So, this Hawkmoon problem...
Is it ever going to get fixed? Because at the moment it's range is terrible, hit detection is way off, accuracy and handling is poor at best and it fires blanks. They took a perfectly good and balanced gun (all they needed to fix was the one shot glitch and a very TINY adjustment to range and that was it) and made it worse than garbage.
GG Bungie.

It is a shame... That gun was a beast back in its day. They really need to bring back year one Hawkmoon
-
It's not a Hawkmoon problem, it's a handcannon problem. But yes, something needs to be done.

Agreed. This goes back to the idea that Exotics should be powerful and feel powerful and have those unique exotic perks because they are exotic. Thats kind of the point IMHO. Now. I don't even use exotic weapons outside of Spindle and Malice during the RAID. Its all legendary otherwise. Kind of dumb. Who gives a shit about XUR anymore? The newest exotic stuff is really no better. Its all just kind of there and acts like more of a collector thing than a real iconic type thing.

This is why people are using thorn. It seems immune to phantom bullets. Basically if you want to use a handcannon (besides spamming with tlw) you HAVE to use thorn. As much hate as it gets, it's the only damn handcannon that doesn't shoot blanks. Bungie, keep the stupid range drop off but get rid of bloom in handcannons. Bullets not hitting is not acceptable.

hawk moon works fine for me. I can easily land shots with it and get kills. if you dismantle it then i hear it works great for those who complain about it
-
This applies to ALL hand cannons
-
Agreed so many shots with sights on target with no damage registered.

4 RepliesDude it's not just the hawk moon It's all hand cannons Minus the last word You can't trigger finger it or else the bullets don't mark It sucks I want my old hawk moon back I loved it

Edited by Mr_Haad: 2/15/2016 6:37:25 PMThe hit detection for all handcannons except Thorn and The Last Word are abysmal, to say the least. It's the follow up shot, IMO. Not the initial. I think they should increase the range of hand cannons if that's the case. It allows for better shot pacing.

Hawkmoon has gone the way of fusion rifles. Nerfed forever.

I used it exclusively for that one CD bounty. It was rough but I did it (and switched to Inward Lamp on the very same round while my partner was dead to finish off the scout rifle kills as well! My oppoenents were pretty terrible).

10 RepliesThe first time I went flawless in trials I used the HM, I'm totally disgusted at the current state of the weapon now.....smh!!!!

6 RepliesFrom someone who used to think like you do, stop. The problem you are all experiencing is you now have to pace your shots and actually have to aim them to get headshots and body shots. I can say that I used my experience as a sniper to my advantage, and was able to do very well with Hawkmoon by just having to aim it a little more. I went flawless just yesterday with it, using Hawkmoon and Sidearm/Sniper. I think you should all give it a second look, as I to used to think it fired blanks.

Hawkmoon was truly exotic and now it's a shell of its former self. It's sad. I remember the day I got it... The Deathsinger CP on hard Crota. I let out a small scream when it popped up. Oh the memories...
-
Hit detection and range seem to be really off for the HM. Doesn't really have an "Exotic" feel to it anymore...

2 RepliesEdited by SuperWood44: 2/15/2016 5:25:33 PMMy HAWKMOON works magic and is perfectly fine, but I will bump it anyway because if it got buffed it would be even more op. [spoiler]Bump[/spoiler]

You guys are all complaining. HM is fine. I went flawless with it last night.

7 RepliesHand Cannons feel very awkward to use at the moment imo. The struggle for consistency is real.

Same feeling towards red death

3 RepliesIsn't the shot not registrering a hc problem in general?

1 ReplyHawkmoon is the gun I have the most kills with. Nowadays it is less deadly than a autorifle. AT least with an autorifle you know you are hitting something, even with damage fall off. With the hawkmoon (and almost all other hand cannons but it worse in the hawkmoon) damage fall off is only a problem if the shot registers and it won't register most of the times. Doesn't matter if you are aiming well, you're more likely not to register a shot. Maybe the first shot will register, all of the following...who knows. When it does you feel great and think hand cannons are the coolest weapon ever. Most of the time it just sucks. This is a problem with all hand cannons, accuracy and bloom. The hawkmoon is the most nerfed weapon in Destiny and they finally did it, they killed the hawkmoon :S

The accuracy is awful.
