Hawksaw gameplay (Destiny)

I have heard lots of things about this Hawksaw Pulse Rifle that the Crucible Quartermaster Arcite is selling. I decided to buy one and test the waters. I love this gun. I played with it some more this morning as you can see from the video. Looks like my settings have reset on my PS4 since the update, since the quality is horrendous. Nonetheless, you can see its a great gun. I found that the High Caliber Rounds actually is quite amazing. I never really used them before, but now that I have, I see why I was having so much trouble hitting people. You can tell a few times throughout the video when the enemy is having trouble returning fire because of stagger. This gun is the new in between in between. You have the nice long range messenger/allfate build, then you have the Praedyths Timepiece builds. This seems to fit in the middle for me. Its not as good at range, but still manageable.

The Good: ROF, Fast Reload, 3-burst kill (3 FAST burst), purchasable (Smallbore, High Caliber Rounds, and Secret Round), Can be used in close quarters, Clean Suros elegance.

The Bad: Not as good at range as some other pulse rifles.


You will also get to see alot of the Conspiracy Theory and Quillum's Terminus gameplay. Also, I do kill the standers, which is terrible etiquette I know. But to be fair I played several games with a few of these clowns, and when I was trying to upload videos, I got killed. An eye for an eye.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for posting this; it confirms what I was seeing last night when I tried it. I've got a max stability roll with rangefinder. The gun feels great - tight grouping, low recoil and a fast rate of fire, but I wasn't doing nearly as well as I have with slower firing higher impact pulse rifles. It seems like you need to connect with three headshots bursts (4 if you miss a round) or 6 body shot bursts for a kill, and it just seemed to take too long.

I'll hold onto it for a while to see if I get used to the high rate of file pulse rifle archetype, but at the moment I think I'll be using a year two spare change in Iron Banner.
