Hawk GD-68

The  is a rocket launcher available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Hawk Genduine Dynamics - 68 is a standard ground-to-air missile launcher able to lock onto enemy aircraft and fire a nigh-undodgable missile. Featuring an excellent reload speed, considerable damage against, and the ability to be dumb-fired, the Hawk serves as an excellent general purpose launcher for players who also require an anti-air option.

Compared to the Shrike, the New Conglomerate's standard issue rocket launcher, the Hawk gains the power to lock onto aircraft to vastly increase the chance of a hit, dealing reduced damage in this mode as a trade-off. In exchange for this perk, the Hawk deals reduced a slightly decreased amount of direct impact damage, and missiles fired do not accelerate over time, thus travelling notably slower over distance. The Hawk's missiles will also not explode unless passing near an aircraft, meaning they deal considerably less damage to infantry.

The Hawk GD-68, ASP-30 Grounder,  Nemesis VSH9, and  LAV-LA are statistically identical.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rocket launcher. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
