We all know the binary rifle will make anyone run for the hills but after it was confirmed always being a 1sk with no need to get a head shot I’m abit concerned. Will the binary rifle be the most used sniper? I can only imagine how many ppl will use it more then the beam rifle and spartan sniper its like a game changer that can turn the tides like in infinity slayer or in ffa, ctf, dominion. Anybody else alittle concerned about this?
Hardlight Shields and other AAs, wow they might have a use now. Who’d a thunk it.
I love the Binary rifle. Although, the Binary rifle’ll be rare to grab hold of in Multiplayer games compared to the Sniper rifle and Beam rifle in my view.
More like rarest and least used.
Yes, because the user will have an option between all 3 of those snipers at any given time. A UNSC sniper will appear more frequently on maps than the binary rifle. As one of the employees said, a binary rifle is extremely rare.
Thats why its rare to find in ordnance.

Im liking it as well and i hope it is rare to get like in ctf dominion infinity slayer
Well considering in total it’ll probably only have Eight shots, and the fact that at least it’ll be a Three-Minute spawn timer on very few maps, with a less magnified scope, no, I doubt it’ll be used very often.
It’s more of a matter of pro’s versus cons. Sure you can get a one shot kill, but you don’t have a very good zoom function, lack of ammo, frequent reloads, and the fact that any person that uses a Beam rifle or Sniper rifle from one of the spawns at base will be able to see the EXACT location of the Binary Rifle user, considering it has the biggest and brightest trail. They’ll be counter-sniped within seconds.
It’s no more accurate than any sniper.

It depends on how common it is when it gets dropped either by Infinity Ordnance or Personal Ordnance drops. I would like to think that something like the Binary Rifle would be a rare power weapon to encounter. I think the bulletin mentioned it would rare. It’s also balanced out by two shots in the clip, spartan laser like give away elements, and the fact you can’t no scope with it balances it out too (Ninja will find a way to no scope with it, he’s that crazy).
Still i am more worried about Legendary difficulty with the Sniper Crawlers and Knights using them against us o.O If it retains it’s power even slightly nerfed is going to bring up some old memories from Halo 2 real quick.
Interesting i dont remember hearing it being rare to find but thats awsome to know
Its going to be rare to find and if someone does have it you’ll know because of its laser sights and loud sound. At least its nearly impossible to no scope with.
Personally I’m more worried about the incineration cannon, shooting walls, ceilings, and floors with huge blast radius and and bouncing submunitions I’m going to have nightmares.

Yeah, those extra shots that blow up in your face after the initial explosion is going to heat up things in the sandbox lol
Move over Tornado Gun, Magma Gun is here to stay D:

The one good thing about that though is that a noob thinking its a rocket launcher and uses it to close to their target will die. Stupid noob the incineration cannon isn’t for kids.
I don’t think it’ll be a problem. With the way the power weapons spawn on rotation and probability, it may not show up every match, so when it does, there will be a mad hectic dash for weapon control. It can turn the tide or seal the deal in the right hands. It’s going to be fun times.
Its a rare weapon drop from infinity. No I don’t think it will be used all the time, because you have to try and achieve it first.
Its rare and has enough indicators on it making it a position give away gun. I for one will stick to my beloved beam rifle.
I have a suspicion that Promethean weapons may be a bit overpowered. Especially the Light Rifle.
Didn’t some1 else make a thread earlier bout this but a DMR instead of a binary rifle.Oh and I’ll be using normal sniper or beam rifles btw
