Hand cannons are one of the most popular primary weapon types in Destiny, especially for PVP. In this video, we will go over and rank all of the exotic hand cannons in Destiny 2.
First off The Thorn. One of the most infamous weapons from destiny 1. The thorn was reintroduced during the season of the drifter though an exotic quest, but can now be obtained from the Exotic Kiosk in the tower. Starting off with the stats this is a 140, Kinetic with a magazine of 11. The main disadvantages here are the high recoil and slow reload but with the right mods, this isn’t much of a problem.
The exotic perk, Mark of the Devourer. Rounds deal damage over time and Kill with this weapon leave behind Remnants. Now remnants are these green obs that drop on kills. The other perk Soul Devourer allows you to Absorb Remnants this will strengthen Mark of the Devourer and partially refill the magazine. Thorn is a consistent and deadly exotic hand cannon in PVP. With soul devour active, it can 2 tap guardians!

First nice video
Not really a hand cannon guy, but I might be now 🙂
Hand cannons are just pog overall
I'm having trouble deciding between getting Ace or Thorn. I play on PS4 and I play a mix of everything, I want a hand cannon that I can take anywhere. Please give me any advice. I'm leaning towards Ace because I like range.
Wow I don't know about that tier list but good job .
How dare you not put the sunshot in S tier
sturm with catalyst is a pocketsniper in PvP
Great Tier list, however, as someone who missed on Eriana's Vow from the season pass I just got it through purchase. The catalyst is now obtainable by visiting Banshe-44 after unlocking it so they made it easier now and I feel that may help people who may not want to farm to unlock a catalyst, this one is free.
Malfeasance is amazing on console. Infinite range in the crucible.
I love these type of Videos
Me like hand cannon
synshot
Edit: Also thanks for the usefull list
There are so many mistakes in this tier list it's sad. And I'm not just talking about the placement, that's a whole other story
I only like 2 crimson because of dps and ace of spades because of the lore and im a cayde simp
0:32 has high recoil and 11 rounds in mag?? Thorn has no recoil and 9 in the mag.
Ik you did not put malfeasance that low it can outrange 120s and is an absolute beast
Last Word brings me a ton of nostalgia because it was my first evet exotic back in D1.
Thorn is S tier whiles Ace is A tier… ok, that's a fucking lie but sure.
The only thing that makes eriana bad is the flinch it takes when someone shoot at you
