'Review’

One of the few Crota's End weapons that doesn't have to give up a perk slot for a raid-centric perk, the Word of Crota has an interesting combination of perks that may actually make it quite for for Crucible use. In the first slot it has the ever sought after SureShot IS sight, the best you can get for a handcannon. In columns two and three I like the combination of Zen Moment and Explosive Rounds, and I've heard (although haven't tested personally) that ER combines with ZM very well, giving two boosts to stability for each hit. This is supposedly because the ER counts as two damage hits, one for the impact and one for the explosion, so ZM gets to activate twice for each bullet. In the last slot we have the perk Phantom Gift, which is basically just the year one precursor to Triple Tap, and works the same way. Not great for PvP, but better than nothing, even though it will be nearly useless with the giant base mag size of 12. Low recoil direction and aim assist means people who enjoy the Eyasluna's firing pattern will feel right at home with the WoC, but high stability and faster RoF make the gun a little more spammable.
