Perks

Column 1

Column 2

Perfect Balance - This weapon has extremely low recoil.

Column 3

Zen Moment - Causing damage with this weapon increases it's stability.

Column 4

Alpha's Command - Pressing the Right Thumbstick allows a player to target something this weapon can't, such as automata or targets.

Column 5

Armor Piercing Rounds - These iridium-core rounds overpenetrate targets. Their mass slows down handling.

Trivia

• The Jackal's Howl has similar appearance to Aksis' Personal weapon.
• It also does the same reload animation of the Lord of Wolves gun.
  • This probably because it a modified version of the Shrapnel Launcher, which the Lord of Wolves's based off of.
• The Scout rifle is the first, and only Exotic weapon to be temporary available to PS4 players, in the Jackal's Labyrinth. But the gun, was then made available for all players, in the Season of Opulence.
