Bolt-action Sniper Rifle.Fast handling and mobility. Higher recoil and flinch. Hold breath while ADS to steady.
Black Ops 2 veterans may recognize this powerful Sniper Rifle, a bolt-action weapon that deals heavy damage with a high one-shot hit potential against unarmed enemies. When compared to the VS Recon (another bolt action rifle), the Hawker HX has a higher recoil and flinch and is generally less stable. It also takes a little longer time to rechamber between shots. But the handling and mobility are excellent, and this could be the go-to weapon for players that want to ADS and get shots off quickly.
