I originally thought the idea of using Hand Cannons during the Raid was preposterous. During the Conflux defense I decided to goof off and use mine. Little did I know, it wrecked goblins in a single critical shot!! Enemies don't seem as many, when they are disposed of so quickly.
During the Final Atheon, supplicants can be killed before they can make it off the Timegate.
Edit: Thanks for the responses!!

Edit 3: Over 700 response!! Who's ready for the DLC content! Looking for info on Trials of Osiris Hand Cannon right now
4:I haven't used a Hand Cannon during the new raid yet. It seems impractical as Vex and VoC are the most effective so far; Vex more so. Firefly could backfire on Fatebringer given the aggressiveness of thralls.

hand Cannons can easily carry you through a raid if you know how to use them.
-
I can't use anything but hand cannons now, it takes far too long to kill an enemy with an assault/scout/pulse compared to a hand cannon.

Edited by Afawafa: 11/20/2014 11:10:33 PMMy Lord High Fixer leaves normal Supplicants with a little bit of hp left when it crits them. Are Timur's Lash or other hand cannons with higher impact strong enough to one shot them?
-
U thought the same then got fatebringer like 2-3 weeks ago and used it. Omg was I wrong Fully maxed it and now that gun doesn't leave my side for anything
-
I wish I was good with hand cannons. They look incredible fun to use and are incredibly good in iron banner as far as I can tell.

been playing for quite a while with handcannons, started with the devil you know from the vendor, after that i got a Hawkmoon and i gotta say this weapon is just a beast and i love using it almost 52k HC kills, nuff said
-
Welcome to the hand cannon world, my friend. As far as i'm concerned, the devil you know (now i use fatebringer) is the only gun in the game.... Everything else is just fluff. I do use a few other guns, but 90% handcannon.
-
I have a devil you know with field scout so the clip size is 13 with 106 bullets in reserve. its maxed out and crits the hobgoblins with something like 1650. i had the same frame of mind as you but now i rarely use other primaries in vog, apart from Voc
-
I use my hawk moon in hard raids...its badass
-
... Now I have an image in my head of hand cannon kill sprees in the Crucible put to Aladdin's "A whole new world". Thanks...

Truly Handcannons are the best weapon of choice in almost any given circumstance. I've been pro HC since the Alpha and that will never change. Recently I have acquired the Hawkmoon and let me tell you, nothing compares to it. While the Last Word reigns in CQC, Hawkmoon is pretty much the perfect overall HC. And if You have Gunslingers Trance active, oh boy, the only way to not get a headshot is to be not shooting at the target!
-
I received fatebringer and that handcannon freaking wrecks! I love it.
-
Welcome! Handcannons are pure devastation. I use TDYK for PvE, got one with perfect balance and kills = quick reload. Combined with hunter perks it's such a demolition gun in raids. I have new handcannons to level up (a Timurs lash and lord high fixer) and compare with. If I get Fatebringer I'll be happy, I see a lot of hype around it. TLW is unstoppable in PvP. My Fireteam has won over 20 IB games on the bounce over the past two nights and the consistent top four of us use TLW.

Edited by Given: 11/21/2014 3:44:07 AMIf only I could get Hawkmoon and fatebringer my collection would be finished. I could care less about any other exotics until the primary sniper comes out
-
Welocme to hand cannon land. I exclusively use hand cannons for everything. Like someone here said the drawback is running out of ammo which is why you need to make shots count. However, If you look at the hand cannon I use I most of the time never have an ammo problem. I get 14 rounds a clip. Enough to kill several guardians in the crucible or 14 goblins. They are AWESOME!! In IB my headshot hit for 86....That's alot of BLAMMING damage
-
Hand cannons are great until you get to oracles. They have a 40%(I may be wrong on the exact number, but it is significant) damage penalty to oracles. It takes me more than one full magazine from a leveled TDYK to kill one.
-
Faitbringer -blam!-s shit in the raid
-
Yea it's so awesome Handcannons kick ass
-
they so overpower
-
Welcome to the club! Hand Cannons rock.
-
I just got Timur's Lash to drop in Iron Banner!! I'm gonna level it after Mythoclast. I like that it has lightweight, it's one of my favorite perks!!
-
I love using hand cannons. Especially the last word :3
-
I wish it one-shotted in hard mode.
-
I am marveling at how little nastiness there is in this thread. It must be that we hand cannon users are just superior people in all respects. ;)

professionals use hand cannons (>")>
