Hand cannons = PvP easy mode

In competitive game modes all I see is hand canons. Over and over and over. Boring! Try something new ya sweaty sheep! I’d love it if they needed all hand cannons to the ground just to hear y’all lose your minds for a bit.

  • I see alot of sub 1kd people complain about hand cannons. Let's be real, you miss a shot with a hand Cannon and your screwed. Autos and pulses are far more forgiving.

  • I personally think every gun has ‘easy’ aspects. I think no one can say that a handcannon is a ‘skill’ weapon as it has the largest aim assist cone of any gun but I just think everyone should be allowed to use what they want without any labels

  • If they are good players they can wreck you with any primary. Hand cannons are just the most efficient. Stop crying 🍼

    • I mean with Handcannons, you at least have to be up and in the middle of battle whereas with say Scouts or Pulses, people just sit back as far as they can and just hide the whole time. Game is more fun when people move around the map at least in my opinion.

    • All guns in this game are easy to use. People use hand cannons because of their ability to peak shoot and do a lot of damage in a single shot. Cry more.

    • Easy mode is auto, scout and pulse rifles. I use them, my KD goes up. I don't and use Hand Cannons.... it staggers back and forth.

      • 140s are very hard to use at a high level. Autos and pulses aren’t hard. Your .88 is why you’re struggling not HCS.

      • Hand cannon mains are easy to take down because they all have the same play style. I don't understand why everyone is upset over repetitive play styles in this game.🤷

        • Well if everybody is using handcanons. This means everybody is equal. So what determines the outcome of a gunfight is aim and skill XD

        • They actually require the most skill besides aggressive sniping.

          • Eh, autos definitely have the highest ease of use but hand cannons are close. Aim assist on hand cannons are still way too high and they are too consistent from range still. Other than that, they're fine. You fix those 2 problems, and they are sitting in the exact spot they need to be in: a close to mid range precision weapon.

          • They Call it Meta... yea ever since Handcannons touched the Light they are Meta... D1: Handcannon Meta till this Game is Dying D2: Handcannon Meta Till bungie buffs another Gun that has now More ease of use than Handcannons D2s Meta is the most boring i have seen in a Looong Time... 120s got a slight nerf and are still super strong... Everyone runs Rampant with Ace cuz its easier... Handcannons are the equivalent of No Skill... you have no Accuracy penalty after running, you have massive aim assist and bullet magnetism, Flinch... XD you can still kill someone that is unloading an entire Autorifle Mag in your Head.... Handcannons play the game for yourself... i loved the Auto rifle and Hardlight Meta... Why?... Cuz it was Fun seeing other Guns being used than only one Type (Handcannons)

              Peek shooting Highest single shot damage potential Highest aim assist Range covers most maps Best recoil direction Best sights Best accuracy while jumping Best team shot potential Highest flinch on shot Pairs best with snipers and shotguns Yeah it's pretty easy to see why hand cannons are the best primary to crutch on.

              • They are just so easy to abuse, I use thorn to tag them and get easy clean ups after that. Hand cannons have peek shoot advantage and no penalty to bloom after sprint, hit boxes in the game are gigantic so its almost impossible to miss. A couple of mods and you never take flinch again, high burst of dps with an extremely forgiving range, hand cannons will always be meta. The only time they were ever actually balanced was the range nerf they had before 600 auto rifles got nerfed. That range nerf was all it took for players to want to use scouts, auto rifles and pulse rifles for range. Hand cannons were still good, they just weren’t the jack of all trades like they currently are.

              • Its not so much that they are the meta that pisses me off its the fact that you can 1, put 3 bursts from a pulse / half an AR mag into them and not even take out the shield because of range fall off but they can turn and 2 tap from a longer distance 2, Cronus users running auto fire / no recoil / Jitter mods 3, Console users running Cronus M&K setups Stop people using Cronus setups and then only people using them will be the real skilled but that wont happen till they figure out how to spot them (easy to spot for the no recoil users and jitter mod)

                • They really are. It's annoying how little I have to try when using a HC. Really makes me frustrated when I use anything else.

                  • Its the flinch of handcannons that are the problem. Youre still flinched through 2 unflinching mods which is somehow a thing.

                  • Hand cannons are not for noobs, it takes more skill to use....I suggest you try with autorifle and shotty to get good first
