In the last balance updates in 2017, hand cannons have been nerfed repeatedly – the range was reduced by a few meters. Nevertheless, the top two spots are firmly held by this weapon category.
In recent months, there has been constant debate about which weapon is now better: The Eyasluna or The Palindrom. The statistics for the Trials of Osiris speak a clear language now: with nearly 13% of all kills, The Palindrom is a monster in the Trials, confidently leading this leaderboard (for comparison: in second place is the Eyasluna with 8.6%).
The Palindrom, like the Eyasluna, belongs to the Hawkmoon archetype with a punch of 81. It has an extremely high base range and an above-average magazine size:
In terms of base stats, The Palindrom and the Eyasluna are quite similar. Impact, rate of fire, and reload speed are identical. The Eyasluna has a higher stability, The Palindrom a slightly higher range. Greater differences are only noticeable in the hidden stats: The Palindrom has a significantly better aim assist, and its recoil is also easier to control.
Conclusion: Both hand cannons are outstanding. Both can secure many kills in PvP, as the statistics show. In terms of values, The Palindrom has the edge, but its appearance deters many guardians. Regardless of which weapon you choose, you cannot go wrong with either of these two.
