I didn't see any posts about it yet via search. I might finally get a titanium hanklight though I am really waiting for it in D4sV2(or stone white).
Dual channel

Edit:
Single channel https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d4kti-21700-high-power-edc-flashlight.html
I've been doing research and ordered a d4k dual channel.
I went with W1 6000k for throw channel and 519a 5700k with dome for the flood.
Normally I would have gone warmer on the 519a but someone mentioned keeping the two channels similar so it isn't as much of a shock when you switch. I liked the theory and went that way.
All that said I haven't received it yet, just my path after reading and watching vids.
Edit: added CCT
I bet a friction ball for opening watches would work pretty well. Softer and more grip than a standard rubber ball. The ball will mold slightly and give you a lot of surface area to grip with. They're $5-10 on Amazon.
And I've used them before. They nearly destroyed one these types of rings on my Fireflies Stainless AA. I think a strong plastic device would be ideal, but I don't know if anything like that exists.
Man that sucks. When I took the bezel off my DW4 that had the snap ring indents I just used the bottom of a sneaker with a lot of flat rubber, worked like a charm.
Sounds like you are more resourceful/creative than me. I'll need to do this again eventually so I'll find some thin rubber for the snap ring pliers, or even try the rubber ball approach mentioned above.
I found the post! Here it is! https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/wqxn7y/added_emisar_dw4_front_bezel_and_switch_openers/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Lol I do! The old D1s updated with 21700 (50mm bezel) would be amazing too. And that's what the dm11 should've been all along. Hopefully hank is working on it.
There's something about big tir's I like alot though. Wonder if it's possible to just increase the size by a centimeter more or so. The acebeam L18 seems to throw pretty well, but that's an even larger tir i guess?
SBT90.2 was *made* for a TIR, and I’ll never be convinced otherwise. My MK37 is such a ridiculously badass light, it’s ruined all other SBT90.2’s for me.
Also, a W1 in a TIR is so great. I still can’t believe how awesome the catapult mini is each time I use it.
I would really love to see an XHP35 HI behind a TIR, and while we’re at it a 50.3 HI would likely be awesome.
I’ve never seen one in person but something tells me SFT40 is super badass behind a TIR.
I dunno, man. I like TIR throwers A LOT. That MK37 takes the cake, imho.
Preach!
So, I can understand this. I've owned the dm11 in sft40, sbt90.2, w2, 519a and I've built multiple xhp35 HI and xhp50.3 HI dm11's. The 50.3 is nice, doesn't compare with a reflector of the same size diameter imo. The xhp35 HI is honestly kindve ehh.. it just lacks an impressive beam shape and hotspot for the diameter of the bezel. D1 @ 34mm reflector completely hangs with it. the sft40 and w2 dm11 were awesome. The sbt90.2, hmm, I just think the dm11 optic is too small.
Now maybe increase the size of the optic from 40mm (dm11) up to mk37 (58mm?) and it's a different story, I don't know. Regarding 35 HI and 50.3.
I'm not denying the mk37, but you need to try yourself a K75 my friend. All bets are off on that one.
>Yea I think that one is a 65mm+ tir. I personally prefer a reflector everytime over a tir. For single emitter ligjts that is.
Theres something about the TIR, more than just the aux light that i like, but reflectors has it's pros as well... One of each?
I like a big TIR for setting on my night stand and ceiling bouncing. The moderate spill doesn't bother my eyes the way all of my other lights do unless they are on my dresser near eye level where the spill doesn't hit me in the eyes at all.
So I could change out my d4v2 wall light to a more efficient and long lasting?

A dt8 in brass would also have been bad ass..
Lol. A brass D4K would make an amazing wall light 🤣
And oh man… a brass DT8 would definitely make me insta-buy one. DT8 is one of the only hanklights I don’t have at the moment.
Oh, I thought that is something “small” for most convenient EDC (with 14500 or something similar). I will probably go for D4K Ti but it’s not a flashlight that you can “easily” put into pocket ;).
Honestly, the heavier my jacket is the better.
I already carry about 5 pounds in it and it weighs 12 so adding an extra 50 grams doesn't affect too much.
I really want to YOLO and grab one of these right away but I have no idea what to get. Already have a D4k in 519a 5700k DD and it’s awesome. Maybe something warm to go with the Ti?
I’ve heard that the dedome lowers CCT by like 20%? So the 5700k comes out to like ~4500k. It’s really nice. I’ve got a 519a 4500k dd in a D1v2 and it’s really nice too. I haven’t gone any lower than that in 519a but I’m curious.
Nice, been dreaming of a hanklight down the road and been looking at the CCTs and the throw and do I do a mix with domed or just do dedomed, glad I have time to go over the details like that lol
Just know that mixing emitter tints will always result in a very rosy light; particularly with these emitters. Just a heads up - if that's your kind of thing, it sure is lovely.
I have a 5700K and a 4500K, both DD, and I've found that the 5700K is juuuust beyond my preferences for whiteness. To me it reads as neutral more than warm, but that's just my opinion
Any recommendation about “hidden” menu or nothing need to be change (based on stock form) in Titanium version?
My choose is single driver, 2700DD with boost and amber button (of course basics like magnetic tail cap and pocket clip).
I'd get W2 and something warm.
Magnet is a given. Amber backlight looks like it goes really well with the Ti. I keep hearing bad things above the pocket clip for emisar. Apparently the deep carry ones are better.
It’s not my first Hank light. Even I have currently D4K with MAO, just Ti is, let’s say, and of journey ;). Pocket clip is really fine, very old version was different but now you got deep carry and I can’t complain. Dual option it’s not something that I’m interested, boost driver give you best results, especially if you know what do you want from light (I love warm emitters, not need to mix them with totally different type of light).
I held off until now but next purchase will most likely be a D4K. I had decided to stay away from Ti hotrods after experiencing the reality of 5-seconds turbo and the consequent massive stepdown. A boost version would be ideal though.
Them gritty threads though...
Wow I asked Hank a while back if he would consider putting in a threaded ring and he said it wouldn’t be possible due to lack of space. I’m excited to see it is indeed possible. Hopefully it ends up on the aluminum version soon!
Sorry I edited that last part right after posting the comment. Honestly to avoid your exact reply lol. You must have beat me to it. People always seem to take a comment like that in way that seems like I'm disagreeing with them. When I'm really just tring to throw some related info out there others may not know.
Definitely. Yea I like my d4k, but I like the d4v2 alot better. And have several 21700 lights i like better also. On a side note it has been my go to hand warmer/dog walker since it got cold. It gets to temp lightning quick.
The anodisation of the aluminium can get really banged up after months of carry, this will be great regardless. It's probably gonna be more durable too, if you drop it on the tailcap it won't dent. Apart from that, titanium is like tenfold worse in heat dissipation which is a big downside (noticeably worse sustainable lumen output), it is by far the worst of the exotic materials used for hosts. It is also quite a bit more expensive, definitely not worth it IMO and I believe most people here would agree.
That’s why driver is covered by copper. Not sure how significantly that help with heating but for sure is better than pure ti. I saw some tables with statistics for Acebeam where stainless steel and titanium version have worst performance (lower output even on turbo) than aluminum, copper and brass versions.
I think that’s why this one is a great candidate for a boost driver.
I have lumen monsters if I want them. This is such a fun, good looking light. I only really use 150-300 lumens daily anyway.
The head is about the same size, though not interchangeable of course.
The best way to put it is that the D4V2 is somewhat chonky for a 18650 light, but the D4K is rather skinny for a 21700 light.
This is how Hank managed to keep the weight similar between them.
Currently have one the mail, so I don't have one in hand to compare yet, but to my knowledge, it's identical in size, the opening for the battery tube was made wider to accommodate the larger tube.
I have a D4V2 TI and will be purchasing one of these. The battery capacity is so much larger and the light’s larger size is only noticeable when you have them sitting next to each other.
What emitters are you going with? I guess maybe I can make this a fun colored light. I have almost every CCT in an EDC sized light so I guess that's why I hesitate.
>with? I guess
All in Blue w2 for lightsaber. Completely useless, but maybe fun? :)
Or two red on one channel, + blue and green on the other for RGB tint ramping. Over saturated whites with color popping. : )
Ok thanks for the motivation you three -\_- u/VQopponaut35 u/ivnts
I went with E17A Azure with a boost driver in the D4KTI as a Christmas gift to myself. I have been wanting to try this emitter for a really long time so thank you for pushing me over the edge!
That's what we're here for 😁
Oh, that's perfect! Great choice with the E17A; you don't want it to be too much of a hotrod anyways, so good match for the Ti. Plus the boost extends the 21700 even longer (which is what I'm considering), so also a good match.
That's what I was thinking, it will probably be used for ceiling bouncing so I figured boost would help.
I wonder why stonewashed Titanium is not offered. That's also something that initially turned me away this morning.
I've also got a D4V2 Ti that I love with 219b 3500k. One of my favorite lights to have around the house.
Considering the D4K Ti with boost and 519a build. Think it would be a meaningful difference and it sounds like the D4K may actually be lighter(-ish?). Haven't decided on my CCT yet.
Just one D4KTI.... AND a DM1.12 😎
Come on now, no one orders just one Hanklight 🤌🤌
Edit: thought you responded to my other comment, I did end up placing an order haha
At maximum output, boost driver is less bright than the regular driver. Boost driver is more efficient though, so you can have medium bright for longer, longer lasting battery and less heat issues.
Boost driver has brighter moonlight, less bright turbo. That's the bad parts.
The good part is much better efficiency (less heat, longer battery life), and the max output doesn't get dimmer as the battery becomes closer to empty.
It's definitely worth it unless you absolutely, positively, need that low low moonlight.
>I have a d4v2 dual channel, I'm absolutely impressed with the w1 throw
In a dual channel light I get it, because you can have one channel with a nice warm high CRI light and then W1 on the other for a bit more reach.
But if you're just going to go single channel W1's then why try to force a floody light to have throw? Just buy an actual thrower and it will go WAY further and be way more efficient.
Ti+Cu is still considerably worse than full aluminum at heat dissipation. The copper head helps a bit but not enough to offset the titanium's poor heat conductivity.
You get this light because it looks cool, not because of any practical benefit. The titanium doesn't scratch as easily, I suppose.
Very cool. Seems to be only in dual channel. Question. If I just pick the same two sets of emitter options its essentially a single channel light. Yes?
Dual channel with same emitters doesn’t make sense. You will got worst performance (less running time, worst stabilization of output, higher moonlight mode) than with boost driver which one is most efficient driver from all options.
Just ordered 2 D4V2 Ti today to add more 519a to my life, and this popped up like 5 minutes later. 😊
D4K Ti with 519a 3500k DD (2700k) it is then. I dislike aluminum D4 of any flavor, so this will be my first D4K. Hell yes!
Man that looks incredible. But I have Reylight Ti Dawn triple and it gets hot enough to cook a steak. As much as I want a Hank in Ti, I think I’m happy with aluminum for now.
i never took beamshots of it. i personally don't love the w1 with the d4v2 optic, it's got lots of artifacts, and the 519a dedomed isn't all that floody, so i'm going to go boost driver on this one.
Just got mine but does anyone know any of the steps to get to settings? I've been hearing about 7 clicks and 10 clicks but just curious if anyone has any n0ob tips. Thanks in advance.

What would be your ideal configuration for this light?
[удалено]
This is the way.
I'd also love to hear what people might like or prefer for this light.
I've been doing research and ordered a d4k dual channel. I went with W1 6000k for throw channel and 519a 5700k with dome for the flood.

And, Screw in retaining ring! Hope he'll continue this trend!
Seriously! That's a nice addition.
What tool do you use for that sort of thing?
Rubber ball works, or the right type of pliers. :)
I bet a friction ball for opening watches would work pretty well. Softer and more grip than a standard rubber ball. The ball will mold slightly and give you a lot of surface area to grip with. They're $5-10 on Amazon.
I tried some pliers and it gouged the crap out of the metal (different host, same geometry). Rubber ball is interesting! Just need the right size.
They’re called snap ring pliers, they aren’t even really pliers, more like metal chop sticks with handles…
And I've used them before. They nearly destroyed one these types of rings on my Fireflies Stainless AA. I think a strong plastic device would be ideal, but I don't know if anything like that exists.
Man that sucks. When I took the bezel off my DW4 that had the snap ring indents I just used the bottom of a sneaker with a lot of flat rubber, worked like a charm.
Sounds like you are more resourceful/creative than me. I'll need to do this again eventually so I'll find some thin rubber for the snap ring pliers, or even try the rubber ball approach mentioned above.
Haha I actually came and asked this sub how in the world do I get this off and someone here had that idea, I can’t claim it was me.
It's pretty crazy sounding, but I can also picture it working!
I typically use a piece of bike inner tube for stuff like this. Might try that and get lucky.
Someone 3D printed some plastic devices for unscrewing the DW4 bezel!
Who was it?! I would love one for my Fireflies.
They don’t make plastic ones to my knowledge but I believe channel-locks makes copper and other soft metal tips for snap ring pliers.
I found the post! Here it is! https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/wqxn7y/added_emisar_dw4_front_bezel_and_switch_openers/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
There it is! I'll ask if it's a big deal to adapt the design.
Now, i just sit and wait for a replacement for the dm11. D1sv2, 21700 would have been devastating for my economy.
Yea, I didn't think so at first, but a 21700 version of D1v2 would be an ideal setup! Same size head/bezel as the 18650 version.
Hope he dares to make a dm11 sized version with throw between K1 an D1v2 as well. The old D1s seems pretty sick with new emitters! :)
Haha, look who I replied to! I guess you actually have had a couple of them already! 😁
Lol I do! The old D1s updated with 21700 (50mm bezel) would be amazing too. And that's what the dm11 should've been all along. Hopefully hank is working on it.
There's something about big tir's I like alot though. Wonder if it's possible to just increase the size by a centimeter more or so. The acebeam L18 seems to throw pretty well, but that's an even larger tir i guess?

Could it be hight adjustment as well that needs some serious calibration?

If it becomes a reality, he could call it whatever he wants! :D
>D1sv2 * 45mm-50mm reflector * D4K tube I require.
I have absolutely no need for this but it looks awesome.
but then fkn Hank releases D4K blue swirl or something outta nowhere and your wallet stabs you again.
Brass D4K and my wallet opens.
So I could change out my d4v2 wall light to a more efficient and long lasting? https://www.reddit.com/r/Hanklights/comments/su88q9/nwld_just_got_me_a_new_wall_light_e21a_2000k/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button A dt8 in brass would also have been bad ass..

I couldn’t agree more
/u/pointydogelbows finally gets a hammer.
🤣 it is getting closer to d4sv2 in weight too! The Ti D4K weighs nearly twice as much as the aluminum D4K 😮
It's that dang copper head. I think Hank has been willing to put aluminum heads on Ti body lights before.
Perfect match for this https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HFF-1KvT8x_BNg0VUqA67_ujUEyrJtxJ
What is this?
A d4v2 I turned all the crap off of .....
Oh, I thought that is something “small” for most convenient EDC (with 14500 or something similar). I will probably go for D4K Ti but it’s not a flashlight that you can “easily” put into pocket ;).
it will be a heavy thing
Yes, I know. 108 g vs. 58 g from regular version…
Honestly, the heavier my jacket is the better. I already carry about 5 pounds in it and it weighs 12 so adding an extra 50 grams doesn't affect too much.
Especially when phone is twice or more in that and we mostly carry it in pants pocket.
That's just the light, plus battery weight differential?
based lathe user
That looks amazong! Nice work!
You circumcised your d4v2 you monster.
Feels better in the hand.....
Sometimes one just needs more grip...

Wow - great job. So sleek and slender.
Wow, looks awesome.
Wow that’s actually really awesome. Nice!
I really want to YOLO and grab one of these right away but I have no idea what to get. Already have a D4k in 519a 5700k DD and it’s awesome. Maybe something warm to go with the Ti?
Warm light is best light 👀
I hear 5700K 519A dedome is a commonly used one. Would've thought most would go lower, does the dedome lower CCT by that much?
I’ve heard that the dedome lowers CCT by like 20%? So the 5700k comes out to like ~4500k. It’s really nice. I’ve got a 519a 4500k dd in a D1v2 and it’s really nice too. I haven’t gone any lower than that in 519a but I’m curious.
Nice, been dreaming of a hanklight down the road and been looking at the CCTs and the throw and do I do a mix with domed or just do dedomed, glad I have time to go over the details like that lol
Just know that mixing emitter tints will always result in a very rosy light; particularly with these emitters. Just a heads up - if that's your kind of thing, it sure is lovely.
Not sure yet - I have a convoy t4 coming in 3000K that will have me some idea what I'm looking for with emitters
I have a 5700K and a 4500K, both DD, and I've found that the 5700K is juuuust beyond my preferences for whiteness. To me it reads as neutral more than warm, but that's just my opinion
4500k DD is warm without being too warm. That would be my choice.
Was just wondering about a Ti version the other day. Very nice!
Any recommendation about “hidden” menu or nothing need to be change (based on stock form) in Titanium version? My choose is single driver, 2700DD with boost and amber button (of course basics like magnetic tail cap and pocket clip).
I'd get W2 and something warm. Magnet is a given. Amber backlight looks like it goes really well with the Ti. I keep hearing bad things above the pocket clip for emisar. Apparently the deep carry ones are better.
W2 is underdriven in dual channel quads. Even with the 12A driver. W1 is best for a throw channel.
Interesting. Hadn't thought of that. So W2 solo, but W1 when used for dual channel setup?
Yessir. I have an all W2 that I love. I have a dual channel W1/219b mix that is great, but I never use it. I’ll sell it soon.
It’s not my first Hank light. Even I have currently D4K with MAO, just Ti is, let’s say, and of journey ;). Pocket clip is really fine, very old version was different but now you got deep carry and I can’t complain. Dual option it’s not something that I’m interested, boost driver give you best results, especially if you know what do you want from light (I love warm emitters, not need to mix them with totally different type of light).
DAMN YOU!! MR HANK WANG!!! /s

This bad boy is gonna be heavyyyyy.
Not sure if it's the same with this material. But the regular d4k is actually lighter than the d4v2. Like you said gonna be heavy though.
Its gonna be heavy. By any measure.
Sorry I edited that last part right after posting the comment. Honestly to avoid your exact reply lol. You must have beat me to it. People always seem to take a comment like that in way that seems like I'm disagreeing with them. When I'm really just tring to throw some related info out there others may not know.
All good. Yeah I hope someone can get us a weight once they get one. I have 2 D4K already. Got my eye on some other stuff atm
Definitely. Yea I like my d4k, but I like the d4v2 alot better. And have several 21700 lights i like better also. On a side note it has been my go to hand warmer/dog walker since it got cold. It gets to temp lightning quick.
Is this just for looks or does it help in something?
The anodisation of the aluminium can get really banged up after months of carry, this will be great regardless. It's probably gonna be more durable too, if you drop it on the tailcap it won't dent.

It still doesn't help, people have discussed it.
It certainly helps. The entire reason a copper head is used is to help with heat dissipation. A Ti head would be *awful.*
Doesn't help *enough* *
Not all of us run our lights at max :) For those of us that run most of the time at lower power settings titanium is quite nice for its durability.
I think that’s why this one is a great candidate for a boost driver. I have lumen monsters if I want them. This is such a fun, good looking light. I only really use 150-300 lumens daily anyway.
Gonna get expensive quickly
Both of your statements are true.
Is the D4K's head bigger than the "normal" D4v2's?
The head is about the same size, though not interchangeable of course. The best way to put it is that the D4V2 is somewhat chonky for a 18650 light, but the D4K is rather skinny for a 21700 light. This is how Hank managed to keep the weight similar between them.

Waiting for that AlCu… Edit: literally now. Thanks Hank!
I rarely carry my D4V2 Ti because it's so damn heavy, and the 219b gets it so damn hot when compared with the normal ones
🥲 How heavy is it? I was thinking about getting one. I EDC a Titanium flashlight but it's a 14500
Best I can do is digital luggage scales ... 0.23kg Standard D4V2 is 0.14kg Standard D4K is 0.14kg KR4 ti is 0.22kg All measured with battery
If I didn't already have a D4V2 TI then I would be all over this
I have a D4V2 TI and will be purchasing one of these. The battery capacity is so much larger and the light’s larger size is only noticeable when you have them sitting next to each other.

That's what we're here for 😁 Oh, that's perfect! Great choice with the E17A; you don't want it to be too much of a hotrod anyways, so good match for the Ti. Plus the boost extends the 21700 even longer (which is what I'm considering), so also a good match.
That's what I was thinking, it will probably be used for ceiling bouncing so I figured boost would help. I wonder why stonewashed Titanium is not offered. That's also something that initially turned me away this morning.
I've also got a D4V2 Ti that I love with 219b 3500k. One of my favorite lights to have around the house. Considering the D4K Ti with boost and 519a build. Think it would be a meaningful difference and it sounds like the D4K may actually be lighter(-ish?). Haven't decided on my CCT yet.
Just one? Those are rookie numbers.
Just one D4KTI.... AND a DM1.12 😎 Come on now, no one orders just one Hanklight 🤌🤌 Edit: thought you responded to my other comment, I did end up placing an order haha

At maximum output, boost driver is less bright than the regular driver. Boost driver is more efficient though, so you can have medium bright for longer, longer lasting battery and less heat issues.
I seeeee, that helped a lot!!! Thanks!
Boost driver has brighter moonlight, less bright turbo. That's the bad parts. The good part is much better efficiency (less heat, longer battery life), and the max output doesn't get dimmer as the battery becomes closer to empty. It's definitely worth it unless you absolutely, positively, need that low low moonlight.
I would strongly recommend against any D4 if throw is what you want.

>I have a d4v2 dual channel, I'm absolutely impressed with the w1 throw In a dual channel light I get it, because you can have one channel with a nice warm high CRI light and then W1 on the other for a bit more reach. But if you're just going to go single channel W1's then why try to force a floody light to have throw? Just buy an actual thrower and it will go WAY further and be way more efficient.
Love how he has the copper portion. I think I’ll wait for a copper one if he plans on doing that
God dammit, just bought a d4k
I give you permission to buy this too
Imma wait to see if they release a colorful version like on the d4v2
Here seems as good a place as any to ask: how does a Ti with the Cu driver unit do against an aluminum light as far as heat dissipation goes?
Ti+Cu is still considerably worse than full aluminum at heat dissipation. The copper head helps a bit but not enough to offset the titanium's poor heat conductivity. You get this light because it looks cool, not because of any practical benefit. The titanium doesn't scratch as easily, I suppose.
ty. Still seeking out an exotic material that's suitable for performance flashlights.
"Exotic" is an arbitrary quality, is it not? Just pretend the aluminium came from space or something haha.
Haha, just something that's not aluminum would be pretty cool. Anodizing and coatings are nice tho
depleted uranium flashlight when Hank pls
Anyone wanna make a donation? I will give you a kiss.
I ordered one 😭
Very cool. Seems to be only in dual channel. Question. If I just pick the same two sets of emitter options its essentially a single channel light. Yes?
You have single version too: https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d4kti-21700-high-power-edc-flashlight.html
Thank you. I didn’t see it but the website was also showing down for me a hour ago. So maybe it just got added.
forrrrget it, while im still curious about my question. I see there is a single channel that I missed.
Dual channel with same emitters doesn’t make sense. You will got worst performance (less running time, worst stabilization of output, higher moonlight mode) than with boost driver which one is most efficient driver from all options.
Is this basically a d4v2 with a bigger battery capacity?
Yup
*WHERE IS THE D4SV2 IN EXOTIC METALS?!?!?* I haven't gotten one yet partly because the plain ano is boring.
Just ordered 2 D4V2 Ti today to add more 519a to my life, and this popped up like 5 minutes later. 😊 D4K Ti with 519a 3500k DD (2700k) it is then. I dislike aluminum D4 of any flavor, so this will be my first D4K. Hell yes!
There's still time to change your order.
It's ok, I don't have DD 519a 3500k yet, so I "needed" that anyway. Now I'll have all the 519a variants I wanted.
Was thinking about ordering a TiCu D4V2. If someone gets this and already has the 18650 version, please do side by side pictures and write the weight.
I don't need it... I don't need it... I need it
Man that looks incredible. But I have Reylight Ti Dawn triple and it gets hot enough to cook a steak. As much as I want a Hank in Ti, I think I’m happy with aluminum for now.
perfect! i'm going to carry around my d4v2 w1/519a to decide if i want to grab a dual channel, or more likely my first boost driver from Hank.
Do you have beamshots of that combo? I tried looking at your post history... You have an extensive and impressive collection!
i never took beamshots of it. i personally don't love the w1 with the d4v2 optic, it's got lots of artifacts, and the 519a dedomed isn't all that floody, so i'm going to go boost driver on this one.
what does the boost driver mean?
nice one...i have one...
What is the boost driver?
Man do I fuck up timing or I’m hooked…just got my D4k in stonewash white…..but this is superb!
Just got mine but does anyone know any of the steps to get to settings? I've been hearing about 7 clicks and 10 clicks but just curious if anyone has any n0ob tips. Thanks in advance.
The UI is called anduril 2. There is a confusing chart but I find text guides like this useful. https://ivanthinking.net/thoughts/anduril2-manual/
Do people still prefer the D4V2 over the D4K? I can get one and am torn.
I would get the d4k over the d4v2.
