Hand cannons are one of the most popular weapon types in Destiny 2. It’s nearly impossible to walk into a Crucible match where a player isn’t using one, and they are also extremely versatile in PvE. These weapons are among the highest-damaging primaries in the game—it’s easy to see their appeal.
The best hand cannons in PvE should have perks that can clear adds quickly, but also deal respectable damage to majors. The add-clear part often comes in the form of elemental Synergy, with perks like Incandescent and Destabilizing Rounds.
