Hey guys, I’ve been out of Halo for a bit, but I’ve been playing a lot recently, and I kinda missed the balance update.
Are there still playlists that the BR is 5sk, or are all playlists 4sk now?
I kinda feel like there are differences in damage when switching between them, and I was just curious. Thank you for the help.
All gametypes in Matchmaking have been updated with the tuned weapons.
I think I heard somewhere that some Action Sack gametypes such as Mini Slayer are the only exceptions, but I’m not sure.
I’m personally not a fan of the “Mighty BR”. It’s too forgiving and less rewarding.
The Battle Rifle…sigh… It’s current state is 4 burst to kill (11 bullets to kill) mid and close range although I’d say it can fall in and out of long range more that it should. Another “great” feature of the utility weapon is the 2 burst melee combo people were so fond of in previous installments, design to keep those pesky close range rushers at bay and also to keep in mind that rushing is not a tactic in Halo. But with an outstanding firepower and rate of fire surly there are drawbacks to this infamous utility weapon? Why simple answer is absolutely not! Well you see, what brings players let it be a old school Halo veteran or a new recruit to the same conclusion is the reliability of the all-too-great Battle Rifle is high amounts of the following;
Aim Assist: Can’t shoot fish in a barrel without it
Bullet Magnetism: Natrually we all miss, now this isn’t real so no one can shot a moving warthog (even if its moving at a snails pace) at point blank range so don’t feel bad! Because no one can shoot straight!
Hit Scan: Now bullets need to travel to get from point A (your BR) to point B (bad guy’s skull). Wrong!!! Why put stress on players who have to worry about landing shots when it’s stressful enough keeping a double kill! Well don’t worry that tiny little brain of yours because Hit Scan is your best friend! The higher it is the better!
Now this… Weapon of grace is held with the upmost prestige. Therefor once you’ve achive mastery… Honor ensues…

ALL HAIL THE COVENANT CARBINE!!!
