I think Bungie nerfed them into the ground. Without their range, they can't compete with scouts and pulses. I still see the Last Word around, but it will always be the fastest-kill hand cannon.
Agreed? Sad to see their legacy end. Maybe, one update, they'll be back in all of their glory.
Edit 1: yes yes the last word is still the most-used gun ever. Even after nerfing, that thing still destroys for some reason.
Edit 2: First Curse anyone?

Thorn in yr 1 was a lot of fun. No other HC compares.

New monarchy handcannon

I use hand cannons all the time. Tho right now I've been working with bad juju till I get that ace of spades. I won't let some silly nerf keep me from playing how I want

10 RespuestasWhy the hell should a hand cannon have range??? They are not meant to have. We have rifles for range. Greetings from a "reallife hunter".

4 RespuestasMy friend, have you used The First Curse? I have it at 318 light on my warlock. It's all I use in the crucible now, the thing is a beast!
-
5 RespuestasFirst curse. It's a beast. Just have to learn it. Also I suck at PVP.
-
1 RespuestaHand cannons suck besides the exotic ones. I miss my tfwpky and a couple other ones I had. They were really rewarding and fun to use. They're not fun to use anymore because the range is trash and anything outside of close range connects so inconsistently it's not even worth using.
-
1 RespuestaThe iron banner handcanon and hawkmoon are still good
-
My main issue with them in PvE now is ammo... It's just an extra handicap.... In PvP, as long as you have some kind of range perk and don't engage irresponsibly, it's still very good.
-
Byronic hero with litc is good and it can 2 shot
-
Try imprecation it's insane x
-
In the right hands, Hawkmoon, First Curse, Fulcrum, Last Word, Eyasluna will still dominate in the Crucible. I've been on both ends of most these handcannons to know.
-
Fwc Handcannon handles nice. Just not at far ranges.
-
The one on my Hunter has pretty good range
-
2 RespuestasIt's designed to win all close quarters 1v1's no more no less
-

Last word does, or did, what it was supposed to, which was destroy in close to close/mid quarters. It's the impact of a hand cannon, which is supposed to be huge damage to compete with the spray of auto rifles, but it's exotic because it can fire full auto. So yes, it does what it was intended to do. Destroy close up. Unfortunately, it occasionally gets really long ranged, and then it gets OP
-
I would use my fulcrum but I don't want to upgrade it
-
They are fun only not really winning consistently...
-
I haven't seen a HC drop worth a damn. Definitely ain't seen a Red Hand replacement and I don't use exotics. When they we're fun yes but they got trendy so no. All the rolls on my Imago drops have sucked.
-
I use my Hawkmoon in PvP and my Eyasluna in PvE. They're still there.
-
1 RespuestaI know its been nerfed into the ground, but I still swear by hawkmoon for everyday crucible, and Iron Banner.
-
Agree - cannons need some balance love. Disagree that their dead - it just takes a specific set of perks.
