It’s risk-reward. Other weapons have better range, other weapons fire faster. Some players have developed a play style around hand cannons. Dipping in and out of cover, hitting those precision shots… It takes practice and skill. Not everyone can be good with a hand cannon. I’m not good with them. I use the Crimson a lot but it’s a hybrid. Give me an Ace of Spades and watch my KDA go down. If I keep losing to someone with a hand cannon he’s just good with it. 450 pulse rifle meta coming up soon. Play a lot of Dares of Eternity and get a good BXR-55 BATTLER. Stay out of hand cannon range and you’ll be beating them soon.
