It only takes 1 second to charge, it’s an instakill, it’s very hard to miss with and its a loadout weapon…Seriously It’s almost like spawning with an actual shotgun and its laughably easy to rack up kills with it,i think it DESPERATELY needs a nerf now. Same with all the countless problems with ths game.
The only problem I see with this is that the charge on the boltshot goes off automatically like a splazer so if you miss-time it, you may only take out the shields. Also, unless you charge it up, it feels really weak. I honestly like the magnum better, more reliable.
I wouldn’t mind a nerf though, as I said, I usually use the magnum anyways. I’m pretty indifferent. Just thought I’d play devil’s advocate on this one.
Apparently every gun in this game is overpowered. Ive come to the conclusion that people just don’t like dying in Halo.
Nerf hahaha Its THE worst pistol ever
- it takes 3 seconds to charge.
- stop crying because you just got owned. Grow some.
At release I would have agreed but not now. All the side arm weapons are situational.
Boltshot is great as a mini shotgun if you manage to walk round the corner and surprise someone.
Pistol is great for a quick headshot if your primary needs reloading.
Plasma pistol can take an enemies shield down in a single overcharged shot.
Nerf it the gun would be useless.

It is only hard to miss the overcharge shot if the player you are shooting plays like a -Yoink- and charges at you blindly.
If the opposing player has any brainpower at all, he uses his gun and shoots more instead of trying to punch a guy with a mini shotgun in his hand.
It is actually fairly hard to “rack up kills” with, because it is the weakest of the three pistols single shot, and, more often than not, the overcharge shot is gonna fire before you have a chance to use it.
Adapt and survive, my friend, adapt and survive.

my favorite gun so no never its fine, saves my butt alot, anything needs nerf is the AR.
NUFF SAID
Watch the video.
First the DMR, now this? Do you guys secretly gather somewhere and exchange stories about how “OP” weapons are?
> Nerf hahaha Its THE worst pistol ever
It’s a SHOTGUN. The only way you could possibly say it sucks is if you didn’t know it could be a shotgun(or if you suck at using the charged shot lol).

Your kidding right. I rack up sick multikills with the thing all the time. Charge up, fire, kill. Spin around, then do the same thing. Wait for his buddy to pop up around the corner, then you’ve got another kill.
The AR destroys. I won’t even go into Damage Boost + AR… Other than that, I don’t use the boltshot. But since you said it’s OP and instakill, I shall use it now.
:trollface: :Kappa:
I still think it needs some tweking
The AR is fine all the other Halo games had a weak AR which put players at a disadvantage in close to medium ranged combat. The purpose of the AR is to quickly knock down shielding at that distance. If it were weaker, then the rifles would be more OP then currently. The Boltshot is highly OP for a pistol and probably could be classified as a power weapon, the charge shots damage and the range of the blast, as with the other shotguns is unpredictable. I’ve killed people out of the crosshair range with both shotguns and the Boltshot. It needs to be toned down just like the rifles and shotguns.
Honestly, I believe the only gun that deserves a nerf is the DMR.
Another thread complaining about a non-issue in Halo 4? I hate this place! I’m gonna go make my own Halo 4 forum! with blackjack! and hookers!.. in fact… forget the forum!
You literally have to be nose-to-nose with the person. It’s perfect the way it is.
