Celestial Nighthawk remains one of the best one-shot burst damage exotics in Destiny 2, and with Prismatic Hunter, it gains even more utility. The ability to regen Super energy quickly and deal massive single-shot damage makes it a meta DPS choice for Prismatic Hunters in PvE.
- Exotic Perk – Hawkeye Hack (Updated Effect) Modifies Golden Gun to fire a single shot with 650% increased damage.
Enemies killed by this shot explode, dealing up to 400 damage in a radius.
Defeating an enemy with Golden Gun refunds 33% of Super energy.
Precision final blows reduce the cooldown of your Super (1.5-4.5% per kill).
- Synergy with Prismatic Hunter 🔥 Golden Gun (Marksman) – Insane Boss Damage Golden Gun + Celestial Nighthawk is one of the highest single-shot damage abilities in the game.
A well-placed shot can deal millions of damage in PvE, especially with buffs like Radiant (+15%) and debuffs like Divinity (+15%).
Best used in Raid boss fights or damage phases where burst DPS is key.
