you know 4 of the top 5 most used guns in PVP arnt even HC right now right? if you look at top 20 they dont even represent 25%. its a fairly open meta right now, HC are just a fan favorite.
try the new pulse rifle from season 16, SMG's are strong, couple good AR's right now too.
it just takes finding the right one for you, dont right off a gun cause its not what other people use.

Using data from the first 9 days of a new expansion? When everyone is messing around with the new stuff? When Trials hasn't even been out yet? Seriously? The data couldn't be more skewed. Why don't you look at the date from the last 6 months showing consistent, nonstop HC dominance? 5 of the top 10 weapons in Trials most weekends were Hand Cannons. Can you explain that?

I am aware but even when stuff is new the destiny community has never taken a weaker option for ‘fun’ Could be a lot of reason but they are not an objectively better choice than everything else. Personally my theory is they’re a fan favorite and still good enough that people want to use them. Either way doesn’t make them out of control dominant.

That's very misleading. The first 2 weeks have featured momentum, a mode people do obscure catalysts in, and mayhem, a mode people rarely use guns in other than heavy. If you want proof, along with the fact control is dead bcoz people are tired of it, the top gun across crucible right now is gjallarhorn. Also people are using the red border guns to extract materials. Despite that, 4 of the top 8 guns are handcannons (eyasluna, Ace, last word, palindrome) , there's 2 shotguns, dead man's , and osteo striga. Personally I don't touch control, but you can't argue with numbers

You’re looking at comp and usage specially. Also g horn is second behind osteo. that list you just gave is inaccurate to quick play on destiny stat tracker. Also quick play has highest PvP population 🥴. If you’re talking about a dead playlist it’s comp my man.

Hey my bad, I never even noticed the filter thing lol, Judt clickee top weapons on the tracker home page lol. If gallys top used gun in conp something's very very wrong
-
Hey it’s all good man, it no joke took me years to find. The usage just tracks what’s most equipped. Not what they’re maining. If you look at kills it tells you what people are actively using. Because they’re are so many good legendaries right now people are opting to put on gally. So it’s “usage” is high because it’s equipped. you get the clearest picture by combining both stat pages.

Edited by cycofreak3: 3/3/2022 6:34:50 PMGive it a few weeks, then we'll see what the meta is. I think with the craftable weapons and new perks its all up in the air but once it settles down we'll start to see what emerges. I won't be surprised if it is somehow still hand canons though, they're simply the most consistent weapon type in the game.

Top guns arnt craft weapons though…Hc arnt consistent even. They’re bang or bust. If you miss a crit your ttk drops thru the floor. They’re just a fan favorite. Even looking over last couple months HC have had heavy competition.
