Hello fellow pilots. After months and months of getting slaughtered on the battlefield by Hawks, I'll finally be getting one of my own in two weeks through the workshop. I suspect I'll be one of the LAST players to actually have a Hawk and at that point I'm wondering if it's even worth it, especially after it was nerfed. SO, with so many experienced pilots out there, I should have a bounty of advice to draw from. Here are my questions (I wanted to create multiple polls but I guess that's not possible without admin permission and I don't know how to contact admin!): 1. Is it even worth having a Hawk at this point? 2. If you think it is, which pilot should I use? I have the following available: Damned Johnny Kyle Rogers (Hawk) - I have an Anti Control module available
Adrian Chong
3. Which build would you recommend given the current environment? I have the following weapons available: Nucleon/Quarker Glacier/Rhime Dragoon/Marquess Calamity/Spark Devastator/Scatter Ember/Blaze Glory/Halo Something else Thanks for the input! I look forward to seeing the results. |

I am running Damned Johny with dragoon/magnetar with suppression from a drone. Great against titans, can cover a lot of ground quickly for late game beacon capping, lock down and suppress ftw.

With another nerf to the weapon, I stopped production of mine.....now sounds like a waste of time and resources.
Typhoon is still the bot I want. Hawk may be dead, just days after dropping into WS.
I can see it’s use late, and may resume production based upon replies here......

I look forward to seeing the results. 1. Is it worth it? Are you planning to max it? If so, yes. Hawk is no longer the OP kill-all it once was, but if you dump enough resources into it, it can still cause a bit of havoc on the battlefield. 2. Which Pilot? Kyle Rogers(Hawk). Kyle's Gizmo makes Hawk immune to lock-down and suppression while in Transform mode. You can use Quantum Radar to take out those pesky stealth bots.
3. Which build? Nucleon/Quarker. If you use Lockdown Ammo, this is perfect. I'm planning on switching my Shredders for Magnetars since Mags are Tier 4 and they have lock-down as well. I run Nucleon/Shredder.

You definitely won't be one of the last players to get one. I won't be even making one until later in the year or maybe next year.

I mean, it's still a two-heavy/two-light high-firepower platform that has flight capability and defensive shielding. It's got multiple legendary pilot options. I don't know about the mobility and durability overall but don't act like they've turned it into an Ao Qin or something.

I’ll only be able to level it up to Lvl 9 most likely and I suspect it will not be able to hold its own in the matches. But who knows. I just want to have fun and that’s something pretty rare for me to do these days with this game. |

Pssst ... build? Jumping Hornet/Magnetar with 5x modular drone thingy = tons o fun trolling for 10 minutes  And like Jeb said, 2 Heavy/2 Light w/Titan killing beem. Yeah still worth it, even just to do a few passes on a titan at the end of the game. For sure. If only I had those weapons! |

Got my Hawk late in the game and just before the nerf. Maxed it as soon as I could (otherwise it`s pretty weak on the ground) and have Nucs and Quarkers all 2/4 so it`s still pretty useful and one of my favorites and I love taking down PITA Mings with it. So much so I`ve just finished off another one in the workshop from the puzzle pieces I`d won and started to level it.
Have Jonny on it but lock down is a bit hit and miss with many bots not being locked down nowadays or still managing to get behind cover before total immobility. Really needs the extra speed and durability skills. Also got Kyle a while back and, unusually, didn`t sell him so will probably try him on this second one, although, I did just win another Jonny and when they are locked down....

I’m taking down Hawks with my Hover and Tyr. MK2 increases the Laser beam power and gives you that cushion for when you’re vulnerable. |

Lots of top champs still running them so YES still a good bot. One of the best still to take out Titans! Its all when and how you play it. I would save it for later in the game after the shell hoards. You need to push them beacons at start!
As to Pilot and weapons that is all personal choice on what you like.
I run Adrian on mine an have used many different weapons depending on my mood.
My 2 cents.

Is it even worth having a Hawk at this point? Depends on what you want to do. If you're looking for max meta, no.
If you're looking at having a platform similar to a Natasha (two heavies, two lights) but which can do more damage via the onboard weapon, which has a cute bubble shield, and which can get bursts of greatly increased mobility it's a good mech for you. |

I dunno, the only thing that's changed so far is that it doesn't vaporize regular bot, which it never should have done in the first place.
But as a dedicated titan killer? sure. I'm down. Not maxxed or anything, I still like what it does & how.
And this is at lvel 1.10 and 1.9 weapons.

After testing with a new Eye drone, yeah the Hawk is still worth it.

If you are planning on maxing it Gauss/Volt can really do the damage. The weapons have to be near maxed before they are any good though. It gives you a damaging sniper who can then slip into hulk mode at the right time. I’ve been badly hurt by that setup.
