Hand cannons and PvP
Please for the love of god stop making handcannons the best option in PvP they are the best at any distance you have given them some of the best perks in the game when it comes to TTK they are way to useful in any situation. I wish we had a PvP mode with no weapon perks no abilities PvP is way too chaotic and chaotic is fun yes but hard to take seriously and is the reason PvP in this game is a joke I’m not mad I’m just bored of the same overused loadouts and want something more toned down and team oriented.

They’re not the best option.

1 ReplyTry using a rapid fire pulse. I've been a hand cannon main for years, but as soon as I put that thing on (claws of the wolf, but the new one is even better), I realized that I've been handicapped. Rapid fire pulses are... Way too good.. Like way... way... to good. So no, hand cannons are not the issue. I don't think I'll use one again during this meta.

1 ReplyBrother, 140 handcannons have been nerfed into oblivion. Yes 120's are still pretty good, but easily counterable by pulses or scouts. If anything, 140's could use a range and damage buff.

20 RepliesMeta right now is the trials pulse. Handcannons will always be good but they are not the meta currently.

Edited by Rainbine 9545: 12/31/2025 9:09:52 PMI would agree if pulse rifles were not just as strong since I recall when Redrix’s estoc showed up and how that dominated every bit of pvp

3 RepliesHand cannons should be deleted from the game entirely!

Pulse rifles are THE best option to use right now. HC’s are a good option but there are so many better options.

2 RepliesEdited by Seiryoku: 12/30/2025 5:58:38 PMLmao. Pulses of every kind have been the best option in PvP since 2022 to the detriment of the playlist.

12 RepliesHCs aren’t even close to the best weapon anymore, rapid fire scouts and 450 pulses destroy them. 900 RPM smgs will beat everything on some maps rn.

PvP is tedious ….hiw are people still playing control for 4 hours a day seven day aweek?!

Edited by iidaptive: 12/31/2025 4:38:16 AMThey aren’t the meta friend. You just relate hand cannons to the meta cus you’re dying to them but the fact is good players gravitate towards HCs because they compliment movement the most. So you’re simply very likely to die by a HC but they’d kill you with a wet piece of bread too

6 RepliesAs your stats indicate you’re a below average to average crucible player. Hand cannons are not the meta right now a good hand cannon will lose a lot of the times to scouts and pulses at almost any range. People that tend to use hand cannons instead of the fully auto guns tend to be better at aiming tho.

2 RepliesWelcome to the Destiny Meta since 2014 If it even looks like being any other gun the forum is flooded with salty tears and Bungo switches it back the next update.

There’s a very good reason they are known as… overpowered handcannons
