Hey folks,
so with Halo 5 we have been given the joys of Oathsworn and Nornfang, weapons tailored to Kelly-087 and Linda-058 respectively.
I think it could be cool to have some manner of equivalent for the other in-game members of Blue Team, our man John-117 and his boy Fred-104.
There’s the Halo CE pistol I suppose, but maybe John could get some kind assault rifle? Fred seems to roll with the DMR. I know there are already advanced variants of these weapons available, but tying new firepower back to the heroes of canon would be pretty sweet.
Any thoughts?
A mythic AR that shoots Oni rounds? Too op though. Perhaps 60 bullets like the class ar?. With Fred I have no idea.
I think the Oathsworn and Nornfang precedents carry pretty well… options of enhanced movement, damage boost… perhaps an overshield withe AR for lucky 117?
Master Chief don’t need no upgrades.
The books always talk about Fred’s skills with knives so he could have some sort of combat knife that could be used sort of like a gravity hammer in the sense that its a one shot kill at close ranges. As for John I have no idea.

I like that a lot.
Yeah John is the obvious difficult one, because he’s just all-round unstoppable… which is why I imagined some variant on the AR, like Shotgun vs Oathsworn.
The assassination 104 Ways to Die is a reference to Fred. As for Chief, a mythic AR would be cool.

Fred’s Knife; Melee Weapon (under the swords category)
Equipping grants speed boost, damage boost, triple thruster pack charges and unlocks several new assassinations.
I could see it.

I’ve always wanted to see a usable knife in Halo; definitely would open up some creative possibilities for sneaking around and assassinating people.

Yeah me too. I push the idea a little - think of the fact that some armours have knives and some don’t… you could open up different assassinations depending on the armour variant.
Probably a coding nightmare, but a fan can dream.

Nice. It’s something they’ve really opened the door for with the bladed AR, BR and DMR variants. The functionality is already in-game and I think your idea would be a sweet way to bring it to life.

Lol true
DMR with explosive rounds, lol
John - Classic AR with 60 rounds per clip, projection sight, increased accuracy, extra damage, speed boost, faster reload, weapon swap, clamber, etc.
Fred - DMR with Longshot (maybe Sentinel?) sight, longer range, damage boost, and automatically equips combat knife as secondary weapon?

Fred does have a weapon, he just doesn’t use it throughout the campaign. Fred’s M.O.S is the Spartan laser called Salenes Lance that we see him use in the movie Halo Legends, The Package. Though its damage reduced it takes out single contacts and the laser recharges faster. He also uses combat knives so that’s another interesting weapon id like to see. As for John, I agree that he should use an advanced/upgraded AR specifically for him or other Spartans.

Nice, I didn’t know that’s where Selene’s Lance came from. Thanks for the knowledge!

A DMR like The Answer - I’d take it.
Honestly, Fred and Chief don’t need no weapon variants. They are practically unstoppable with reg weapons
