According to my best knowledge, HCs are supposed to be dueling weapons but
- Close range they are outgunned by SMGs and Sidearms
- Mid range they are outgunned by Pulse Rifles
- Long range they are outgunned by some Pulses and Scouts
(I didn't mention specials)
So where I use it? You can no longer peak shot because most abilities heal you so between two peak they full health.
To HC defense my experience may be negatively distorted by the fact that I'm trying to learn to play really good with Thorn. But I really want to know how should HC be treated regardless.

With aim assistant so high on hand cannons in general peek and shoot seems to be the way for alot of hand cannon users . Hardly any flitch and the range on some of the hand cannons are ridiculous so just keep going ! Hand cannons have been creeping back into pvp a lot . So there are plenty of people doing just fine with hand cannons !

10 RespostasUse them in all ranges under 35 meters. If you’re peak shorting nothing can really beat you. If done optimally no primary weapon can put ttk you. What I suggest is running a hc with moving target and or run high mobility that way you can peek in and out much faster.
