How do you feel about hand cannons now?

Hand Cannons still need more power

Hand Cannons are great the way they are

Hand Cannons are OP

Hand cannons seem to have gotten a slight buff but not near enough. Why would I choose a hand cannon versus a scout rifle when they have pretty much the same damage per shot but one has almost twice as many rounds and a higher rate of fire and both equally accurate if the scout rifle is not more accurate or at least a little easier to aim. The hand cannon can't even get a one shot kill head shot on level 8, granted the scout rifle cannot either but with the limitations the hand cannon has ammo/ROF wise I think it should be a lot more powerful. Literally not enough bang for my buck on the hand cannon. Maybe there are better ones in the full game? But right now they are still resembling what should be a "secondary weapon" not a special but a secondary. Like an "oh no I'm out if rounds in my primary better switch to the last ditch effort to make it outta this!" Any other opinions on these so called "cannons"?

  • I don't know about everyone else but I've had pretty good success with hand cannons in PVP. In fact that's all I use. It really depends on the quality of weapon you have. A lvl 20 rare hand cannon should be about good enough to take out someone with 3 to 4 shots. Yes you have to be quite skilled to use them but once you get used to getting mostly head shots people start dropping like flies. My only gripe with it is that they need to introduce hand cannons that have a reload speed buff. It takes way way to long to reload. Maybe an exotic that has a slot to increase reload speed would be nice.
