The '''Hawk''' is a troop carrier VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft that is used by the [[Last City]]. It is typically seen making cargo deliveries at the [[Tower]], but the Hawk is fully outfitted with weapons and combat specifications.

==History==
Hawks are mentioned carrying Guardian reinforcements during [[The Plaguelands]] mission by [[Shiro-4]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[The Plaguelands]]''</ref>

During the mission [[A Symbol of Honor]], part of the [[Beauty in Destruction]] [[Quest]], a Hawk arrives to assist the Guardian in defending [[Bannerfall]] from a [[Fallen]] assault, providing fire support with its chin-mounted rotary machine gun.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''Destiny: Rise of Iron - [[A Symbol of Honor]]''</ref>

During the [[Red War]], it was used as an attack fighter against [[Red Legion]] forces. During the invasion of the Last City, [[Amanda Holliday]] used one to drop off [[The Guardian]] on [[The Immortal]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Homecoming]]''</ref> [[Dead Orbit]] has their own fleet of heavily armed Hawks.{{Citation needed}} They can be seen periodically visiting the Tower Ramparts' Hangar, in the area adjacent to the faction's designated area below the [[Future War Cult]] space.

Hawks were deployed on the [[Moon]] to repel the [[Hidden Swarm]]'s offensive in the mission [[A Mysterious Disturbance]], where they fly over the combat zones and fire at ground troops with their cannons. They later transport a [[Drake Tank]] for the Guardian to use in further breaching the [[Hive]]'s lines.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref>

A Hawk piloted by Holliday herself was deployed in the [[Vox Obscura]] mission, first dropping off a Drake, then providing fire support in the assault at the rebel's main base.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Vox Obscura]]''</ref>

[[Anastasia Bray]] provides air support from a Hawk during the [[Heist Battleground: Mars]] activity, while activating the "A" tower and later when climbing the scaffolding towards the Mindlab.

A Hawk bearing the livery of the [[House of Spider]] is used to extract Guardians from operations in the [[Lawless Frontier]]. This model is piloted by associates of the [[Spider]], though [[Blue]] has also expressed her willingness to drive it.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/12/2)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Renegades]] - [[Lawless Frontier]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
When Hawks appear as allies, in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', they fly in a loop over the battlefield, avoiding the fire of grounded foes. Their main weapon is a an autocannon with high stopping power, that is typically fired in 2-4 round salvoes. Hawks are invulnerable to enemiy fire, though foes will prefer to attack grounded targets. Still, players shouldn't rely on them to deal with more powerful threats, like [[Major]]s and [[Ultra]]s.

The Hawk encountered in the Lawless Frontier is used as the activities' finishing spot, with players needing to enter its cargo bay to extract. The first player to enter can use the Hawk's chain gun to help clear the extraction zone for their teammates.

==Hawk-type Jumpships==
Some Hawks have also been modified to serve [[Guardian]]s as personal ships:

*[[Alpha Umi]]
*[[Egbe-01X]]
*[[Ermine TAC-717]] ([[Reef]] modification)
*[[Murmuration]]
*[[The Ruinous Flame]]
*[[Trirang Tox]]

==Trivia==
*During the 2013 E3 demo, the Hawk was used by Guardians to deploy outside of the [[Cosmodrome]]. This cutscene, as well as the whole sequence, has been replaced by the story mission [[A Guardian Rises]]. Hawks are never used by players in the final release of the game.<ref>'''[[E3 2013 Destiny Gameplay Demo]]'''</ref>
*Courtesy of the [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] expansion, the Hawk is available for players to use as personal [[Jumpship|Jumpships]].
*The Hawk's design is likely inspired by the real-life [[Wikipedia:Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey|Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey]] aircraft.
*The Bungie Rewards Hawk gunship replica comes with a postcard that details a Hawk's length, width and height.{{Citation needed}}
**Length: 28.35 meters, width: 20.12 meters, height: 10.06 meters.
