How It Works

Celestial Nighthawk Exotic Helmet: Precision Super Damage Exotic Perk: Hawkeye Hack

Modifies Golden Gun Super: Instead of firing multiple shots during your Golden Gun Super, Celestial Nighthawk changes it into a single, high-damage shot. This shot deals significantly more damage than each individual shot of the regular Golden Gun. Massive Super Damage: The modified Golden Gun shot deals massive precision damage, making it one of the most powerful single-shot Supers in the game. This is ideal for taking down bosses or high-priority targets in one hit. Super Energy Refund on Kill: If you kill an enemy with this single-shot Golden Gun, you get a portion of your Super energy refunded, which can help reduce your Super cooldown. Still Hunt Exotic Sniper Rifle: High Precision and Synergy The Still Hunt sniper rifle excels at long-range engagements and precision shots, making it an ideal weapon to pair with Celestial Nighthawk for players who want to focus on precision-based gameplay.

High Precision Damage: The Still Hunt is designed for accurate shots, dealing high damage when landing precision hits on enemies. This complements the playstyle of a Hunter using Celestial Nighthawk, as both emphasize hitting weak spots on enemies. Synergy with Golden Gun: Since the Celestial Nighthawk focuses on delivering a massive single-shot with Golden Gun, the precision-focused nature of the Still Hunt aligns well with this playstyle. You can use Still Hunt to weaken bosses or high-value targets before finishing them off with your one-shot Golden Gun for maximum efficiency. Long-Range Super Playstyle: Both the sniper rifle and the modified Golden Gun shot from Celestial Nighthawk favor long-range engagements. You can keep your distance from enemies while dealing consistent damage with the Still Hunt and finishing off tough enemies with your Golden Gun when needed. Synergy Between Celestial Nighthawk and Still Hunt Precision Focus: Both the exotic helmet and the sniper rifle are built around precision damage. The Still Hunt allows you to continuously hit critical spots on enemies, weakening or killing them, while Celestial Nighthawk’s Golden Gun Super finishes off those that survive with a massive burst of damage. Boss Melting Potential: In PvE, this combo is extremely effective for dealing with bosses or tough mini-bosses. You can line up precision shots with Still Hunt to chip away at their health, and when the time is right, fire your Celestial Nighthawk-empowered Golden Gun shot to deliver a massive burst of damage that can instantly kill or severely weaken the boss. Super Energy Management: Thanks to the Super energy refund from Celestial Nighthawk on kill, you can use your Super more frequently, allowing for more boss-killing opportunities. This works well with long engagements or encounters where there are multiple high-value targets to deal with. PvE and PvP Benefits PvE (Raids, Dungeons, Nightfalls): The combination of Celestial Nighthawk and Still Hunt is ideal for endgame PvE content, where boss DPS and precision shots matter most. Whether it's during a boss phase or dealing with Champions, this setup ensures you can deliver devastating damage and continue to put pressure on enemies. PvP (Trials, Iron Banner): Although Celestial Nighthawk is less common in PvP due to its single-shot nature, the Still Hunt’s precision focus can still be effective in PvP. If you can land consistent headshots with the sniper rifle and follow up with the Golden Gun during a heavy push, it can wipe out key players in Trials or control zones in Iron Banner. Key Benefits of Using Celestial Nighthawk and Still Hunt Together Massive Boss Damage: The combination of precision shots from Still Hunt and the single, high-damage Golden Gun shot from Celestial Nighthawk makes this build ideal for boss encounters. Long-Range Precision Playstyle: Both Celestial Nighthawk and Still Hunt favor a long-range, accuracy-based approach, making this build effective in encounters where distance and precision are key. Super Energy Refund: Killing enemies with the one-shot Golden Gun not only delivers massive damage but also refunds part of your Super energy, allowing you to use your Super more often. Versatility in PvE and PvP: While primarily strong in PvE, the build can still work in PvP for players who excel at long-range sniping and precision-based tactics.
