— In-game description

HOPE is a legendary pistol crafted in the Mystic Forge, through various materials and tasks tied to the Heart of Thorns expansion. As a culmination of Hylek alchemy, Asuran design and traditional crafting techniques, its creation will task you with learning tribal secrets and testing lost experiments throughout Tyria.

"Remember: the blue stuff is the Alchemical Catalyst, and the red stuff is the Transcendent Energy. Don't drink either of them. And whatever you do, don't drop this thing."

Graphics[edit]

Aura
  • The arm of the user wielding the weapon becomes slightly transparent and is covered in distinct lightning similar to that surrounding the weapon when fully drawn.
Draw/Stow effects
  • Upon drawing the weapon, the user's hands will light up.
  • When the pistol is drawn, luminescent colored fluid flows inside the tubes on each side of the weapon, filling them up. When full, one emits icy particles, the other fiery sparks; along the length of the barrel flow electric sparks.
  • The pistol emits a sound of "powering up" when drawn, and of "shutting down" when stowed.
Footfalls
  • The footprints alternate randomly between red and blue splattered squares, each containing patterns of circuitry, and emit lightning for a short time when created.

Notes[edit]

  • It is recommended that you do not attempt to stat change your precursor item with the standard stat swap recipe in the Mystic Forge. While you will be provided with an item with the desired stats, it will have been replaced with a generic ascended item that cannot be used as a legendary precursor.
  • HOPE is an acronym for Hylek Optimized Projectile Experiment.
  • The red fluid in the piping is the Transcendent Energy, and the blue liquid is the Alchemical Catalyst. Both are from the HOPE IV: The Catalyst collection.
  • The Barrel of the pistol appears to be the Advanced Ammunition Cylinder from the Prototype precursor.
  • As with other legendary weapons, many of the Engineer skills have no visual effects when using kits.
