I was going to put a 'neither' option but figured I wanted to know....
If you were to equip the Hawkmoon or The Last Word, which would you prefer?
To everyone ready to say "IceBreaker"... I don't care.
Simply comparing two exotic hand cannons here.
If you like neither than don't answer and leave the thread,
Thanks!
EDIT: Post reasoning below in a comment as well... I understand some may like either-or depending on whether it's PvP or PvE.
EDIT#2: Obviously no-one reads the body of the post on any of these forums...
to everyone commenting Fatebringer below... It's NOT part of the comparison, so you look illiterate when you say Fatebringer is best...

To clear any disputes between fanboys of either before they even start I'll explain Pros and Cons. Hawkmoon has a 13 shot Mag, 3 bonus damage shots, great range, impact, and if you so choose you can make its recoil manageable. The Last Word has Fan Fire (+1), awesome stability when upgraded, good impact at close range, and it can clear crowds of enemies fast. Hawkmoon has cons in terms of recoil, especially when just obtained, and it fires/reloads moderately slow. The Last Word has little range, but fires fast, however the fire rate is countered by the low magazine capacity. As well as this it is a little jerky when first gotten but not nearly as much as Hawkmoon. I prefer Hawkmoon because it hits hard and is my type of play style, but if you like to rush enemies, run around in crucible, or just have fun with a weapon use The Last Word. Good Luck and Happy Hunting! "Stalk thy prey and loose thy talons upon the Darkness." -Hawkmoon

Just got the last word last night. Wish it was hawkmoon but last word will have to do for now.
-
Hawkmoon. The last word has cool animations and shit but when it comes down to it Hawkmoon has a bigger magazine clip, way more range, better damage, and more stability. I've yet to max out the last word but after maxing out the hawkmoon I can already telll that I like the hawkmoon more. The last word is probably more useful in PvP, but as far as PvE goes it feels kinda lackluster. I say the hawkmoon is better when it comes to both PvP and PvE cuz of the perks and damage output.
-
All about style for me. I actually think Hawkmoon is statistically better overall, but not by enough to make me pick it over a single action revolver with a spin animation.
-
Last word is a hand cannon that wants to be a AR its fun but does not play like a hand cannon Hawkmoon is good hand cannon that will randomly bless you with a 1 shot kill in pvp.
-
The last word cuz I don't have a choice. Lol
-
Edited by Some Black Guy: 10/31/2014 7:47:41 PMLast Word is for PVP with the already fast rate of fire, plus the full auto feature is omg. Hawkmoon is for both PvP and PVE, due to its godly range and accuracy.
-
Whats wrong with the thorn?
-
Hawkmoon. TLW is a beast, but Hawkmoon is the one hand cannon that lives up to the name "hand cannon". The thing is swift, elegant death.
-
I can't really state my opinion on the subject, since it's not on xbox one :( It's a sad day to be a hand cannon worshipper
-
The 3 random massive dmg bullets
-
If only hawkmoon was out for xbox yet
-
i dont care f it makes me look illiterate....the fatebringer is king, and also not exotic...so you can use an exotic else where, bring on the thunder thunder thunder lord
-
Hawkmoon death-clack makes buttholes tighten up
-
Once again last word all day everyday best hand cannon for Pvp if you can aim and hipfire head shot with skill and for pve it takes awhile to adjust and with hunter gunslinger take it to another level hawk moon fires to slow every one bullet I can smack 3 bullets out at the head with the last word and kill multiple targets extremely fast.
-
I don't have either :(
-
Thorn because RNG has yet give me them.
-
I have both and I prefer to use The Last Word over Hawkmoon. The auto fire on TLW really helps melt praetorians and kills oracles fast in the VoG. I have been using the Hawkmoon a lot outside of the VoG and use it more for things that don't require a fast rate of fire. The larger ammo clip is a definite plus. Overall, The Last Word all day.
-
The Final Stand. :3
-
Nerf them both!
-
I prefer having a bit more range and rounds in PvE.
-
Hawkmooooooooooon
-
The Last Word is iffy but remarkable for PvP. It's a great gun if you can get headshots while firing from the hip because it'll be a two shot kill against other guardians, however it takes some amount of practice to get used to it. I never used Hawkmoon though. I heard it's good. Some of friends rave about it, but I seldom see them use it for anything save for bragging rights..
-
The Last Word, its exactly that.
-
I sharded my Last Word when I got Hawkmoon. I don't require a Rapid fire Hand Cannon when pressing the trigger once with Hawkmoon makes anything except a boss/ultra die instantaneously. I simply feel bad for XBox players who can't get a Hawkmoon for another 10 months.
-
I don't have either of the 2 so trust me when I say rocket launcher
