The Last Word was among the best hand cannons in Year 1, alongside the Falkenmond – and so it is now. These two exotics consistently appear at the top of current leaderboards.
The Last Word is a hand cannon with low impact and increased base fire rate. The range, which is important for hand cannons, is terrible:
Although the weapon has no good base stats, it has been one of the most popular weapons in Destiny for years. The reason for this lies in its unique perks:
Last Word: Improved stability and aiming precision when firing from the hip.
Hip Fire: Additional precision when firing from the hip.
Fan Fire: The weapon can be fired rapidly and continuously.
Thus, the weapon enables a unique yet popular playstyle: Like the gunmen from cinema, you draw the weapon and fire the bullets at insane speed towards your enemies. However, as the Last Word only has 8 shots and the bullets are quickly fired, you must always keep an eye on the magazine.
Conclusion: If you like this playstyle, you can’t go wrong with the Last Word even after 2.5.0.2.
