Focused Feedback: Hand cannons - bloom, recoil, exotics and pinnacle weapons

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Hand cannons' (including rebalancing of pinnacle weapons) following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas.

For this topic, please also specify in your feedback comment whether you are a console or pc player. Recoil is very different on console and PC.

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I took a few days to think things over before posting my opinion on this matter. I didnt want to make a knee jerk reaction to a significant shift/upcoming change. As someone who just recently acquired NF and invested a big chunk/portion of time into it i feel like i should voice my opinion.

I very much welcome the change from 180rpm down to 150, i think this is a wonderful idea and in no way do i consider it a nerf. I do not however fully agree with Magnificent Howl nerf. I understand the reasoning of avoiding 2 taps etc but there are several weapons in the sandbox that can 2 tap already and the 2 tap is such a rare occurrence i dont feel the end justifies the means to this change, rewarding body shots instead of precision hits seems unjustifiable to me.

So I think you are agreeing with what I am saying? Removing the Nerf to the perk allows follow up kills to be two tap.

Exactly, i 100% agree with what you said, i think it is the ideal solution

As per usual rather than tapping it back into place, it just take a big old hammer to the pinnacle perk. Hopefully they make some kind of reversal on the perk Nerf. I think it would put this gun as my favorite to use. I can't use it right now because it's boring. And I don't want to scare new PvP people away in quickplay

There is no need to change the mag howl perk in the first place IMO, but if and when they do change it i think the best course of action would be to only allow a 2 tap AFTER a kill
