In its current state im not sure if the shot registration is bad or the BR is tuned sup optimally. I need to test further but it feels like the BR burst kills on the last bullet of the 4th burst instead of the first. What are your thoughts on the BR? Because the way it is right now it is dominated in Arena by AR and Sidekick sadly

I agree. I find myself losing to the AR, pistol, and commando before I can even get the 4th burst off and that’s with me hitting every shot while firing as fast as I can. I pretty much only use it as a marksman rifle at this point, not for actual fights.
Its not that the BR is weak its that the AR is too strong, the BR has the same TTK as H3
3 bosy shots and 1 head shot for a 4sk
The BR is perfect…its the AR that needs to be toned down

I agree with that AR is very strong. Sidekick needs toned down also though. Spam goes unpunished. BR registration feel good to you?

Serious balancing issues across the board mate. You arent the only one noticing it. Ttk needs tuning too.that’s not to mention the player collision being off, and how vehicles had the durability of a piece of paper. So far it feels nothing like halo. I don’t know what 343 was doing between the tech tests and this beta. But this needs a lot of work.
Def needs a tune up. Ive had multiple mid range engagements where AR somehow dummies BR which is wild lol. Rather carry the side kick currently which IMO was one of the reasons I hated H5 as much as I did. Pistol shouldnt be the go to gun all the time

I’m terrible with the BR so I couldn’t tell if I was just doing bad or what. Also, I think the only thing the sidekick could use is a tiny nerf on the rate of fire. AR damage seems fine to me as long as you aren’t within shotgun range.
Not sure why 343i felt the need to add recoil and ADS glint to it. It would be perfect otherwise.
Oh yeah the Sidekick is OP in its current state. Fires too fast with no penalty for spamming. Only way to fix is to either add needed shots for a kill like they did with the commando or take away the option to zoom
If you’re testing this in training, don’t. The bots can fire across the map with little to no spread on ODST difficulty and above; making the AR and sidekick seem more powerful than they should.
No this is from matchmaking experience
