Anyone been able to use handcannon's effectively in crucible?
Everyone obviously has their preferences for what weapons they bring to the Crucible and the occasional gripe about one or the other being OP. But so far I've seen the 2 or 3 Guardians bring a handcannon to the Crucible. I've done it myself a few timesand while I love the hitting power the limited clip combined with the short range makes it seem like a poor comparison to the Scout rifle. Has anyone had better lick using cannons in PvP? Because the legendaries seem to make it feasible of you have a steady aim and can get the drop on people.

I would say I'm average but I have 11 rounds in one clip and my hand canon is a blue one so yeah

dude.. the people who truly master pvp are rocking hand cannons to DEVASTATING effect. two head shot kills.. 3 body shots.. 11+ rounds per reload once you get to higher lvl blues and up.. very very viable.. but you have to master the aiming

2 RepliesI actually really lucked out and around level 15 got a blue drop on a hand cannon and have been using it /built my skills around it and am at level 21. With a bit of practice in PVE in terms of aiming more deliberately and conserving shots I've found i perform much better in pvp and have consistently been in top 3 in game or on my team after switching to handcannon (my headshot kill rate went way up as well) . I even won a free-for-all yesterday which felt like a huge deal for me since I haven't really played competitive multiplayer in a shooter since Halo 3. TLDR; with some practice and the right skill/armor buffs hand cannon works great (also gotta admit I love out handcannoning hunters with my lock.

My exotic hand cannon wrecks everyone!

They improve with a high capacity cylinder. I use the devil you know, and with 12 rounds, high stability, and massive impact, I can take people out quite reliably.

I can use one very effectively in crucible. Three shot kill as long as 2 hit the head for mine. If the first two hit they are literally left with enough health that if the wind blows on them they die.
