With how powerful and abundant enemies are in WZFF it rarely makes sense to use power weapons simply due to ammo restraints. For certain round 5’s I had used Heartseaker incinerator cannons, Selene’s Silence Spartan lazer, and more just to only do a miniscule amount of damage to a boss. In some cases the power weapons are just to clear the dozen or so knights guarding the boss. My point is that some times a power weapon is the only option (for cases such as the Warden or Mantis spawning inside a building), and it would be nice if we could spend our Random Weapon REQ as ammo for our power weapons. It just makes sense when you consider how near useless a power weapon is against higher bosses. So in short my ideas are:
- Having power weapons able to be reloaded through Random Weapon REQ (either LV 3,4, or 5 depending on power weapons REQ LV) as a one time reload for said power weapon.
OR
- Have the power weapon able to be bought subsequently for a lower REQ cost after the initial weapon purchase. An example could be that if you spend for a LV 8 REQ weapon, you should be able to reload the weapon through repurchasing it, but only for 6 REQ.
Anyone think either of these ideas could work?
I like idea #2.
Power weapon ammo does seem like an issue in Warzone Firefight. I once requested a sniper rifle to destroy a golden ghost. I put every single shot into the weak-spot and only drained its health by like 25%, but a few of us were able to finish it off with DMR’s, go figure.
I think #2 would be nice to have, as long as it only functions that way in Firefight only. I don’t think reloadable power weapons would go well in regular Warzone.

For regular WZ it would be too much, but I was posting this thread only in regard to FF. I think 343i could easily modify it for FF only though.
Something like this could work. Either way, something needs to be done to make Power Weapon REQs viable in WZFF.
I like the second idea but make it half the req. It takes awhile to get more req points when you’re on the final round.

Well maybe a third of the cost might be good.
