Overview[1]
The Hawkeye is a single shot, double-action revolver and is capable of 1 shot kills to the torso. It is obtained in the Brawl mode as the last weapon given to the player, where it is used for the final kill before winning. The Hawkeye has aspects similar to the Magnum, both firing in double-action and being able to down a player at full health. From there the similarities end, as it is is single-shot, and with only a single round in reserve. It compensates this with the ability to 1 shot kill or down through hitting the torso of an unarmored player. The only other guns capable of doing so are the Ithaca-37, Super-Shorty, BFG, RPG, AT4 and M320. However, the last four weapons all fire explosives. The Hawkeye is extremely powerful in comparison to other 1 shot 1 kill guns as it deals 202 damage on a headshot, allowing it to one shot head T-1 Helmet users. It can also break a T-2 Helmet, however a player with full health can still survive a headshot. Regardless of helmets used, if a player survives the first headshot they will not be able to survive a second shot, but keep it in mind that for some reason this weapon CANNOT instakill, like the Savage, despite its ridiculous headshot bonus.

Usage and Tactics
Although the Hawkeye may seem as a very powerful option against most enemies, armored or not, its usage is very limited within close quarters combat if the user has little to no experience with the Magnum. Thus the Hawkeye should not be used as a reliable weapon for actual combat, mainly since it’s ammo capacity is extremely low, and the fact that missing both shots will result in rendering the Hawkeye useless. It is a very high risk, high reward weapon. Other weapons may accomplish a similar purpose, without the same level of risk. The Hawkeye is mainly used for trading due to its rarity, and due to the fact its combat capabilities are terrible outside the Brawl gamemode. Be advised that for any further conservation of the item, storage in any alternative account or disposal should be the primary goal, being it’s exclusivity the main factor for a conservation and any trade opportunity, and being the disposal as soon as possible will assure that the item won’t be revoked after two weeks. The exception is using an account with the Prime gamepass, which allows the account to preserver any item with our suffering the penalty for automatic revokal, but having an alternative account with prime gamepass in possession is not reliable at all. (Asides storing limited items or extremely valued/rare.) It’s important to note that the Hawkeye was made exclusively for the Brawl gamemode, and then later on was implemented into the main game.
Pros and Cons

Patch history
The in-game Hawkeye actually exists in real life and is called the Ruger Hawkeye. This single-shot revolver is chambered in.256 Winchester Magnum and was produced from 1963 to 1964 by Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. Only 3,075 copies were produced. Compared to the in-game version, the real one does not feature a double-action trigger system and instead uses single-action. This technically makes it the RAREST gun to make a appearance in Criminality so far. The Hawkeye is available in Casual and Standard only through Scrap Piles, the chances are less than 1 percent The Hawkeye is the second highest damaging gun in the game, if you hit a headshot that is. The Hawkeye is the second double-action revolver/gun added to the game with the Magnum being the first. Category:Guns
