Hand cannons need to be less accurate at medium to long range

The two shot kills are ok at close to medium range, heck Id be fine with a one shot kill close up of it was a headshot. It is called a hand cannon after all. But being killed by one in even 3 shots at longer ranges? It's a little much. Nobody is really that accurate with a pistol/handgun.

    It's a high risk-high reward weapon: Slow reload, small mag size, excellent range and damage output. It's not a "pistol" or a "handgun"; it's a HAND CANNON. The very name implies it has power.

  • I'd much rather they fix the Auto Rifles that can put up a massive highly-accurate wall of bullets before most people can even get the second HC shot off.

  • And no one runs around with a sniper pulling off multiple head shots at close range. It happens. Play better

  • It's not easy to do with a hand cannon really. Takes more skill than the sniper. And more hits

  • I have more of an issue with auto rifles having pinpoint accuracy at range. They should have a steep drop of damage after midrange.

      A sniper rifle can down you in 1-2 shots at longer ranges. Even a head shot with a hand cannon takes at least 2. Plus hand cannons max out at 12 or 13 shots with most having somewhere between 6 and 10. The devil you don't only has 5. So you don't have a lot of chances to miss. And almost all of them have a slow reload. They hit hard and reward precision. And honestly some people in this game have ridiculously good aim.

      • You're bringing the "realistic" aspect into a game that is set hundreds of years in the future?

      • Handcannons reward precision (save for TLW perhaps, but that's just a cqb function.) I don't see why their range is an issue personally.

        • Nor should any body be accurate at those ranges with automatic weapons. But then there are lots things that happen in this game that are NOT possible with current technology.

          Guardians aren't even normal humans. They're clearly superhuman.
