With the March update, the special Nightfall strike rewards made their way into Destiny 2. This week, the next exclusive Nightfall weapon can be claimed – the legendary Hand Cannon T.V.O.. What can this new Hand Cannon do? Is the grind worth it?
After the release of the update 1.1.4 for Destiny 2, Guardians can hunt for Nightfall-exclusive rewards, which can only be obtained after successfully completing the Nightfall strike.
Each boss of a Nightfall strike now has a rare item in its loot pool, which is visually inspired by it and can drop with a bit of luck for Guardians at any difficulty level of the Nightfall upon its defeat.
After the sniper rifle Silikonneurom from the Pyramidion Nightfall, you can now hunt for the next exclusive Nightfall weapon – the Hand Cannon T.V.O.. How does this new Hand Cannon perform in practice?
The T.V.O.
The T.V.O. is a legendary Hand Cannon from the loot pool of special Nightfall rewards and can be obtained in the Nightfall version of the strike “Tree of Probabilities”. Your chance of obtaining this special Hand Cannon increases with a higher strike score.
What Makes the T.V.O. Stand Out
The T.V.O. is a noteworthy Hand Cannon of the Adaptive Frame archetype with a respectable impact of 84.
The weapon has excellent base stats in range, stability, reload speed, and aim assist, and outperforms established competitors like the Spare Rations or Better Devils in these areas.
The T.V.O. can be used in both PvE and PvP due to its perks – however, this Hand Cannon really shines in the Crucible.
With a combination of Polygon Barrel or Extended Barrel as well as the perks Rampage and Steady Rounds, the Hand Cannon performs very well in PvE. Especially against larger groups of enemies, the buffed perk Rampage truly shines. Additionally, you can reload even faster, which enables a higher damage output over time.
In PvP, a setup with Extended Barrel, Enhanced Rounds, and Opening Shot is recommended. This makes the weapon a long-range monster in the Crucible – especially on PC! The high range is noticeable after just a few shots.
The damage drop-off is also minimal at long ranges. The high aim assist of the weapon is quite noticeable (on PS4 and Xbox One) and simplifies some kills. Furthermore, the perk Rampage can prove useful in skilled hands in Guardian duels.
Who Is This Hand Cannon For?
In PvE content, the weapon performs very solidly but does not necessarily replace the existing top-tier options. In PvP, the T.V.O. can truly shine. Anyone who enjoys using Hand Cannons in the Crucible should definitely try this weapon – especially after the changes of the March update.
It ranks easily among the best Hand Cannons in PvP and is definitely worth a recommendation for fans of Guardian duels, provided they already possess it.
