Hi all,
What would you consider the best loadout for competitive play? I quit Halo 4 over a year ago, but I want to try it out again since there was a major update a while back. So what’s the best loadout?
This is what I use:
Primary: BR
Secondary: AR
AA: Thruster pack
grenades: Frag
Perks: Firepower
Perk #2: Stability (I hate flinch)
Reasoning: Br is love, Br is life. AR for CQC and BR for mid to long range, thruster to distract enemies and win gunfights, frag genre area because I find them more handy just throw a frag and pop the headshot, firepower so I can have both BR and AR, stability cause once again I can’t stand flinch, hope that helps I usually get top of the leaderboards every game with a 3 K/D or higher! Chief collection I want you now! Halo 2 FTW!!!
I would assume anything with a BR.
Primary: BR
Secondary: Boltshot (A lifesaver when you have no shields and someone is chasing you)
AA: Jet pack, thruster pack and Promethean vision are all good choices.
Grenade: Frags (I would only recommend plasmas for heavies)
Perk 1: Dexterity
Perk 2: Resupply (More nades = more kills)
If your playing infinity I would recommend Ammo and requisition as your perks.
Also mobility is good to have for opening rushes to makes sure you get the power weapon/power up that you go for at the start. For example getting the OS on adrift.
Well, I don’t think I’d consider any of my loadouts ‘the best’, but the DMR and Assault Rifle with the Dexterity perk are pretty good.
The Plasma is good on larger maps (for obvious reasons), but the Magnum has a quick kill time.
the map and gameplay type matter too much for anyone loadout to be the best.
For instance, on settlers in bigteam battle a lightrifle/BR combo could be best. GL using that setup on a more confined map.
scoped longrange - Lightrifle
any 1v1 other then insanely close - BR
closecombat - Boltshot
vehicle heavy - plasmapistol (also great for dexterity & corners)
BR has the versatility and power to pretty much be in every loadout. Your playstyle will determine the type of armor mod and perks needed.
Not 100% sure, but i believe for 1v1 if you are a good shot, magnum over BR due to superior ROF (and quicker melee) and both needing 4 headshots at closerange.
Primary: DMR
Secondary: Plasma pistol (Mantis players no chance vs this)
Grenade: Plasma (You will die if I do on close quarters)
Armor Ability: Camo or Promethean Vision
Tactical: Resistor
Support: Stability
For CTF I regard the best loadout as following
BR
Assault Rifle
Frag
Camo
AA Efficiency
Sensor
No point to moan about camo. Inheritors using armor lock in Reach are the ones you should cry at.
I almost always use the BR as a primary and carry a magnum as a secondary, though I just swap that out for an AR as soon as I find one. I just Hologram as an AA since it’s insanely underused and can trick even the most experienced players at times. Frags are good all around, so I always use those now, though I found the Pulse Grenades to be surprisingly useful if used skillfully. Plasmas are just free kills so I feel bad using those sometimes. Armor perks are up to personal preference, but only use Survivor if you’re a coward, noob, or troll.
survivor (the live if a vehicle dies perk) is quite nice for heavies. other then that - don’t use. even heavies, many maps have enough firepower to take vehicles down quickly (especially longbow) to forgo using a vehicle at all.
survivor is especially useful when paired with jetpack and plasma pistol in heavies.
For me the best loadout is:
Primary: Battle Rifle
Secondary: DMR
Grenade: Frag
Armor Ability: Jetpack
Tactical: Firepower
Support: Ammo
The reason I choose this, is because the BR can handle close-medium range encounters while the DMR is good for the long range battles. The frag grenades explode quicker and usually have a better blast radius than plasma grenades and they have more “bounce” so you can throw them around corners effectively. I use the Jetpack most because it allows me to get to higher levels faster than I could on foot. Firepower is self explanatory since it allows you to use both the BR and the DMR and the ammo support allows you to last longer without having to swap different weapons (plus you get more ammo than normal, so when you get your hands on a power weapon it will last much longer). Hopefully I gave you some useful insight. 
I love to run over people with ghosts so I use a:
Primary: Assault Rifle
Secondary: Magnum
Grenade: Plasma
Tactical: Survivor
Armor Ability: Jet pack
Support: Misc
Assault rifle for no scoping. Magnum for fast head shots. Plasma Grenades for Scorpions or Wraiths. Survivor to not die after Ghost blows up. Jet Pack to escape with. I got a 20 kill streak with this setup. Support does not really matter for this setup use whatever you want.
My Assault Loadout is:
- Primary weapon: Assault Rifle - Secondary weapon: Magnum - Grenade: Frag Grenade - Armor ability: Thruster Pack - Tactical package: Mobility - Support package: AmmoI like to get into close combat so I use the AR for a well performed attack but if I run out of bullets I use the pistol to finish the job. I use the frags since it has more possibilities to reach the enemy and cause environmental damage, I use the Thruster Pack for a fast get away to regain shields and ammo and plan my next attack or to reach the opponent faster. I use mobility to be in constant movement and get to the fight soon or have more chances to retreat to reload or regain shields. And finally the extra ammo since I’ll always need more bullets than usual.

This is what I use:
primary: BR (in my opinion its bae)
secondary: Assualt rifle
Armour ability: Thruster pack
Grenade: frag
Tactical: firepower
Support : gunner (depends on the map)
I think thruster pack has ruined AA there isn’t much variety any more every one is just using thruster pack.
One of my favorite loadouts is what I call the assault class,primary weapon is a storm rifle,2nd primary is a dmr,plasma grenade,and hardlight shield,tactical package is going to be firepower,support upgrade will be ammo,I like this loadout because if someone is coming right up to you just simply use the storm rifle,or you can use the storm rifle if enemy Spartans are swarming the area,and you can get those long rang kills with the dmr+you can use your headlight shield while your waiting for your storm rifle to cool down or switch to the dmr,anyway I think this is a pretty dang cool loadout.
