"Stalk thy prey and let loose thy talons upon the Darkness."
— Weapon description

The Hawkmoon is an Exotic hand cannon introduced in Destiny Year One, exclusive to Playstation users only.[1] A Year Two version of Hawkmoon is available in The Taken King to Xbox users as well. It returns to Destiny 2 with Season of the Hunt.[2]

Gameplay

Destiny

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[1]

Year Two

The Year Two Hawkmoon was made available on all consoles, and no significant changes were made to this specific weapon.

Year Three

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.

Destiny 2

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 The Holding Aces and Luck in the Chamber perks have been replaced by the perk Paracausal Shot, and the weapon now has random secondary perks for subsequent drops.
