What's the best hand cannon? I went through the pain of getting Thorn. Though it looks cool, it sucks. Reload is slow.
Can anyone confirm damage for fully upgraded Handcannons?
Handcannons are hated on already. My problem with Thorn is getting it. It is a hard bounty then you get one of the coolest looking weapons in the game that just does not pull its weight. You have the Last Word and Hawkmoon that can be obtained a number of ways and it is better than Thorn. You actually have to earn Thorn by finishing the long bounty.
since this Post started I have acquired TDYK, Timur's Lash, and Hawkmoon [finally]. I also have been using Thorn a lot. My feedback is with TL, you can get great unique re-rolls through the IB reforge system. Thorn is funny to use! Shoot at the ships and you'll see what I mean. Overall it is actually very powerful. Great impact. Easy target precision acquisition. By far though, Hawkmoon is the most balanced. Hawkmoon has ridiculous range and accuracy.
Edit: Asking for damage of fully upgraded HC
Edit 2: Problem with Thorn
Edit 3: New HC

Fatebringer raid hc is one of the best

Thorn needs more ammo! My devil you know slays, my got to weapon when things go south. I just picked up Lord high fixer and so far it's decent.

Love my thorn. Adjusted gear and skills got enhanced reload. Once you get mark of the devourer it turns into a new weapon. 1 headshot 1 axion bolt = death. 2 well placed head shots = dead (give it a tic or 2). Control points.... I just fire as fast as I can and I've gotten the killing blow on 2 guys with 1 headshot. Awesome support gun. Beast out that 50 assist bounty fast. It maybe frustrating at first but practice with it and adapt your build abit. It's really a lot of fun.

Edited by Deathray: 11/7/2014 10:28:55 PMIn pvp it does 84 per headshot and the mark of the devourer does 6 ticks of 7 damage for a total of 42. So on your first shot it does a full 95 damage. Body shots are 55 damage

Edited by BondFF05: 11/7/2014 10:26:50 PMNo love for Lord High Fixer? Fully maxed out it has a buff for reload speed after precision kills. I use it in the Raid quite a bit. - Oh Squarefaceman is on board!
-
Hawkmoon and last word.. i have both but i prefer hawkmoon
-
Fatebringer, the devil you know and then last word In that order for me personally. I dont have the hawkmoon so cant say. But thorn isnt that great. Fatebringer 2 shots almost any enemy in the game
-
Fatebringer. A lot of people say the last word but I really don't like it besides the animation.
-
Hawkmoon is by far the best. I also halve thorn and last word. It's better than both but he last word animation is awesome.
-
Hawkmoon. What I didn't realize is that with Aggressive Ballistics, it does 93.5 damage to the head/63.5 to the body. This is enough to 2HKO/3HKO Bladedancers and Warlocks with no Armor investment [i]without[/i] a bonus damage bullet. Apparently, from what I can tell, minimum health is 186 for an Agility/Recovery Bladedancer. Since half the playerbase is Warlocks/Hunters with Recovery/Agility or Agility/Recovery builds... yeah.
-
I got the devil you know from an engram and the random perks are awesome. 1. Kills return ammo directly to magazine, 2. Perfect balance, 3. Kills restore grenade energy (meh). Sometimes the random perks from engrams make the weapon much better than it normally is.

Fatebringer

All handcannons suck in comparison to all other primary weapons. This has been established. Topic over. K thnx
-
I remember Bungie saying something about buffing it. Anyone know what is the buff or when?
-
Xur will sell the multi pack so you can try all the exotic hand canons this holiday season. The only catch is they will all be skinned to look like that sweater your grandmother knit. Half the guardians will tell you that you didn't earn it if they see you with it though. Blast them away with grandma's vengeance.
-
Hawkmoon
-
Thorn is pretty good in pvp, if you can headshot consistently. Otherwise, every other exotic and just about all legendary HCs are better in just about every way.
-
Thorn is good but I think that they should switch the perk of bad juju and give it to thorn and give thorns perk to bad juju but a guardian can dream right
-
I find the last word best
-
If you have good aim, yes. If you can only land 1 for every 3, you'll want one of the crutch hand-cannons.
-
get a HC with as high an impact as possible, damage doesn't matter as much, especially in pvp, im lvl 29 and i still us a lvl 19 rare HC and its a 2 shot kill (headshots) because the impact is nearly maxed
-
Fatebringer. Can't beat the arc damage type it has, does good overall damage, enemies explode on a precision kill, good reload speed.
-
Crit for 1505 on basic mobs using my lord high fixer
-
I like the last word
-
Hawkmoon. Fatebringer on Xbox.
-
Thorn is fun to use in pvp. It's fun when I get a kill off the dot.
