==Gameplay==
===Gameplay===
===Destiny===
The Hawkmoon benefits from two separate damage buffs that has a chance of stacking over one another. One of its special upgrades, Luck in the Chamber, substantially increases the damage of one random round in the 11-round chamber. This increases to three rounds with the signature perk "Holding Aces", as well as an additional 2 bullets added into the magazine. When both Luck in the Chamber and Holding Aces are active on the same round, it can take down a Guardian in one shot.
====Year One====
The Hawkmoon benefits from damage buffs. One of its special upgrades, Luck in the Chamber, substantially increases the damage of one random round in the 11-round chamber. This increases to three rounds with the signature perk "Holding Aces", as well as an additional 2 bullets added into the magazine. It was only available in the Playstation 3 & 4 versions of ''[[Destiny]]'', until fall of 2015<ref name = "ExclusivePS4"/>


===Perks===
====Year Two====
*'''Barrel'''
The Year Two Hawkmoon was made available on all consoles, and no significant changes were made to this specific weapon.  
**'''Accurized Ballistics''': More range and impact. Increased recoil.
**'''Field Choke''': More range and impact. Increased recoil.
**'''Aggressive Ballistics''': More predictable recoil. Enhanced impact. Shorter range and more recoil.


*'''1st perk'''
====Year Three====
**'''Luck in the Chamber''': One random bullet in the magazine causes considerable bonus damage.
With the release of ''[[Rise of Iron]]'', Hawkmoon has been given two [[Ornaments]] that have a chance of dropping from [[Radiant Treasure]] boxes and [[Treasures of the Dawning]].


*'''Stat modifiers'''
===Destiny 2===
**'''Hammer Forged''': Improved range and accuracy.
The exotic quest for Hawkmoon was released on December 8, 2020 for owners of the Season of the Hunt Pass. The Holding Aces and Luck in the Chamber perks have been replaced by the perk Paracausal Shot, and the weapon now has random secondary perks for subsequent drops.
**'''Quickdraw''': This weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast.
**'''Speed Reload''': Reload this weapon quickly.
 
*'''Exotic perk'''
**'''Holding Aces''': Two more random bullets in your magazine deal considerable bonus damage.
 
===Grimoire===

'''Stalk thy prey and let loose thy talons upon the Darkness'''
----
The Hawkmoon is a true gunslinger's weapon - a smooth sidearm that makes every bullet count...some more than others.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Hawkmoon|Hawkmoon]]''</ref>
 
 
==Destiny 2==
===Gameplay===
Unlike its previous iteration, The Holding Aces and Luck in the Chamber perks have been replaced by the perk Paracausal Shot, which requires chaining precision hits to kill enemies in one shot with the last round in the magazine. Hawkmoon is also the first Exotic weapon to now have randomized secondary perks for subsequent drops during its Exotic Mission or on rotation from Xûr.
 
===Perks===
*Intrinsic: '''Paracausal Shot''' - Final blows and precision hits with Hawkmoon grant stacks of Paracausal Charge. The final round in the magazine deals bonus damage based on the number of stacks. Stowing Hawkmoon on the final round removes this bonus.

====Catalyst====
In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] for Hawkmoon was formerly obtainable on completing [[Harbinger (Exotic Mission)|Harbinger]] on Legendary difficulty. Since this content is no longer in the game, the catalyst now has a chance to drop from playlist activity completions ([[Strike]]s, [[Crucible]] and [[Gambit]]) once the weapon has been acquired.
 
The catalyst, once completed after 700 weapon kills, will grant an additional perk:
*Exotic Trait: '''Hunter's Trance''' - Increased magazine size. Grants increased handling, reload speed, and weapon range based on the number of stacks of Paracausal Charge.
**'''+1 Magazine Size'''
