Hawkmoon Vs Thorn/TLW
So naturally playing on Xbox One I don't have the privilege to obtain Hawkmoon yet. So to the players who own both Hawkmoon and another exotic hand cannon, what makes Hawkmoon superior or just a great hand cannon in general? Both Thorn and TLW are PvP beasts for their own reasons, checked out the perks for Hawkmoon and initially they don't look that great, from what I understand at first you have one bullet that causes extra damage then later you get a perk that has this affect on an additional two bullets, the rest seem like general perks but I think it has hammer forged too right? Also numerically can someone tell me how much extra damage these bullets cause in both PvP and PvE. Thanks.

6 RepliesThorn and hawkmoon are on pretty even ground, with the slight advantage going to hawkmoon in my opinion. Hawkmoon has 4 extra rounds per magazine, three of which can do extra damage. What some people don't know is that this "lucky round" perk can stack on a single shot, occasionally resulting in a 220+ damage PvP headshot (one-shot kill). Hawkmoon also has slightly better stability, impact and range. Thorn's DoT makes it so it's a guaranteed two-shot headshot kill, whereas hawkmoon only has a chance to two- or one-shot kill. The damage ticks are also useful for tracking enemies on screen if they take cover/try to escape. I'm strictly talking about PvP because I mainly only use these in PvP. I prefer hawkmoon but thorn is just as viable an option.
