Currently Slowing Bullets is almost never purchased because of its Spirit equivalent 'Slowing Hex' being an active you can apply instantly and silencing movement abilities for the same price.
Slowing Bullets ends up being a waste of a slot currently as it provides no Damage bonuses and provides very little gun investment as a 1600 item and eventually requiring you to sell it later.
Backstabber has the same investment issues, people buy it because the unique bonuses it provides are good, but for an item that's so unique it having no upgrade is honestly confusing, having to sell it later to free up a slot sucks because it provides very useful stats that only it provides.
I think adding a T4 that combines these items and buffs their effects like my example above is a great way of making these items more widespread and useable.
Especially right now when so many Heroes can play with bad positioning and easily escape due to builds/kits that provide insane amounts of movement speed like Victor, or because they have a 'get out of jail free card' ability built into their kit like Wraith. There needs to be better gun investment counters to such things.
Honestly I wish Deadlock had more items that upgraded from multiple items.
