Quantum Exchange Event (Season 1 Reloaded)

The Hawker HX is a bolt-action sniper rifle added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in the Season 1 Reloaded update as a modern reimagining of the fan-favorite Ballista from Black Ops 2. It emphasizes fast handling and mobility but has higher recoil and flinch.

A fast-handling, mobile bolt-action sniper rifle built for aggressive snipers, trading steadiness for higher recoil and flinch.

How to unlock: Unlocked for free by collecting 100 bottle caps in the Quantum Exchange (Fallout crossover) event and exchanging them for the weapon.
