Borderlands 2: Hawkeye- now it doesn't suck with CA!
763The Hawkeye is a Seraph rarity Jakobs sniper that is available as a part of the third campaign DLC for Borderlands 2, Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. In Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, it only drops from the most difficult raid boss in the game, Voracidous the Invincible.
This weapon has a much lower base damage in comparison to many other Jakobs snipers, but it has a massive critical hit bonus. This bonus is extremely effective with the Bee. This weapon has always been effective, but it seemed less effective on Zer0 than other high tier snipers.
The weapon has always seemed somewhat lackluster on Zer0, because Zer0's capstone sniper skill, Critical Ascension, pairs better with a higher base damage as compared to a low base damage with a high crit modifier. This is because CA boosts base damage, so on the Hawkeye, it has less base damage to multiply. This is very noticeable when using multiple stacks of CA.
Additionally, the Hawkeye has much less recoil than other Jakobs snipers, which makes the weapon much easier to wield and achieve a high rate of fire with. The Hawkeye will always have a very increased zoom as well. The community patch adds a very nice skin, too!
The community patch is going to add a significant amount of base damage, which makes this weapon pair with CA much more effectively. This weapon definitely does not suck, and its main drawback has been severely mitigated.
