Hawkmoon's random trait is a terrible idea

I don't know whose bright idea it was to have an exotic get random traits like a legendary weapon and nevermind it only be for future drops and not even the initial version is a trash idea, Bungie Hawkmoon is an exotic not a legendary weapon fix this.

  • Hawkmoon slaps with catalyst and opening shot This gun is about to be very popular in pvp.

  • I have a feeling this is a problem of the gun not being anything remotely like the original aside from looks. While I don’t mind the idea of one exotic weapon having random rolls, I think it may have made more sense to use a different exotic for that purpose. Kvostov (iirc) may have made more sense for this idea imo. Hawkmoon remade probably should have tried to use its name as inspiration. Something like “headshots while airborne deal more damage” or “landing shots while airborne propel the player slightly upwards up to 3 times” or “headshots while airborne refresh movement abilities once”. If you had to use the gambling aspect “shoots six sided die which are cast on each hit, if the combined total lands on 7, 14, or 21, the next shot has increased damage and ends the turn until reload. Exceeding 21 empties the magazine.” ... maybe that last bit is unnecessary, but if the damage is good enough on lucky numbers it may still be worth it. Still, it’s cool regardless, I’m personally looking forward to trying to get a roll with high stability. Just seems like a missed opportunity to do something more interesting or worthy of the original.

        I'd like an honest explaiation as to why Hawkmoon couldn't have Holding Aces so that it randomly got 2 tap crits in pvp. With how fast everything already kills (or freezes) you in pvp right now how would an rng kill break anything. Heck, you can already run around a 2 tap people with 120s and Thorn for less work. As of now it's competing against arguably the best exotic handcannons in the game with Ace and Thorn. Hawkmoon has None of the advantages over those two guns. Ace basically has like 5 perks with outlaw, firefly, 6x killclip, third eye and super firefly (catalyst) And Thorn has health regen denile, dot tracking and 2 taps with Soul Devour. Hawkmoon is literally just a legendary 140 with Final Round and none of the random roles it can get comes close to what Ace and Thorn offer by default.

      • Agree. Exotics should be same for all... There should not be good hawkmoons and bad hawkmoons based on rng

      • Yeah I’m not hot on the idea, and I could’ve thought of 50+ ideas for a perk better (and still not broken) than paracausal charge or whatever it’s called.

          • Because exotics dropping with fixed, unchangeable perks wasn’t a thing until Destiny 2. You were allowed to customize exotics to an extent in Destiny 1. But was taken out of the game for vanilla D2.

          • Ahh... No one realizes they are now facing the precursor to the sunset of ALL exotics in the game. Your favorite pvp and pve weapons are now 1 year away from being taken from you in usefulness. The fact these have random rolls shows bungie is deciding to scrap EVERY exotic from year 1 to now in 1 year and creating a new list of exotics so piss poor and watered down compared to what we have then, you’ll wish this gun NEVER existed. Enjoy your last year with your favorite pvp exotics everyone. You’ll be parting with ALL of them soon enough.

            • Its a legendary weapon thats exotic. In addition they made it a 140, double downing in essence on how bad can they make an exotic. For something to take an exotic slot it needs to be worth the trade off even more so it it uses primary ammo, I see nothing here. Just a massive disappointment and another dust collector for the vault. This is honestly the worst exotic HC in the game. Mainly because its a legendary that exotic with no "real exotic" perk. Tarrabah is better and its considered a bit of a failure raid exotic.

              • I'd have rather seen a new exotic 120 hand cannon instead of this, no point bringing it back if its not going to be the same gun from D1.

                • Am I the only person who doesn’t REALLY care about the random perk? Most exotics have static perks (Hip Fire Grip on Bad Juju, Outlaw on Outbreak, No Distractions on Izanagi’s ect) Hawkmoon is the the same as those except a few perks may vary, the exotic perk is the same regardless. I 100% would roll and different perk on Bad Juju myself but alas I can’t

                        Agreed. It's an exotic. Not having RGN for rolls is the whole point of exotics.

                        • Its actually a great idea. It gives insentive to try and get exotic godroles on exotic weapons too! What if they start implementing it on current weapons too? Imagine a sweet buizness with high cal again? A bad juju with firmly planted? Chaperone with killing wind? Cloudstrike with triple tap to feed ammo back in the mag?! So many roles and weapons to pursue and aquire. Its essentially creating more loot to chase on top of what we already had.

                          • If it's Hawkmoon-ONLY with a clear path to farm rolls that isn't -blam!-ing up the exotic armor drop economy, fine. I do not want any more RNG in the game personally. And also do not want exotics to be sunset. This idea they're trying makes me a little suspicious on both counts.
