A lot of people are saying that this hand cannon archetype sucks. It doesn’t. You’re just using it wrong. [b]Step 1:[/b] Use your brain. Look at the stats of the gun. They all have high range, but low handling. What does this tell you? USE THE GUN FOR MID-LONG RANGE ENGAGEMENTS ONLY. There’s so many guardians out there using it in SMG or side arm territory. It won’t work well because of how slow it handles and how unforgiving it is if you miss. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. [b]Step 2:[/b] Equip a good close range weapon. SMGs are good. 150 rpm hand cannons are good as well. Side arms can work too. Use your Aggressive hand cannon for longer range duels and your close range weapon if the opponent gets to close to you. [b]Step 3:[/b] Aim for headshots. This archetype is so accurate at range. On top of that, it has high caliber rounds built in. Three tapping opponents is not that difficult if you practice. Side note: Should you use this archetype on long range maps such as Vostok? It’s up to you. These maps have such long sight lines that the hand cannon will not reach long distances. In this instance you would need to equip a scout rifle as your energy weapon. The drawback though is you will not have a close range weapon if your opponent plays Aggressive. You need to be mindful of your opponents distance at all times. I prefer to use Aggressive Hand Cannons on smaller maps such as Javelin-4, Endless Vale, Dead Cliffs, or Pacifica. My favorite ones to use are the Steady Hand or Sturm. I spec my Steady Hand with the crossfire sight and flared magwell. I also have a reload masterwork on it. Crimil’s Dagger is not bad as well. I spec it with The steady hand sight, and armor piercing rounds. I have a reload mod on my chest so I don’t really need drop mag. I will probably masterwork this gun and give it a reload masterwork mod. These tips can be obvious but I hope it helped! Edit: I’ve been using Home for the Lost recently. Spec it with the Hitmark sight and it turns into a beastly hand cannon.
