I LOVE THORN.

It's so freaking awesome in PvE and PvP.
Yes, it's awful for reloading, on PvE it's not that bad but in PvP, the lingering damage owns. Two to four shots (body, class dependent) and I nail my opponent. I heart my Thorn.

I'm just about finished on that bounty, and it will be going on my hunter with the chain of woe perk. Stack up a couple of precision kills in a row and the reload for any hand cannon is lightening fast.

Its also got the MIDA multi tool which has a maxed out reload, that weapon combined with that perk and 27 in the mag means an almost non stop hail of bullets for PVE. Hand canons suit the hunter class so well.

i read peoples comments how it was awful and thought 'oh it cant be that bad. i bet its a load of internet people being over dramatic after spending ages doing the bounty'. 2 minutes using it and their opinions were confirmed

Exactly!

When I got Thorn, I used it on my Warlock and it was meh. My armour didn't have Hand Cannon Reload perk either. The moment my Hunter got a reload perk in his arms, combined with Chain of Woe and Gunslingers Trance (Stability + the Gun's stability perk), it's a lot better.

e: I have Bad Juju with all it's perk. The initial phase was pants. Once you get the instant reload, it's fine for anything but Nightfall / Raid. What it lacks is impact for something that's essentially a 5 shot clip.
 
The first character is always the hardest.

It's the same in Diablo 3, once you got the first one done, the others that follow can pick up the left overs / RNG class specific stuff.
 
So Hunter armour has more Hand Cannon perks in general? What about Titans and Warlocks? Pretty sure Warlocks have Auto Rifle ones...

Need to buy a Legendary Hand Cannon for my Hunter now!

It was a Vanguard item I got, that's available to Hunter to buy... so naturally :p

My Warlock's raid armour has Scout, so it forced me to use Scout and turned out quite good actually.

e: If you want a good gun you can buy, get it from FWC if you can, The Chance is like Thorn, except no lingering but reloads quicker and more impact. It's my second primary when I need to use Ice Breaker in PvE.

Genuinely pal, don't. Wait for the Last Word exotic. Best handgun by far IMHO, some will argue Hawkmoon. I'll argue the fire rate and cool handspin spin animation on Last Word edges it.

Word has it Xur will be selling it one week, so keep some pennies to one side.
 
Already got both as well as Thorn - need a Legendary to allow me to use Exotics in other slots...

Hawkmoon is probably the best out of the 3, great stats and a massive ammo clip. Very little other than Shielded/Majors/Ultras it won't one hit kill. The Last Word seems to be more useful in PvP...

I think the Bad Juju pvp bounty must have been altered I got this last week and did the 10k points in an evening, got over 1k in my first control match and i suck at pvp.

The hardest part was having to wait for xur to spawn on friday.

You might've just ran into more Warlocks and got more assists. Its worth 25 for Hunter/Titan but 75 for Warlock.

Managed to grind out enough Helium on Sunday morning to get my Titan up to level 28. Annoyingly the hardest part was getting enough Plasteel Plate to do the upgrades...
Solo'd the Nightfall after. Gjallahorn is definitely the one and only contender for Anti-Wizard rocket launcher. Homing rockets, homing cluster bombs. The final wave of the rune door defence died in the middle of a lot of explosions. Lightning Grenade with Arc Burn does some crazy damage. About 3.8k a hit and triggers several times. Killed Phogoth without even realising it and was a little scared to go outside :p

Really, really want this. Again it's said that Xur will be selling this at some point (see the Xur selling table "hack" over on Reddit).

I also had to endure a strike lastnight with someone using a Vex Mythoclast, how jealous I was. Still, my little Suros Regime gave just as a good as an end result.

Need to have a look for that.

Also just to take the mess, bought the 'Truth' when it was on sale last week. Haven't used it yet. Got one rewarded for the Nightfall on my Titan :(

The legendary Arc hand cannon that the Templar drops on Hard is by far the best IMO. A guy from my Templar checkpoint last night was using it and it was doing insane damage to Oracles with the explosive rounds since the Oracle increased damage was applying twice per shot.

I tried to get one this weekend, but the 3 times I tried I got 2 shotguns and energy :(

Its not the hunter armor.

All of the classes have the gauntlets that increase reload speed for hand cannons. The real bonus of the hunter class is two perks for gun slinger, you have chain of woe and gunslingers trance.

Both of these reward chains of consecutive precision kills. They can grant up to a 3 fold boost to stability and reload times respectively.

This applies to any weapon too ,so if you can take down a high level hive / vex / fallen / cabal with lots of crits, it racks them all up and gives you mega fast reload for snipers / heavy weapons and improves the stability.

Its great on hand cannons too, my hunter has "The Chance" from the future war cult. It was a legendary package reward for leveling up FWC on my titan and dropped with the field scout perk which ups the capacity from 6 shots to 13. Absolutely amazing gun with a decent reload. But with 13 in the clip its very easy to get 5 or 6 precision kills when doing PVE which makes the reload lightening fast and by the time your halfway down the clip the stability really starts to improve making sustained kills easier.
 
Last Word user here as well, been using it in PvP for weeks now. Love it, reminds me a little bit of the Halo 1 pistol which may explain why. I bought the Suros over the weekend but I still can't see it replacing my cannon, just feels right for the way I play.

Low clip size means it's not ideal for the volume of enemies you get in PvE, but in the Crucible it's great.

Funny isnt it, here I am trying to make that final little move from 29 to 30, then in reality once I hit it I'll be bored and in your position :D:rolleyes:

Bah, keep on raiding and see what other shiny weapons and ships you can get. Plus, any shards/materials you get will be nicely stored away for the DLC level cap raise (presumably)
 
That's why there's 3 slots, I am 'bored' of my Warlock as I got to level 29, not fussed on levelling 30 as it's just raid armour chance waiting every week. So start a new character and not use the same guns / play style.

That's how you keep the game going.
