For those who don't know or remember three-tap hand cannons from Destiny 1, hand cannons such as the Eyasluna were legendary for their ability to kill in PvP with just three precision shots. Especially in Destiny 1's Year 3, three-tap hand cannons became a favorite of PvP players for their quick time to kill. And, in a teaser trailer that Destiny 2 developer Bungie just released for a livestream next week that will cover combat changes coming to the game in Forsaken, there is a clip of a hand cannon (which looks like Better Devils) that kills a Guardian in just three shots to the head.




Things are looking amazing for Forsaken's PVP..

Quickplay has already been made miles better since the 6v6 update. I wish they would dump like 5 or 6 original D1 maps into D2 though. We don't need them to be reskinned to match D2 areas. It's fine.

I need me some Rusted Lands though.

And Competitive is just a disaster for solo players right now.

Nice, I hope high impact scouts also returns to being 3 tap, they are so shitty in D2.

This is threadworthy IMO. Not being sarcastic either. A small piece of me wishes I stuck with D2 like I did D1 then I remembered what a time sink it was more me.

Better Devils ruined D2 for me. I got it early on and have never been able to switch off it even through the expansions.

The only thing that will make me interested in Destiny pvp is to remove the radar

I still don't get why team shooting is so effective in D2, even now. In D1 I can challenge multiple opponents by myself and feel like I have a 50/50 chance of coming through. In D2, if I end up in a 1v2, I'm done. Like, there is literally no chance. And this is despite the TTK being higher in D2. Maybe it has something to do with the map design.

Hand canons are fine, but they seem to also be promoting sliding shotgun spam which is what ruined destiny 1 pvp for me. Shotguns being a power weapon was a great change that I wish they weren't reverting.

I like the change in weapon slots, but yeah not looking forward to the Hawthorne's, Ikelos and Acrius loadouts that some people are going to run in pvp

There is literally nothing that would make a bigger improvement to this game than Eyasluna rate of fire three tap HCs making a comeback. I'd take that over any amount of content, any day of the week. Hell I'd pay for Forsaken if it brought this and changed nothing else.

I've always been so terrible with hand cannons, I hated when they were the only viable primary in D1.

Bungie can try any anti consumer practice like liyning about the content of the game, taking back some content if you dont buy DLC or the whole Everversum if they know they can shamelessly crawl back to some people like this.

And get praised like this.
