HoC vs. GH
Alright so I just got the Hunger of Crota from the raid. I see a lot of debate on the forums of the HoC being better than the Ghorn, what do you think? I haven't been lucky enough to get the Ghorn yet, so I'm not sure.
Edit #1- One great thing about the HoC is the enemy seeking rockets
Edit #2- Seems like a lot of people use HoC if they want to run another exotic
-
If just looking at damage then GH is best, however I find HoC to be better as it lets me use exotic in primary or secondary. Normally I find that if something takes 2 GH to bring it down then it also takes 2 HoC.
-
Gjallarhorn is the best launcher by a mile. With that being said, these posts about NEEDING Gjallarhorn for HM Crota are stupid, HoC works just fine and its a damn good rocket launcher.
-
2 RepliesNo matter how many times I defeat Crota, I only need the HoC to complete TDB weapons
-
No contest, it's just Hezen Vengeance with tracking. Cluster plus Tracking can roll on any legendary launcher so its nothing special, just unlikely you will roll both.
-
if those wolfpack rounds hit, ghally does MUCH more damage
-
People who tell you that HoC is better than GJALLARHORN : 1. People who never had a Gjally. 2. Just don't know what they are talking about. Lets make it clear uninformed people, Hunger of Crota is a REALLY good rocket launcher. But GJALLARHORN = BEST
-
Ghorn (Patriots) > HoC (Raiders) No comparison
-
1 ReplyDoes 50% less damage and holds less rockets (No comparison)
-
4 RepliesPersonally I like running hog and icebreaker than gjhallihorn and black hammer
-
Nothing beats ghorn but if you must run another exotic like red death or suros hoc is the next best
-
Edit 2 is correct
-
So here's the real question, "truth" or HOC?
-
No comparison to the 2. At all, people who compare the 2 are people trying to devalue the G-horn out of pure jealousy. HoC is a great alternative if you want to use a good exotic primary.
-
4 RepliesBoth are the same if u ask me. HoC's cluster brings dmg way up on crota. Wolf pack on GH does nasty dmg too
-
Edited by BIGwillestylz: 2/23/2015 5:44:11 PMIt's not better then gh but better then the other options
-
It is not better than gally
-
It's a great weapon if you don't have a gally, or are not using it. Ice breaker and HOC are a good combo or gally with black hammer
-
Edited by Raven_samhain: 2/23/2015 5:25:49 PMHunger of crota is good for when you want to run with icebreaker or any other exotic in special/primary slot but gjallarhorn is the best rocket launcher hands down imo. it isnt the best weapon in the game as i think that would go to icebreaker.
-
4 Repliesthe hunger of crota compared to Gjallerhorn is like the abyss defiant compared to the suros regime
-
6 RepliesAs an experiment me and a friend tested out each rocket launcher on a level 30 shrieker. A maxed out HOC cannot kill it with one shot but a maxed gjallarhorn can. The Ghorn is simply stronger than any other rocket launcher.
-
I have both and use both regularly for different weapon load outs and let me assure you, for single-target damage HoC is not even viable to be called a mini GHorn as the GHorn simply annihilates a single target like no other weapon can even imitate (though still excels in groups as well), whereas HoC cluster bombs barely touch the original target and are far more suited to taking out a group of smaller enemies. In my opinion GHorn deserves all the hype it gets though by no means is HoC not still a great launcher.
-
Don't smoke crack
-
3 RepliesGjallarhorn is obviously better, but in all honesty I'd rather run with icebreaker and HoC than Gjallarhorn and black hammer.
-
Loadout of fatebringer black hammer and ghorn just as effective as fatebringer icebreaker and hunger .
-
Sorry bud. Nobody has ever said that it was better than ghorn hahahaha
-
The issue with any other rocket launcher besides Ghorn is that unless they have wolfpack rounds (which they do not), the cluster rockets will never 100% hit your primary target. When you are talking about single target damage, the initial explosion plus all the wolfpack rounds make it pretty much impossible for any other rocket launcher to come close to Ghorn damage. The only thing that slightly helps HoC is the hive disruptor, but that doesn't make it close to being better/on par for single target rocket damage.
