The iron sight. Thats it. The iron sight is the only issue. Please change them so I can SEE.
The revolver is the perfect base to work with . Also, the gigantic icon above an enemys head doesnt need to cover the enemys head.

Yeah I stopped using helbore because of the sights. I wonât touch it because it feels the worst out of all the weapons just because of the sights.
Seems like the skin in store has better sights tooâŚ
Also a nice mod that makes it so ads auto charges and you can fire easier similar to plasma gun, can also drop ads for easier cancel shot. Much more organic than the current ads firing.
A mod recently has helped with this issue but I feel bad for the console players not being able to use it.

Using the various sights appropriately IS the skill. Not the aiming.
Helboresâs can technically kill anything, theyre mobile and versatile, they need a drawback. The Iron Sights are the drawback, preventing them from being super reliable rpecision weapons which is what Lasguns would be for.
Lasguns canât take Crushers (not everything needs to) Rending alleviates that somewhat but not reliably as a Helbore (although not too far from it. The DPS is quite high but its not a Boltgun burst âdpsâ obviously).
Helbores are a midrange weapon, except the chonky one which has the âbestâ Iron Sight and given my arguement you can see why; its better for precision.
You ARE using the front and rear sights, right? Perhaps adjust HOW you aim? Its not so much pinpointing the middle of the screen onto the enemies head. Lasguns have a âholoâ circle reticule with a precision dot because the circle helps with target acquisition (or should, if your Vet is worth their rations).
I said THammer was fine a few patches ago when people were asking for buffs. Turns out FS met me in the middle. Perhaps Helbores could receive some lvoe but still keep them as midrange semi precision weapons. More pen vs armoureds would be nice.

Even the example OP posted was really close range. Not a bit of what you said makes the slightest sense. It can be a weapon for imprecise close range and still have usable sights that are actually fun.
Bad sights and bad mechanics.
Yes it hits hard if you charge it fully. Its also slow to fire a second shot, lacks a big projectile, has no cleave outside melee, and a slow-as-frick equip animation. Its a weapon that should reward good aim and knowing which target to hit when. Just like it the 40k weapon FS copied for its skill. But that weapon doesnât have a stupidly annoying 90âs âhey lets make this thing charge up like a kiddie anime!â mechanic that might work in a zero-latency single-player game but falls flat when connecting to server means that everything is a hair off from its screen position.
The fix is really simple. Finish the promised weapon customization so that WE can pick what sights we want to use, then replace the charge-up mechanic with a lowered rate of fire. Suddenly instead of this⌠tech heresy we have a lore-accurate Lucius that has a niche. Will this happen? Nope. They would rather let a grease fire burn down the house than admit to not knowing how to cook.
