Overview

Häkke weapons feature hexagonal designs and tan surfaces with orange stripes. Häkke weapons are simple, reliable, and focus on offense. Perks are unlocked first, with stat modifiers as the last upgrades.[1] They are frequently high-impact, low-rate-of-fire Kinetic weapons with better accuracy and recoil when they are aimed and stationary, in sharp contrast to the high-mobility weapons of VEIST. Hakke weapons are typically named after a famous ruler or warrior, followed by a letter (i.e. Galahad-E). Häkke weapons are one of three foundries featured in Armsday. They make Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Hand Cannons, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Sidearms. As of the Red War, Häkke had extended its arsenal and products towards target-tracking Rocket Launchers, Scout Rifles, Submachine Gun, Grenade Launchers, Sparrows, Jumpships, Swords, Glaives and Combat Bows.[2]

Häkke has had a history of gathering and storing alien technology, sometimes using it to make some of their weapons, such as the core of a Hive Axe retrieved from the Darkblade Kelgorath[3] and a piece of the Cage device Dominus Ghaul used to capture the Traveler at the start of the Red War, which would be stolen by Psion rebels.[4] Most notably, their Golden Age predecessor, Häkke Heavy Industries,[5] a defense contractor which had an interest in Xenoarchaeology.[6] Working under Clovis Bray I, they had attempted to recreate the powers of The Anomaly, but production hit a dead end until they were provided with the data for Synthweave, leading to the creation of Revision Zero.[7]

Häkke Heavy Industries also had a terrestrial office in Chicago and was involved in developing gravity-based weapons.[8]

Design Philosophy

  • Hammers, not scalpels
  • Relatable design harkening back to a lost era
  • Häkke is not about exciting form, it is about exciting function
  • A weapon's weapon
  • Häkke is the instrument of the people

Trivia

  • According to Bungie, Häkke is officially pronounced "Ha-kuh", though Cayde-6 will pronounce it as "Ha-kay" during Cayde's Stash. Some NPCs in the new Tower will sometimes also pronounce it as "Ha-kay".
  • Häkke weapons bear a close resemblance to modern-day weaponry, as part of their emphasis on function over form.
  • Some Häkke weapons have bullet measurements printed on the side. Auto Rifles are in 5.56mm, sidearms are in 9mm, and hand cannons take .44 caliber rounds.
  • According to Tower NPC dialogue, Häkke weapons are favored by Titans.[citation needed]
  • The Häkke Upgrade emblem was used in a community-wide Trials of Osiris Flawless win-trading method in February 2021.
  • A good majority of the firearms manufactured by Häkke have ties to current-day firearms
    • Most, if not all, auto rifles have a clear influence from the AR-15/M4 platforms, as well as generally having the magazine of the FN herstal Scar-H
    • Some of their sidearms are clearly based on Kel-tec, Ruger, and Glock designs, given that the grips are different
    • The submachine guns appear to be loosely based on the IWI Uzi, as well as some influences from the HK MP7
    • Their shotguns appear to be based on the Mossberg 500 series, as well as some being based on the Franchi Spas-12
    • Their sniper rifles are very close to the Barrett M82s or M107, an argument can be made that it looks like the CR-50
