Is range on Hand Cannons useless now?

So I was doing some tests in the cosmodrome trying to compare some hand cannons to see which one is the best. And at some point I tried shooting from distance with range perk on and then without the range perk and got the same damage which would mean any range perk is absolutely useless. Did I do something wrong when testing or is this true?

  • Well obviously if you where too close to the target you where within the max dmg zone regardless if the perk was on or not. Or if you where to far and was always outside the guns effective range. As far as I remember, the range stat only affects how far out a gun retains its max effective dmg, so a higher range stat doesn't affect dmg in itself.
