Why even ask, brought to you buy the same brains that made D1 sticky grenade meta after 3 years of "listening" and killed Crucible, same brains that brought you D2 vanilla Crucible train wreck.

Because they have a pretty large trade-off of trash range and needing all 3 hits to be fairly rapid headshots. If you're stationary, it's kind of hard to dodge seething. You have summoned me.

Because they require SKILL to use. If you cant be precise in rapid succession with luna or not forgotten theyre very average. Hence why they are comp rewards for skilled players. Lunas howl is obtainable by anyone who can at least go postive consistently without using crutches. If youre using a 180 and getting outgunned, time to play a little different or seitch your loadout. The weapons arent unbeatable. Flinch is a mother fücker to deal with while trying to get those crispy 3 taps. Explosive rounds will give anyone using lunas or nf a bitch of a time..

Okay guys I know the only three tapping 180 rpm hand cannons are the Luna and Not Forgotten it was an exaggeration🙄

Exactly! I also find it ridiculous that 180 RPMs have higher range than 140s and 150s. Why would you even use anything else??

180s are the most punishing if you’re not precise, including Luna’s howl and not forgotten. Miss one crit and your “unbeatable” weapon now has a sub-par ttk, much higher than a 140 or 150 rpm. 140s and 150s will 3 tap, and have a much higher body ttk than 180s. Played with nothing g but handcannons since early d1, every archetype has a different play style and a smart opponent will approach their engagements in their optimal range with proper placement giving themselves an advantage. And gun skill is always king.

Only 3 hand cannonscan 3 Tap t 180. Everything else is random roll that requires stuff like kill clip, etc.

Far as I'm aware, only Luna's and not forgotten have the ability to 3 tap, and a very small number of the player base have those guns. There are a number of weapons in the game with less than a 1-sec ttk, so exactly what difference does it make? I've killed enough players who had Luna's equipped to know that owning one doesn't make you invincible. To make something "Obsolete" would require that those weapons were no longer used in the game by any other player, and that's just not the case is it? I see people running with Dukes, Midnight Coups, DFA'S, Better Devils, Beast and the Dreaming city HC all the time, in every game type. The only way a 3 tapping 180 HC will ever make every other HC in the game "obsolete" would be if everyone in the game could just stroll up to a vendor and buy one for legendary shards, and let's be honest now, that's just not going to happen.
