What if Hawkmoon's exotic ability was…
Random bullets with improved C O N E S?
Note: I mentioned calculations with 150 RPM damage numbers, its basically the same, but my bad, made a mixup
Drewsky makes a new video
Alien guy hands "cones"
My theory…
2 precesion shots load 2 overload rounds…
2 crit….
150 bullet 2x
You'd get the 3 tap…even to the body
And be able to 2 crit next person
How about random opening shot would still be useful
CRAA'YON, THE DEVOURED
I swear to god if they screw this up somehow.
I feel like with whatever non damage boosting rng-based perk it has, it could also have final round so it would still have a bonus damage round even if it's just not randomized.
LUL dude any more aim assist and you controller users on PC will literally be cheating. I havent used a controller in a year and I can still pick up the sticks and not miss a snipe the whole game because of this. Its gotta be nerfed if something like what you are suggesting is going to be on Hawkmoon.
The bullets could also apply a debuff to opponents which could do a lot of things. Still I think it should come back how it was. With the already reduced handcannon damage I don’t see one taps being a thing. Holding aces could also always proc consecutively. Don’t take away what made this gun part of the holy trinity. If they do ace of spades is just going to be better and a legend will die.
Leave the gun in destiny 1 rest in peace
I read the title as “Will Hawkmoon work in Destiny 2” idk can’t tell you if it will or not
I totally hear dashvapes playing D2 in my head on your videos 😂
How about 3 random rounds that have perfect accuracy, no range drop off, extreme flinch and can pierce through enemies. Reloading after a lucky bullet kill heals you.
Wow improved sim assiste, we all ready have 150 we need more help to aim, Jesus no pls no i want 2 taps, like wtf why no 2 taps on 140
i could see your ultra opening shot + rampage idea, rewarding rapid kills with a 2 tap at x2 or x3 rampage
Thorn was a 140 in destiny 1 because there wasn’t 150s
I don’t get the hype, Hawkmoon wasn’t meta with luck in chamber in D1….now we’re getting it without it?
It would be nice a unique if that randomness would give the gun 0 recoil (and I mean 0 recoil) for a short amount of time instead of damage. However, it wouldn’t really make sense for hawkmoon to have it
I would love to let luck take the wheel once in a while
Hawk moon was I kid you not my first exotic in d1 felt so lucky
I don’t want the lucky rounds to be oppressive in cqb but change the strength into range pressure. But then we gotta reduce thorn damage to 43 68
Still chaperone is my fav but damn I hope they make hand cannons again
it isn't hawkmoon without lucky rounds. the feeling of missing a lucky round vs hitting a lucky round was integral to the identity of the gun and if they imploy the changes to the gun they are suggesting they might as well call it something else.
I suspect Hawkmoon will operate similarly to Opening Shot like you suggested, but the bullets will take on a few extra special properties:
1. the gun will indicate in some way when your next shot is a Luck in the Chamber round
2. absurd bullet magnetism on the shot as well as boosted range and accuracy
3. the round will infinitely pierce enemies and leave a “tracer” effect in the air as a visual effect
4. It will make a sickass high-pitched noise when it fires a LitC round to make it feel like butter
5. killing an enemy with a LitC round will make the next reload possess additional LitC rounds according to the number of kills with LitC rounds, up to a maximum of 6 LitC rounds in one magazine. Honestly probably a masterwork effect.
According to a very sketchy leak Hawkmoon will build up stacks of a buff on each crit then the final bullet would deal damage based on the stacks. Can 1 body people if you hit all crits.
Other things in the leak are:
Hunter exotic that replaces the dodge with a short range blink
Stasis Titans can use their barricade charge to get damage resistance for a short time but it goes away if they jump
Warlock super is like a combo of golden gun and stormtrance
When they make an rng gun, why complain that it is legit intended to be like that
Problem with 140s is outside of PVE they can not complete especially after the countless HC nerfs to balance them on PC which basically killed off 140s for console users in PVP.
I think the only weapon to come back as a different archetype from D1 to D2 is suros regime (450 to 600 rpm)
Basically just bring it back like it was in d1y1 and stop ruining ur game u lame PoS @lukesmith
"mediocreish range" when u say that to a d2 player they r thinking like 20m and then in d1 we was all sniping mf at like 50m ez
I miss choosing different perks on exotics i loved being able to have QuickDraw on my hawk moon so I could swap weapons really quick and the snappy feel was essential for me
Who's watching after the sandbox changes were annoced
They could put a random effect on kills/precision kills. Stuff like boosting your movement speed or causing an explosion. This would make it so that the gun isn’t able to randomly affect duels but it still has a randomized effect. The effect could also be countered by staying away from your teammate if they get killed with hawkmoon and force them to make an observation and forces the user to make the most of whichever random effect they get from the kill.
Luke Smith: we will talk about it more when we get closer too launch
11 days till beyond light: When
So I was think that hawk moon could have Magnificent howl pre nerf and also it’s exotic perk could be like( for every headshot you land it gives it extra range,stability, and more handling or reload) so that would make landing headshots way more consistent so that the perk could Magnificent howl could Prock more often.
I actually really disliked using Hawkmoon because of that randomness. I wanted so badly to love it because it’s a beautiful gun and powerful when the perk worked. I’d LOVE for the Hawkmoon to kind of be a spiritual successor of the Luna’s Howl/Not Forgotten in an exotic form.
Luna’s Howl needs to be made into an exotic
Magnificent CAWWW perk incoming.
If holding aces and luck I the chamber isn't there it's not hawkmoon, no matter what they do
CONES!!! COOOONES!!!!!
I wanna see hawk moon with rng explosions (the explosions would act like polaris lances exotic perk but random)
I'm going to be so sad if hawkmoon becomes a 120 instead of staying as 140.
We find out in a few hours
If he doesn’t come back with extra damage then it’s the most garbage weapon I’ve ever seen.
“How to retain the identity of Hawkmoon?” Uh.. Don’t change it into something it is not?
