Beam Rifle?

Noticed today that the Beam Rifle is not a one shot one kill to the head anymore! I took aim at two different people’s heads and it just dropped their shields. Is this an under-powered issue? Or something 343i intends?

Really I noticed the opposite.

Here’s proof. It’s actual footage of a game I had 2 days ago.

Depends where you aim.

No it just has aim assist issues. You can be aiming at the head but it’ll sometimes shoot the neck instead.

It still one shots.

I’ll take a look at the auto aiming, it was just right on the guys forehead at one point and it just took his shields down… was quite disheartening.

I know, it happens to me a lot. I just started to use beam rifles as my throw away sniper instead because of that issue.

There is a possibility it could be over shields or he may have a perk Upgraded Shield, which allows for more tiny bit more shield.
