The new hawkmoon is way better and Bungie has said repeatedly they want to remove RNG from gunfights.
This is what you get, it still has the RNG nature due to random rolls.

#1: the random rolls are not currently available, leaving the gun without a second perk #2: The exotic perk is extremely difficult to activate in pvp with it coming into play maybe once in a few games. I’d rather use a well rolled dire promise tbh. #3: What we got has sullied the name hawkmoon. Even now in destiny 1, the gun is powerful with quite the reputation to back it up. Any reputation it had has been destroyed by whatever the hell this thing is

It’s honestly not that hard to activate in pvp if you‘re landing headshots consistently. The base stats are amazing; it’s so smooth and buttery! The stability and bullet magnetism is downright nasty! It feels like it has snapshot to me because the handling is incredible, and the reload perk (alloy mag) is the fastest in the game. Landing headshots is fairly easy to do in a skilled player’s hands. All in all, it’s a great weapon. I just took it into Survival, and it’s a beast!

It’s only better in the fact that it doesn’t have those 3 random highly powered bullets, making it easier to combat. At the same time the random rolls neuter the weapon, considering the one dropped from the quest DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A ROLL.

Exactly right!! The one you get from the quest is rolled, but the roll is telling you “future ones will be rolled” lmfao!! What a joke! After looking up the new hawkmoon I don’t even want to waste my time getting it. I’m only gunna vault it
