The halo 5 pistol was the ultimate weapon back in halo 5 is was the highly satisfying weapon to use as well and if it should be added to halo infinite, it should be the same kill speed as battle rifle.
Nope.
The Sidekick already fulfills the role of the always-good sidearm. It would be rather redundant to put two of them in the game.

unfortunately it was too good, i would like a new pistol that actually feels and looks like a magnum but not on the broken levels of the H5 or CE pistols. honestly my biggest complaint is that the sidekick just doesn’t look like a futuristic gun, just looks plain and boring, kinda like most of infinites weapons, actually just like infinite itself.

I hope they give us a magnum variant of the sidekick.
Like a fusion between the two. I saw an image on deviantart of what that might look like and it looks fantastic.

I think it’d be fine, the Halo 5 Magnum was sort of a mid-range DMR.

You mean the only weapon ever needed to be used? I remember the good days, of never switching that out. Only using the DMR in warzone and the BR for fun.
Well they’re adding the Bandit, which will fill about the same role.

That’s pretty much how the battle rifle is now. Ranked is very stale with everyone just spamming the BR. I think it would have been a lot more fun if the weapon meta was more like Halo 1. Start with pistol and AR, then only have shotguns, snipers and rockets. All these other weapons are very gimmicky and don’t belong in a ranked game mode. Should leave that stuff in quick play.
People are spamming three weapons, the BR, Commando and Sidekick. But in this case, the BR is a rivaling primary weapon in Infinite. However, its not a spawn weapon and there’s only two/three spawns for it in both 4/12 player modes. Overall, even if it is powerful, its supposed to be. It isn’t not spawn weapon and only a limited place for it to spawn.

I have a few ideas. First with the Battle Rifle make it sound dampened/tactical/ suppressed. The Infinite BR is so beefy that it just is such a grind to keep using. But it functions well so improve the sound.
Second, Bringing in the CE magnum should also be timed with a full on CE Throwback playlist using forge remakes.
The upcoming Bandit Rifle should excite anyone who misses the H5 pistol.
5 tap, short zoom (1.4 smart link, meaning it can’t be unzoomed), competent at most ranges in 4v4. Only tradeoff is you’ll have to fight some vertical recoil, but it should be less problematic than the Commando’s.
I think it’s going to become a community favorite.
I would like if they brought back those older weapons and their variants but spawn extremely rarely. Like once every 100 games. Not repeated spawning within the game, just once. And be sorta like a Easter egg, Not enough to mess with the sandbox and the overall gameplay.
