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.

professionals use hand cannons (>")>

I love handcannons; they can change your whole playstyle in a really cool way. They're powerful and can tear through enemies. I have Hawkmoon which I'm uprading, TDYK (which is a GREAT weapon), and Timur's Lash.

Edited by OniAngel808: 11/21/2014 12:20:04 AMI do well with the hand cannon as well. It is ether the reticles or some aim assist that makes it easier for me to pop those guys even the ones on the tiny islands. The scout lacks impact and the other guns cant one shot so they proc gob shields. Oracles are the only slight shortcoming I have found. I really want the raid hand cannon.
-
It still surprises me that very few people know how amazing hand cannons are for PVE content. My TDYK with send it has nearly as much range as my scout rifle, and precision shots are usually fatal for trash mobs.
-
VOC is just as strong if you're good at critting. But I don't hate on hancannons. Just too much downtime on the reload. You can wipe at Oracle's if you're not paying attention lol.

New world?america was discovered long time ago xD Welcone to.the world of handcannons
-
fatebringer is just nasty for the raid. and im not a big fan of people using primaries on atheon, but a lvl 30 with a maxed fatebringer crits atheon for just under 3k not counting what the explosive rounds hit for. hawkmoon is prob pretty beast to(but i dont have it). but hands down fatebringer is one of my go to weapons for everything... even the raid.
-
Fatebringer has refreshed the game for me. I love taking out mobs with one shot.

"A new fantastic point of view?" DONT YOU DARE CLOSE YOUR EYES!

Welcome to the new world, Jasmine.

If you come from a CoD background then I can understand why you didn't like anything thats not an automatic. Alot of people now realise how good hand cannons are now. Glad you can see it too.
-
I feel the same way about scout rifles.
-
Edited by JDn3D: 11/20/2014 11:07:25 PMCan't beat that strong ass aim assist
-
I can solo any Conflux on Hard with Fatebringer, Fusion rifle, and Truth
-
I really like hand cannons in everything other than raid just because I feel like it doesn't take Praetorians down fast enough compared to the epilogue. It's great for everything else in the raid though.
-
they reward a good hand. they punish you heavily if you are bad with them, but they reward you greatly if you know how to use them
-
I got red hand ix but it's not that great. The regulator carried all three of my characters because it had two range and stability buffs.
-
I've been using TDYK since I hit 20, until I got my Last word, I went through 3 characters using this gun (TDYK) and ran threw the VOG at least 15+ times using this and Ice Breaker. Instead of Shotty Snipes, I play Pistol Snipes
-
i'm a pistol specialist (i've used all the ones i'm listing i haven't used all the hand cannons) and i recommend , The Devil You Know (vanguard hand cannon, 12-13 shots [GREAT SIDE ARM]), lord high fixer (crucible hand cannon, 11-13 shots [good but slow reload [it could be better but the version i used didn't have any reload up so ah] Last word (LOVE IT 8 shots hip fire just about equal to aiming down the sight) and that's all i hope this helps someone and i hope to see more hand cannon users. :) see yea everyone
-
I only own fatebringer, TLW and TDYK.... But i love them so hard! Hope ill get my hands on a hawkmoon soon
-
Hand cannons are awesome for almost anything provided they have a high clip count and fast reload
-
never touched one until I got my hawkmoon 2 days ago. I really regret no trying one sooner
-
The devil you know fully upgraded I use in the raids, one shot them vex!
-
Hand cannons and scout rifles rule the roost in the raid
-
Yay hand cannons!! I love using my maxed Hawkmoon in the raid :D
-
I welcome you warmly into our Hand Cannon Master race :)
