can get in TWO full mags before the cool down hits to really take advantage of that fully stacked damage boost.

Been running this for 3 or 4 seasons now been catching flack for it for just as long i appreciate that finally people are noticing how good it is

My inner cowboy is in love with this build Mac, thanks for making this video

Have you tested it with Drang and Sturm? I wonder how the empowered bullets stack with the lucky pants

@mactics you are awesome. Brilliant build as always!

Another banger, nicely done!!

How about hawkmoon? Would that be a viable choice too?

Great video, but I am not able to get a 14 sec cool down on markman’s dodges. I have 10 tier mobility as well. Any assistance?

Been using Lucky Pants + HC for years with excellent results. I typically run the last word or a dire promise with a bow for that quick hit and swap blinting play style. It's great both PvE and PvE but where this combo shines is Gambit.

I'm intrigued to try it. Been enjoying my Knives + Tripmine Grenades with Young Ahamkara's Spine build. It's super fun.

love the video and the presentation is amazing, one quick question tho, did you use kinetic surge with golden gun, cuz i’ve heard that kinetic surge increases golden gun damage

That was indeed, enough to convince me to subscribe.

Hey what shader is he using to make all his gear white, I'd love that and maybe some armor suggestions cause his gear always looks good, although I am already grinding for the hat

Any chance u can make this with but void? Curious abt how much more can be done with a void debuff

What would be a good special to pair with the HC?

what other weapons did you use in the build for barrier and unstoppable and what did you use in the artifact?

Good vid and build. Thanks!

Does lucky pants stack with Sturm/drang buff to the hand cannon would be nuts to see

YO I Started running this build literally two days ago! Hawk moon w/ surplus is my build and recommendation but can’t wait to try these other ones out too!

I used to run crimson and lucky pants for so long, even before it's buff a couple of years or so ago they pair so well. although im pretty sure it did get a stealth nerf sometime ago last year as overnight it felt a little weaker (although still strong)

How does lumina feel with this build?

Top notch video mate! 🍻

dude that is some cool armor which pieces are those?

Maybe I’m not understanding the loop but don’t you have to pull out the hand cannon to activate modded holster and get the damage buff? So essentially switching weapons all the time?

This intro is amazing…I’m curious on how you can get that 3rd person camera angle and cinematic zoom. Is there a instant replay that I’m missing?

I tried this out when i first saw it a couple weeks ago, and I use Eriana's for it at first. But while doing a bit of Titaning (I'm a Titan main) on the Nightfall last night, I got Crimson from a random Arc Minotaur kill. My god, does it tear through everything.

Bro no lie been quietly rocking Lucky Pants & Crimson for close to a year now - absolutely shreds especially after the mid-season patch. Can’t think of a better champion-killer & the ammo is free!

Also what are the other armor pieces? Like the hands, the head, the cape? That stuff.

People suggesting Seraph revolver - on paper it is amazing, but in reality the 40% bonus from exotics against red bars helps a lot in difficult content and the range is an issue also. Because of range I prefer malfeasance, the explosion can take care of some pesky turrets from safe distance. I like also strand for suspension grenades, they make weakspots easy to reach and deal with the most difficult mobs easily (wyverns, tormentors). However, I will definitely be trying this solar version this week for sure.

Except the leg armor, do i need to have the same armor set as you have?

Omg I rock a warlock main and can’t wait to try this build out, hunters are so op

Appreciate this build. It's not half bad. Thank you.

I had basically the same build during season 17, and to this day I maintain that explosive knife is superior to knife trick. The ridiculous homing these knives have make it very easy to directly hit targets, dealing roughly the same damage as a lightweight knife on impact then exploding soon after, basically guaranteeing kills on weaker trash enemies all the way through Day 1 raids and even GM's, especially if you land a crit. Your melee is now just a slightly weaker, more spammable fusion grenade that will chase enemies like the briefcase from Hitman. Having tried all 3 of your top picks when putting together my own lucky pants build back then, I found Malfeasance to be the superior, all round better pick. While Crimson builds stacks much faster, heals on kills and even full reloads on headshot kills, it doesn't do nearly as well when you're just trying to burst down a beefier enemy or boss as it relies on headshot kills to mitigate its poor magazine size. You will run out of ammo before your buff runs out, and I'd rather save my class ability for gamblers dodge. Malfeasance's innate extra damage burst is still nice in spite of it not getting boosted by Lucky Pants, damage is damage. Also, you're not running out of ammo before the buff runs out, you can polish off the rest of the mag, reload, swap to your energy to pop off a shot or two then switch right back for more Lucky Pants action. For healing, consider using armor mods to spawn orbs from charged melees, and armor mods on your legs to give a bit of health on orb pickup. This frees up a fragment and allows you to run healing grenades for emergencies

Ever since I picked up a hunter, I've been running sunshot/lucky pants just for the fun of it! I'll have to try your recommended picks to see if it'll be more fun for me

This was wonderful, ty

I love the cowboy hat. "It only takes one bullet" - Rango

Can you check out mantle of battle harmony and ager’s scepter? It gives a pretty nasty damage boost with the catalyst and with 3x surge it shreds almost anything

What is the shaders and gear you are using ??!

I was just in my Vault yesterday and realised my lucky pants were a 67 base, so I equipped them for a try. I then randomly came across this video I must have had them for years without using them. what a trip lol

Mac with the HEAT as always!

is this still good with todays seasonal mods / artifact ?

Watching the intro clip all in 3rd person was a nice change. We all shit on D2 from time to time, but we can't deny its a great looking looter shooter game.

Lucky Pants were always amazing. I ran Crimson and a Blinding GL to solo the Legendary Campaign of Lightfall with little effort. With the mid season patch, Lucky Pants have gotten even better.
