The new shotgun handcannon is an issue in PvP
The new shotgun handcannon is annissue in PvP. It’s faster then the quickswap bow + handcannon that has been nerfedbecause it got out of hand.
Now we have ability + shotgun handcannon. It is so fast you can’t even fight it.

Nah, invis and titans hiding behind over shield barricades are the bigger problem.

4 RepliesEven more annoying getting killed by a weapon I can’t GET!! I was on vacation Arms week. I have not been able to find any other way to acquire this weapon. Bungie BS

2 RepliesThey meant to do that and make all prior weapons irrelevant. If you dont do the new DLC and get weapons you wont be competitive. Thats why Crucible has no numbers along with rest of the game right now.

Hunters are your enemy. Not the rad new handcannon which you can counter with Aggressive Burst Sidearms.

Luckily Bungie has a great team of testers...................... Which is us... oh crap...

It's the ability up time, especially with throwing knives paired with that handcannon that makes the ttk faster than any gun on the market. In addition, it requires very little skill to pull it off to win a 1v1 engagement. Hopefully the developers find a way to address this nonsense, or players will become increasingly more fustrated with this type of meta.

5 RepliesEdited by Vs.Cruel: 8/31/2025 2:04:15 PMI completely agree. It irritates me that I created 2 topics about this - and they both get downvoted by the community. Why is it like that here?
-
Zero issues in control, trials is a whole nother issue though due to lack of special. in control getting special ils easy and plentiful that the sghc isn't as oppressive.

5 RepliesYah it needs to be tuned. Also Eishas embrace and side arms need a tune down.

Shotgun handcannon is free because the opponent does not have to gamble whether you have special or not. It shows whether you have it or not in the top bar where your super is. In control this aint an issue but in trials its so much info, depending on what the enemy is running, its basically free pushes for days. Also, trials special ammo feel atrocious, I went 5 rounds with no special while winning, I have to slow down gameplay for it. Why?

2 RepliesBungie: lets nerf special weapons in PvP Also bungie: lets create a primary shotgun completely bypassing our nerfs. Hc shotgun is nice in theory but in practice a little op.
-
I knew this was going to happen from the start that someone was going to find a way to exploit it the same way as a shotgun It should have been special ammo from the start but also buff regular shotguns to keep them from being over taken by them Honestly what they should've done is brought back in doing legendary 110 handcannons or try creating a Legendary last Word "Fan Frame"
-
They do this every season so you have have to buy the expansion for the new weapons or just get slaughtered. It'll eventually get nerfed, but it'll take about 2 seasons. That's the average..
-
Hand cannons period, are still an issue after all these years. They've dominated since the dawn of time, and it's getting pretty old.
-
1 ReplyYeah it was a pretty -blam!- stupid decision and hand cannons are always been broken now they decided to add another -blam!- overpowered hand cannon in to the mix bunch of morons Bungie the unemployment line is calling you guys 🤦
