The '''Hawk''' is a troop carrier VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft that is used by the [[Last City]]. It is typically seen making cargo deliveries at the [[Tower]], but the Hawk is fully outfitted with weapons and combat specifications. | |||
==History== | |||
Hawks are mentioned carrying Guardian reinforcements during [[The Plaguelands]] mission by [[Shiro-4]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Plaguelands]]''</ref> | |||
During the mission [[A Symbol of Honor]], part of the [[Beauty in Destruction]] [[Quest]], a Hawk arrives to assist the Guardian in defending [[Bannerfall]] from a [[Fallen]] assault, providing fire support with its chin-mounted rotary machine gun. | |||
During the [[Red War]], it was used as an attack fighter against [[Red Legion]] forces; during [[Homecoming]] [[Amanda Holliday]] used one to drop off [[The Guardian]] on [[The Immortal]]. [[Dead Orbit]] has their own fleet of heavily armed Hawks. They can be seen periodically visiting the Tower Ramparts' Hangar, in the area adjacent to the faction's designated area below the [[Future War Cult]] space. | During the [[Red War]], it was used as an attack fighter against [[Red Legion]] forces; during [[Homecoming]] [[Amanda Holliday]] used one to drop off [[The Guardian]] on [[The Immortal]].

Hawks were deployed on the [[Moon]] to repel the [[Hidden Swarm]]'s offensive in the mission [[A Mysterious Disturbance]], where they fly over the combat zones and fire at ground troops with their cannons. They later transport a [[Drake Tank]] for the Guardian to use in further breaching the [[Hive]]'s lines.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref> | |||
A Hawk piloted by Holliday herself was deployed in the [[Vox Obscura]] mission, first dropping off a Drake, then providing fire support in the assault at the rebel's main base.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Mission]]: [[Vox Obscura]]''</ref> | |||
[[Anastasia Bray]] provides air support from a Hawk during the [[Heist Battleground: Mars]] activity, while activating the "A" tower and later when climbing the scaffolding towards the Mindlab. | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
When Hawks appear as allies, in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', they fly in a loop over the battlefield, avoiding the fire of grounded foes. Their main weapon is an autocannon with high stopping power, that is typically fired in 2-4 round salvoes. Hawks are invulnerable to enemy fire, though foes will prefer to attack grounded targets. Still, players shouldn't rely on them to deal with more powerful threats, like [[Major]]s and [[Ultra]]s. | |||
==Hawk-type Jumpships== | |||
Some Hawks have also been modified to serve [[Guardian]]s as personal ships: | |||
*[[Alpha Umi]] | |||
*[[Egbe-01X]] | |||
*[[Ermine TAC-717]] ([[Reef]] modification) | |||
*[[The Ruinous Flame]] | |||
*[[Trirang Tox]] | |||
