pvp handcannons

[plush dragon]

Why do people use legendary hand cannons mostly the austringer over exotics like ace of spades/crimson. Even if the don’t have an exotic in any other weapon slot.

Is the Austringer just that much better stat wise so it’s better than the exotics with extra perks overall?

[fresh mango]

the same could be said for eyasluna and timelost fatebringer

the reason is the perks on those guns can extend the range past exotic falloff or have perks that excel at dueling

also they might feel more personal, and as such more fun to use

really it's personal preference at the end of the day though, whatever people like more they'll use more and that's that

but crimson is a weird handcannon

not saying that negatively necessarily, but its behaviour is not really comparable to any other handcannon

[plush dragon]

is there any good engery slot exotic that pairs well with a legendary kinetic handcannon ?

[fresh mango]

duality

cloudstrike is nice

[slow lantern]

dead messenger is fun. shoot a nade and then finish them with handcannon

oh wait you said kinetic

[plush dragon]

which perk is better nowadays on austringer after recent nerfs/buffs , rangefinder or opening shot ?

[fresh mango]

rangefinder is still fine, more up to preference nowadays

[plush dragon]

what would be your prefered roll (all 4 perks)

[slow lantern]

corkscrew rifling
extended mag
outlaw
rangefinder

if you dont want extended mag then get high caliber rounds

[fresh mango]

go for eye of the storm or snapshot instead of outlaw, they'll help slightly more with dueling

i'd go for full-bore, smallbore, or corkscrew, then high caliber or ricochet rounds

[slow lantern]

im addicted to outlaw
