Firefall Battleframes Introduction: Recon - Nighthawk

in the firefall, the nighthawk has the most of stealth skills, highest single dps and coolest sniper. in the pvp battleground, you can kill opponent easily in melee or ranger, as long as you have amazing marksmanship techniques. how about pve ground? besides the elites and boss, other mob easy to handle. now, we are glad to introduce my nighthawk and share my personal gaming experience here.

to play nighthawk well, you should arm with a great gun and the power rating be high. as a newbie, how can we do that?

the position of nighthawk in the team:

1.in the team work, nighthawk attack the primary or neglected enemies.
2.take advantage of decoy, and steal ares items.

the skills of nighthawk:

decoy:

activating the ability turns the player invisible for several seconds or until the player fires. the ability also leaves behind a decoy that looks like the player, and all enemies would attack the decoy instead. this skill would very useful to attack the monster attention to focus on decoy so that you have enough time to escape.

smoke screen:

frankly, the smoke screen isn’t useful, although you would be invisible among the smoke, it would blind your view and decrease the allies’ buff. when you release and give the ares quest items, as well as avoiding the enemies, smoke screen would be the best choice!

cryo grenade and remote explosive

actually, these skills wouldn’t cause huge dps but the cryo grenade is good at offering the ability of decrease 40% movement, and remote explosive can control the explosive time.

sin beacon and excution

this is a recon skill that fires a sin beacon that puts enemies near it into sin. scanned enemies become visible through walls and have the vulnerable effect applied to them, causing them to take increased damage from all sources. after use the excution, during the skill duration, your attack speed would increase 20% - 46% each time. you can use it with the hkm together.

resonating bolts

the resonating bolts only has 10 seconds cd, you can reserve 9 bolts at most. to match with the assult 30 perk, it would increase 15% attack speed, movement speed for you and allies.
