    I'm primarily a PVE player and don't enjoy a lot of things about Destiny's take on PvP. But Solstice challenges required hand cannon kills, PvP kills, and super kills. So I loaded up mayhem and ran Sunshot. I'd never used it in PvP before. I had a surprising amount of success with it, even in the midst of the chaos caused by constant supers. There's a lot of value in the clean-up potential of that explosive shot. I'm not at all surprised you pushed it to S-Tier.

    • @GreyGamingGG
      @GreyGamingGG  2 роки тому +3

      That's so interesting to hear! It really is strong and you're dead on, the clean up potential and being able to make use of the explosive shot is powerful. I've been using it a lot more now since making this video and while I always knew it was strong, I'm definitely keeping it on me all the time now!
      Thanks for watching!

    I think hawmoon is definitely S tier depending on your playstyle. I don't think aggressive shotgunners are going to get as much mileage out of it, if I'm in the mix with my opponents of course I want to land precision shots but I'm really just focusing on getting as much damage in as possible in a short window so I won't be taking full advantage of paracausal shots. If I'm playing passive or playing against a team that's very passive however I have an amazing dueling handcannon with top of the line stats in almost every single category and if I'm patient drawn out fights can almost always set up with a two tap or one tap that my enemies won't have available to them. In drawn out engagements hawkmoon will easily decide who the winner is in my experience.

    • @GreyGamingGG
      @GreyGamingGG  2 роки тому +1

      I would agree with you here fully. In the right hands Hawkmoon is easily S Tier to a player who knows how to get the most out of it and play to it's strengths.
      Has a learning curve and punishes bad habits, only reason I placed in A+.

    I spend the majority of my time in PVE, I play PVP sporadically at best tbh BUT! I absolutely ADORE Hand Cannons, I always have at least one in my Inventory of each Guardian!
    I'm currently using my Timelost Fatebringer on my Warlock & actually trying out different loadouts on my Hunter & Titan (Hunter has a Legendary HC in the Secondary Slot) when it comes to Exotic Hand Cannons? There's only two for me with an honourable mention for a third.
    1. Thorn, paired with Necrotic Grips on my Warlock! Usually I run a Disruption Break GL for maximum carnage!
    2. Hawkmoon, I currently have three. Two that I use regularly & one that pretty much stays in my Vault. The Rangefinder Roll Xur sold a week or two ago & a Fluted Barrel, Opening Shot, Heavy Grip Roll I've had since the Exotic Mission was available. The third has Hipfire Grip so doesn't see much use really.
    Honourable Mention: Sunshot! Whilst I'm genuinely annoyed it doesn't spread Scorch with the Solar 3.0 update!!! It still fits into Solar Builds very nicely & who doesn't love massive explosions!?

      Eriana's is awesome 100%, but it being a special weapon just didn't fit it with my main goal, which was to discuss AE on some of these and how they stack up as primary weapons.

    Ace is really good in PVE too (at least for me) I typically focus on Ad clearing as I’m not good with DPS but if you can get a headshot on early spawns it’ll wipe out everything with firefly and the memento mori will help you take down bigger enemies faster too. Plus the reload speed is often overlooked, if you get a precision kill then reload it’s a LOT faster and that really helps

      It does kick pretty hard and if you spam shots at all it can be hard to control. Taking just the slightest moment to line up the shot helps a lot I found. But even body shots with it will flinch the hell out of your target.
