Hawksaw is still the best pulse rifle in the game
So I've been using my hawksaw since early year 2 and I would like to know everyone's thoughts I currently think it can out fire any pulse rifle in the game the only one that gives a trouble is maybe a good role grasp of Malok any thoughts
-
I have a clever dragon with braced frame and high caliber rounds and hidden hand that begs to differ
-
I think the trials pulse is better , the grasp and iron banner pulse is better . A well rolled pdx 45 is good too

2 RepliesEdited by Youre Lightwork: 10/8/2016 7:52:44 AMAny lower impact pulse rifle with a stability roll is better than hawksaw when it comes to straight up primary gunfights... Hawksaw might hit a little harder, but those lower impact ; clever dragon//Grasp//waltz are best...

9 RepliesI have suros pdx that's beats it and any grasp of malol roll. unfortunately I can't shoot for shit and stick with my shadow price
-
Any good 77/4 pulse will beat it in an even fight
-
I find my hidden hand PDX-45 (titan)IS much more consistent compared to the vendor hawksaw. The PDX already has a higher aim assist base stat and with hidden hand, shots register as crits when I'm not even shooting someone in the head. Nkutch has done a video with the same roll. He uses the PDX over the hawksaw as well. ITS THE TRUE GOD ROLL!!
-
Grasp archetypes will beat it 100% of the time on equal footing
-
Hawksaw has been my go to pulse for a long time, but that new IB pulse that everyone seems to have might just be better.
-
Grasp of Malok is where it's at but I also love the Hawksaw. I like my PDX 45 as well.
-
The Grasp archetype is "technically" better as they still kill in three bursts but shoot faster. Don't know how the IB pulse compares as the one I got had no Stabilty perks whatsoever
-
7 RepliesI guess if you don't have Grasp you can use the second best thing.

I have the same role as your hunter on my titan however it's not been used in a long time. I have 2 grasps i have on my lock and titan (I'll equip now) that have been my go to pulses ever since my farming a while ago. However this IB if I lost out to a pulse it was clever dragon or hawksaw, very rarely anything else.

Pssst *blind perdition*

18 RepliesPraedyths timepiece Oversoild edict A good roll waltz Blind perdition The clever dragon Suros PDX 45 All pulses that can easily outgun it. However that doesn't mean its not good, you've been using it for awhile so you have mastered it. This means that you know its ins and outs and anybody who gets in your way you can demolish with it. I'm the same way with grasp/TLW. It all boils down to personal preference and what feels right to you. Personally loving the perdition. It murks.

I used bad juju all year one, then they made changes to pulse rifles and it didn't seem worthy of the exotic slot in PVP. In PvE it's nasty though! Still my favorite weapon.
-
I never use hawksaw because i don't like the color scheme on it. I am diggin' the new IB pulse though. Performance wise and aesthetically too.

4 RepliesGot a God roll clever dragon. It's a beast. Been pooping in kids with it.
-
Yeah it all how it feels I use a grasp with braces frame, hand laid stock and final resort and it never feels like I lose a gun fight to anything but my own bad aim at times.
-
I have a matlock with counter and hand laid
-
The outbreak prime is the same archetype as the hacksaw, not saying LG it's the best I'm just saying.
-
Grasp and hacksaw are both disgusting weapons, you should not be able to get a high rate of fire weapon with more than 65% stability, it just totally out guns the lower rate of fire weapons because you are constantly throwing bullets down range. They should only win close range fights. Not outgun a scout rifle half way across the map.

Edited by sergeantsnipes05: 10/8/2016 6:39:12 AMThe PDX/hawksaw archetype is strong as is the grasp of malok. The nirwens mercy/red death and the spare change are not. They all take basically 3 bursts to kill so high RoF is going to win. The trials pulse is very strong as well but it falls into the hawksaw archetype
-
Edited by Annihilator_HD: 10/8/2016 6:37:18 AMI very rarely lose a gunfight with grasp but when I do, it's often the hawksaw The new IB and Trials pulses are solid as well....for people who don't have a grasp 😄👍

It's all about personal feel and preference , but The Clever Dragon is certainly making an argument.
