The Boltshot reload glitch is already fixed.
> Please fix it… that is all.
The reason why the boltshot was put in the game, was because Halo 4 was designed around pleasing the younger kids, even though its a rated M for MATURE. under ages kids will still play it, and 343i knows that there is a major market for it, so they made cheap mistakes, alienating veteran players, just to satisfy the 9 year old kid, who can’t kill someone with an assault rifle or a DMR.

I’m talking more about the weapon balance itself. It needs lesser instakill range. Or longer charge up time or not being able to cancel charge with weapon switch and I’ll be dandy.
The overall weapon is fine. However, the charged up shot is a mauler with extended range. The range on the charged up shot needs to be shortened, the damage needs to be reduced, and the charge up time needs to be longer. If that is too much, then substitute one of the suggestions with less starting ammo. Such as only allowing players 2-3 charged up shots.

Have you tried learning from experience and formulating a way to fight back against people using it?
Rhetorical question.
The weapon is fine. Its niche is that of a weapon made to stand a chance against the hordes of close-range power weapons if you’re fresh off the respawn. Unfortunately, some people seem…hesitant to try and find ways to counter people who abuse it. Think of it like someone with a shotgun, forget the specifics on range - they’ll still be fighting the same way.
The fact that people complaining never mention about the flaws of the weapon does get tiresome. It takes time to charge, the charge makes noise, the bullet-magnetism for the shot is weak, and you have numerous armor abilities that can aid you in either baiting, detecting, avoiding, or stopping the attack.

Already found another reload glitch.
Fix it?
What are you talking about? They did fix it.
They just issued the first TU to H4 and fixed the instant reload glitch with the Boltshot.
…
What’s that?
You weren’t talking about the actual broken parts of the game and instead were talking about how you think the Boltshot is overpowered and needs to be neutered because it has a OSK range that’s longer than other OSK CQC Power Weapons?
Well of course I know that.
I was just being obtuse on purpose to frustrate you and provide a bit of humor for everyone else since I find the claim that the Boltshot is overpowered to be a silly one. Boltshot may have a longer kill range than the Shotgun or Scattershot but that is the ONLY thing it has going for it. Virtually every other aspect of the gun sucks. Sucks in comparison to other Power Weapons and sucks in relation to other side arms.
If you keep getting killed by it, the problem is on your end. Rather than ask for the weapon to be removed, employ any number of strategies and tactics to defeat it.

That about covers it.
I said balance it, not neuter the weapon. I understand it’s niche but it’s becoming a little tiresome getting OSKed at ridiculous ranges.
And please, don’t talk to me like I’m some random, I’m damn positive I’d wipe the floor with you, so relax.
If you honestly think the weapon is fine as is, then you are one of the scrubs who continuously are getting outshot and need to play on their heels with a boltshot as their only means of kills. Please, go kick some rocks.
tbh, it feels like its effective range is huge. At least, its the mentality that yes, this thing works better in other peoples hands then mine. But alas, im not a BIG fan of it… so i dont use it frequently. I only use it in one loadout thats designed for serious competitive gameplay. I like to play big team alot, just alot of nonsense and everyone knows its not FOR SERIOUS BUSINESS. So it has a diluted role to say the least.
However, in team slayer i find it to be a nice thing to get me out of a jam. It dont save my life everyday but I feel like its a bit on the excessive side.
