I may be bludgeoning a deceased equine with this, but in regards to the new weapon tuning that is being made by 343, there is one weapon I believe needs tuning just as much if not more than the primary weapons, and this weapon is the boltshot. I just don’t believe a one-shot-kill weapon in the secondary slot is good for multiplayer. The boltshot, quite simply, puts a power weapon in the hands of everyone who selects it as a secondary weapon, and judging from experience, that is just about everyone. People are forced to equip the boltshot for defense from other boltshotters. If the boltshot remains a secondary weapon, I believe it is in the best interest of the game to nerf the boltshot’s power so that it is no longer a one-shot-kill, and for the boltshot to be put on an even playing field with the plasma pistol. Thanks for reading.
Nah it is fine it has to be fully charged for an OHK and on top of that it has quite a long cool down afterwards.
Basically you miss that first shot your toast.
Not a lot of people miss that one shot. A lot of the time it is nearly point blank, after all.
True but people do still miss it its more then likely better to just melee at that range.
I do have to admit i do use the boltshot if im being chased i will hide round a corner and try to hit with a charged shot. But people aint stupid (well most aint) so they will jump when rounding the corner and my shot may not hit fully on even when fully charged. So there i am with a huge cool down time like a sitting duck and its bye bye me.
Not sure but i think you cant even swap weapons while the boltshot cools down.
Just use Hardlight Shield.
If your lucky the shot will bounce back, killing the boltshot user.
Its fun o think off how that guy would reacted like: what the -yoink- just happend?
I agree that the boltshot was a terrible addition to the game. You should never have a 1sk weapon in your back pocket as soon as you spawn
