This new patch has made it so there is absolutely no reason to use Hawkmoon. with it's now average range and slow rate of fire it has been totally removed from the meta and using it puts you at a disadvantage. Let's look some numbers.
I'm assuming that the average player has 200 health
before the 2.10 patch a lucky round Hawkmoon shot dealt roughly 117 damage with the highest impact on the gun, so in two shots one could deal 207 damage (one normal bullet, on lucky).
This meant that if two players were to have a hand cannon duel the player using Hawkmoon would be able to win 23% of the time if the other player was using a hand cannon with a faster rate of fire.
now after the 2.10 patch a luck round Hawkmoon shot deals only 108 damage with the highest impact equipped, so in two shots one can only deal 198 damage
This meant that if two players were to have a hand cannon duel the player using Hawkmoon would be able to win 7% of the time if the other player was using a hand cannon with a faster rate of fire. (two lucky rounds in a row)
Thus, there is absolutely no reason to use Hawkmoon over a hand cannon with a faster fire rate as the player using Hawkmoon will lose aginst faster-firing hand cannons 93% of the time.
The 2 shot was the only reason that Hawkmoon was a competitive choice and now that it no longer able to do that under reasonable circumstances it is just another crappy low rate of fire hand cannon.

Editado por III R17 III: 12/28/2015 2:42:29 AMIt got a rate of fire nerf too? Done...

1 RespuestaRNG is never competitive its just skilless luck thats why LITC was changed too. I do think the nerf was too much, why nerf the range? why not give it a faster fire rate, why not COMPENSATE IT for losing its 2 burst? same with slow rate of fire pulses.

Hawkmoon is my favorite handcannon, but as a PVE player the nerf really made the weapon undesirable to me. I enjoy using my Imago loop and Iron Banner handcannon over it now because they do better damage at further ranges, and their rolls aren't even that good. (I like handcannons with explosive rounds).

1 RespuestaHawkmoon is still solid Sorry it cant two shot every time, or even one shot. Today i got plenty of two shots kills
-
Have any of you guys tried out the uffern omolon handcannon which out damages hawkmoon and with the same rate of fire mine has outlaw and luck in the chamber
-
Yup, just like all the others. I only use hand cannons on patrols now.
-
The Hawk was pretty bad ask, unfortunately I was on the receiving end of many deaths from sniper range in year one. Wasn't lucky enough to get year 1 Hawk

1 Respuestai hated hawkmoon anyway this was coming im surprised you didnt see it
-
That's why I dusted off my Loner Rebel, LitC Braced Frame and Final round, I still win most of my engagements, loosing mainly against scouts and Red Death.
