Hand Cannon Help

I'm hoping to get some advice and/or pointers on the usage of hand cannons. I have a nice Eyasluna(currently on my male Titan). It's got Rescue Mag, Handloaded/Oiled Frame/Casket Mag, and Luck in the Chamber. Currently have SteadyHand IS equipped. My problem is I suck with hand cannons. And it feels like a waste leaving that gun on the shelf. I seem to have an issue with aiming down sights. Is there a trick to what I need to be aiming at? Do I go off the reticle or the barrel, etc? I can't seem to hit my mark consistently while other times I 2 and 3 shot kill people. Any advice/pointers would be much appreciated!

  • I've been using hand cannons since day 1. They are fun once you get the hang of them. Your Eyasluna is godly, wish I had that. Lol Screw you Lord Shaxx, why are you not giving me an eyasluna... So anyways, ignore that rage... Practice in Skirmish. Aim but always aim for body up. Headshots are godly for Hand cannons. One headshot can lead you to winning a duel especially if it's a luck in chamber... But remember, if you are in a state of panic, (2v1 or dying and need a fast kill) don't aim for head shots, you'll get killed by the time you get your first 1. Another thing is, Hand Cannons have naturally high aim assistance. Abuse it when you can, hence the reason I tell you that if it's a normal 1v1 and you are not in trouble yet, just aim for body and higher. The recoil will point the reticle slightly higher up the body and the aim assistance can help you land that lucky head shot bullet. Lots of info eh? Well a lot of the stuff I said seems complex because I am being overly stupidly complex. You'll see what I mean in time. Hand Cannons are fun once again when you learn to use them. Your Eyasluna is amazing, it will help you a lot in 3v3 modes and will be really awesome in Trials. Good luck m8, this is FaZe advice. (Lol jk)
