Handcannons
A friend of mine was doing math with the handcannons and he says that the increased power they offer is not worth the amount of kickback and decreased rate of fire. I personally love handcannons, and I often find myself immediately counteracting the kickback, ready for the next shot. My experience still does not dissolve his argument though. Does anybody else who is good at analyzing game weaponry know if handcannons have something for them that other weapons do not?

Idk what this guys are talking about..but my hand cannon in the beginning was the only one that sucked..since than I honestly only use the hand cannon long range short range..captains runaway..knights explode. Idk yea suck it only has four shots but..yea no complaints with it at all not even on kick back..

3 RepliesI'm not a huge fan of them. Every hand cannon that I've found, except for 3 only have a 3 round magazine. Decent impact, sad range, slow reload speed, and 3 round magazines make me want to avoid the hand cannons all together.

It's a phenomenal PVE weapon, but it falls quite flat unless you're pretty good at headshots. It's also a royal pain to deal with captains as they don't take headshot damage until you remove their shield, and if you keep having to reload it's quite easy for them to teleport awkwardly and recharge their shields, thus losing your offensive momentum.

They rock now in the full game. I found one that had 3 rounds (short cylinder i know) but the damage was awesome. If you landed all shots to the body it would take out anyone in pvp.

Havent had a chance to play a PVP with hand cannons yet but in PvE they are awesome, had a lucky drop to get a 7 shots mag size in it and its awesome how easily you can put down even tough targets with a few headshots. I simply prefer it over scout rifle - which is awesome, too!

1 ReplyReally, they don't. And unfortunately, they are way underpowered in PvP. I consider myself to have pretty good target acquisition, and when I get head shots, I barely put a dent into people's health. Extremely annoying.
