Faction Hand cannons are also acceptable. I used to use the thorn for everything until I bought the last word. Used that for pvp until I bought TFWPKY 1969. I used THAT until I finally grinded iron banner enough to buy timur's lash. Not very leveled though. Edit: since HoW, I have been using more weapon types but I will always stay true to fatebringer for most PvE encounters and thorn for PvP because your tears are delicious.
Edit 1: just found out about a rare queen handcannon called merciful. Thoughts?
Edit 2: Thanks for all the comments guys! Didn't know this would get so popular. Hand cannon users rule!
Edit 3: We did it guys! We made to highest rated!
Edit 4: FATEBRINGER MASTER RACE!!!
Edit 5: With the massive influx of new Hand cannons I thought it was time for a necrobump.
Edit 6: 4000+ replies! New record!
Edit 7: Just got Ill will and I'm wondering what I should roll for. Suggestions?
Final edit: I GOT HAWKMOON. AFTER HUNDREDS OF HOURS I FINALLY GOT MY PRECIOUS HAWKMOON.

2 RepliesI don't use hand cannons, except for the last word and Thorn... thorn is awesome, Last word is good too. My preference is thorn, but the last word has auto fire, which is a lack in thorn, but thorn has damage over time, so its a toss up

5 RepliesThe Devil You Know will always be my go-to hand cannon. I reached rank 5 iron banner this weekend while using it.

3 RepliesI use the 1969 and love it. Been considering buying Timurs but I've held off considering the clip is smaller.

My level 300 Red Hand IX is great in pvp, although any hand cannon with Rangefinder is a beast, you practically can't miss headshots. I use my 331 version for pve, not quite as accurate as my lower level one but decent enough.

Thorn, last word, fatebringer, tdyk, tdyd. Looking forward to getting word of Crota. Before all that...sir Isaac Newton

PvE: Hawkmoon Fate Bringer Red hand PvP: Thorn The last word Hawkmoon

these are the ones I keep: The Devil You Know - random roll with 12 rounds, it was my first and I still use it quite often The Last Word - once you learn how to use this it's way too much fun to use in PvP Fatebringer - my go-to when things get hairy, not so good against big enemies but nothing handles waves of little mobs like this baby Venation III - looks badass and with Zen Moment and Crowd Control it's one of my best 331 cannons TFWPKY 1969 - again a random roll with Armor Piercing and Luck in the Chamber, high impact and decent range makes it useful in PvP as well as PvE Timur's Lash - latest acquisition with Zen Moment and Grenadier (moar Trip Mines), can't wait to have this maxed!! ...aaaand as I recently got Atheon's Epilogue my Hunter finally has a shot at completing the Thorn bounty )))) on a side note, i play Hunters and use Chain of Woe so I don't really go fo reload speed on my cannons and all the above mentioned serve me really really well xD if I were to pick one though, it has to be The Fatebringer, with Chain of Woe this thing reloads in a blink of an eye and handles just about any situation with such an ease I often have hard times justifying using one of the other ones

1 ReplyI bought The Devil You Know from the Vanguard before the DLC and it's been my go-to primary. I run a hunter and with the Chain of woe in Gunslinger it's beast. And has anyone noticed the Bungie refers to the Vanguard cannons as the Devil You Know and the Devil You Don't? And the old saying goes: the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. And.. you know.. it is. Anyone else notice that?

Rerolled timurs lash 15 times trying to get firefly before I found out you can't get it on timurs lash. Whoops. Crucible though I go with thorn; you'd be surprised how often the devourer perk seals the deal.

Fatebringer!!

1 ReplyI saw some titan who I was paired with for roc strike using a dead orbit hand cannon has anyone else seen or know the name of this gun?

I used the fatebringer for everything. But I must let it go for a 331 weapon. I'd like to get the red hand with explosive rounds though

Fat bringer. It's wrecks enemies, but unfortunately it makes my guardian put on a ton of weight. :(

Fatebringer!!!

Venation III I have had many hand cannons but this one is great. Explosive rounds and range like a mid level sniper. Most of my PVE kills are one shots. I have 3 exotics in my primary and a total of 9 exotic weapons, but this is my go to gun for nearly all fights.

Timers lash and fate bringer. I like thorn and last word but those guns have abilities that separate them from other hand cannons into a class of their own.
