Hawk moon will be god again with accuracy buff
Can't wait for hawk moon ownage

3 RepliesThey also nerfed the range. My hawkmoon has not only had its wings clipped, but it's talons removed.
-
2 RepliesLet's take a look at this 'buff' shall we? Decreased maximum range by five meters across the board. Drastically increased the severity of damage drop off [b][u]Increased[/u][/b] the spread of bloom Increased Initial accuracy (First shot) Hot damn, what a buff.... *cough*Nerf*cough*
-
1 ReplyBut the damage drop off will still suck ass
-
I think you are right because of the speed of the shot plus range
-
Edited by SluGGo: 2/9/2017 7:26:15 PMFrom Melee Range... ;) Enjoy!
-
2 RepliesI'll definitely log in and try the changes. From what I understand Suros and Red Death should be really strong, and someone mentioned rifled barrel explosive rounds Lingering Song and I have one of those to try
-
6 RepliesYeaahhhhh no. They nerfed range too. And made bloom worse. Sit there and slowly pick your shots with a Hawkmoon and let me know how that works out for you. It sucks cause my favorite weapon has now been completely [i]grounded,[/i] pun intended.
-
1 ReplyI'll believe it when I see it. Hawkmoon without it's effectiveness at range becomes a pointless Exotic. Then again, anything is better than how it was after TTK and ROI where 70% of its bullets would fail to hit there target
-
It will be good. But not godly. I'm glad it'll be usable again. I've got both ornaments and have been wanted to show it off
-
For real with that first shot actually being consistent. Unnnnff yaaassssss
-
(X) Doubt

Only the initial accuracy, meaning the very first shot, received an accuracy improvement. The range was decreased, and damage falloff was increased. Hand cannons received more nerfs than buffs. Remember how Bungie nerfs things.... they look at what was being used the most, and nerf the crap out of it. Hand cannons were among the most used primary.
-
From Sidearm range sure ;)
-
Are you SURE about that? *John cena voice*
-
11 RepliesSince it can't 1 tap cross map it ain't a threat any more. Try the Gunsmiths Uffern HC4 HandCannon probably the most reliable HC I've had since year 1 ended.
-
Lol. Don't sleep in math class kids.
-
Huh, did they buff exotic shards.
-
It's losing 5 meters with an already bad range stat to start with and damage drop off is going to be more extreme. You can be excited all you want, but your going to be able to land the first shot with damage drop off and that's it lol.
-
Hawkmoon needs range
-
1 ReplyLol the only way hawkmoon will ever be a god again is if you go to the vault of glass and ask atheon very nicely to teleport you to 2015
-
Since they're all getting a blanket nerf to range in exchange for that initial accuracy buff, maybe they'll boost the base range of Hawkmoon back up a little so it's more in line with the other mid-high impact handcannons. And maybe they could do the same for some of those handcannons with really pitiful base range as well.
-
Go to Xur young one. He has the weapon
-
2 RepliesI remember when wielding a HM made you feel like Dirty Harry. Now I just feel like Jim from blazing saddles :(
-
7 RepliesI was thinking this too. But when you factor in a 2 burst kill with a pulse...maaaybe not so much for the HM. Cause while you're trying to find your double bullet rrrrriprrrrrripyouredead....

5 RepliesHow hand cannons work after this patch remains to be seen. All this talk of initial accuracy being Year 1 levels sounds great, but they also mentioned that the bloom after that first shot is even greater now than it was. They looked pretty accurate on the stream, but I will reserve judgment until I try them for myself. I am upset they nerfed range yet again. That damage drop off will make them pretty garbage in PvE. Ugh. We will see.
