Best weapon combo?

Hey guys I was thinking about what would be the best combo of weapons when I realized it would likely be two secondary weapons… the plasma pistol and the bolt shot. 3 plasma shots and then one bolt shot to the head. Also you would have the corner shotty and the car stopper/shield remover. The bolt shot is quick firing and accurate so getting head shots with it aren’t too difficult when shields are down. Sadly the game does not allow you to spawn with this combo.

So what weapon combo do you guys like the best?

Primary weapon: BR (nothing new…)
Secondary: Plasma pistol (it’s really usefull in combat)
AA: Thruster pack

This loadout works pretty much on every playlist.

BR and Magnum ( AA Regeneration Field)
U really would play with PP and Boltshot? When ur target isn’t close enough it can get kind of tricky to land headshots with boltshot. And always landing the EMP is also not really possible (the ammo for PP in h4 is already very low)
I cannot imagine that this combination would work against advanced players…u maybe would annoy them at least haha
IMO boltshot and pp are kinda lame weapons in h4…

nekrulz’s BR & Magnum combo is great if you’re good with precision weapons; I am okay but not good enough to feel comfortable not having something automatic with me just in case.
I go with the Carbine & Assault Rifle. The carbine is great; with its rate of fire and clip size I can go toe-to-toe with all the Battle Rifles without having to be extremely accurate. I usually lose in a Battle Rifle duel, but I can hold my own with a carbine, in fact, my CSR has increased as a direct result of it.
The assault rifle is good obviously in close quarters, but you couldn’t ask for a better gun to finish off a spartan instead of reloading. Halo 4 perfected the AR’s bloom, so if your opponent is making a run for it with shields down and you don’t have time to reload, the AR’s bloom with allow you to pop-off a few rounds at a decent range and drop your foe.

The DMR used to be my go-to, but it’s Carbine all the way now. If the DMR had a 2x scope I feel I’d get more use out of it. But then again, I’m just not that great with precision weapons.

I personally find the tactic of hiding around corners with the boltshot blast to be a pretty cheap move, to the point of refusing to do it myself out of principle.
I usually use “Firepower” with one precision and one fully-automatic weapon.

Oh that’s easy, beam rifle and fuel rod cannon.

If we’re including only loadout weapons then BR/Boltshot is the best.

Suppressor and Plasma Pistol. People who see me think I’m just kidding.

If I overcharged my Boltshot often, i’d say Boltshot and Lightrifle but… I don’t use my Boltshot much… some people might use it for close range while Lightrifle for long, I use it as a backup when I need to reload and land headshots. Potentially OP combo in terms of easiness but that’s not what I do.

exactly.

i think we should all run around with a flower for a main weapon and a potato for the secondary (the potato is for u to eat) lol :smiley: and the flower is for peace

peace
screw fighting

I would play with either a DMR or LR for primary, boltshot for secondary (the charge), AA would be jetpack, with mobility and recharge.
