Notes

• Along with the Blastmaw's Trigger, Dispatch is one of two Legendary Pistols that has a level requirement of 101, which cannot be reached in the game without modding.
  • This means that these pistols can only equipped by reaching a Dexterity of 486, which can be difficult for builds that are dedicated to Strength and/or Focus. This problem can be alleviated by wearing gear or using sockets that provide Dexterity bonuses or decrease item stat requirements.

Strategy

Dispatch's biggest strength is its massive 5880 physical damage of time, which deals so much more damage than its listed 917 DPS. However, keep in mind that this damage is not included in damage calculation for skills that use weapon DPS (such as Rapid Fire or Venomous Hail), meaning that the Dispatch is best used for auto-attack builds rather than skill-based builds.

Dispatch also provides a huge 5m range increase to pistol range which allows players to stay safe while attacking enemies. When two Dispatch are used together (although acquiring even one can be difficult), players can attack enemies at the very edge of the screen.
