Bringing Back the Concussion Rifle for H5 Warzone

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Now that people have tried out Warzone Firefight, are any of you annoyed by the powerful concussion rounds delivered by the phantom’s concussion turrets? Anyone want the Halo 4 concussion rifle to return in Halo 5? Here are my thoughts about the Halo 5 concussion rifle for Warzone:

Level 3 REQ - Halo 4 Concussion Rifle (5 rounds per clip, 15 rounds total) - Uncommon Rarity
Level 4 REQ - Improved Concussion Rifle (Fires faster, 10 rounds per clip, 30 rounds total) - Rare Rarity
Level 5 REQ - Ultra Concussion Rifle (Fires a cluster of 5 bolts per round, deals splash damage with lingering effect, 5 rounds per clip, 15 rounds total) - Ultra Rare Rarity

I liked using the concussion rifle back then because it made people bounce… if used correctly, you can bounce someone off the map with quite ease. Any thoughts?

I’d rather have the Brute Shot back than the Concussion Rifle.

Just my opinion. the Concussion Rifle wasn’t nearly as memorable in design. They both have the same functionality too.

^ yay to the brute shot, also the spiker would be sweet to bring back. Personally I want to see the needle rifle moreso, with all the precision rifles available to choose from in SWAT games.

I think the Concussion Rifle is more likely to be added, simply because the model for the projectiles already exists in the games, and 343 has no incentive to add more models into the game.

or both

What is a “Plasma Caster?”

Honestly, I’d like to see the Plasma Launcher or the Grenade Launcher. If the Needle Rifle was a loadout weapon and not a REQ, I’d be down for that (was pretty disappointed when the Halo 1 pistol wasn’t a loadout weapon like the Halo 2 BR)

If they do, I’d rather the Halo Reach one.

You know, the one that just messes with everything. Knock over warthogs, knock players backwards, extra jump height, the splash damage that mostly just annoys and disorients whoever is on the receiving end.

That one.

That’s true I did quite like the concussion rifle.

Agreed, even though the concussion rounds from the phantom’s turret is blue, it wouldn’t be difficult to implement a concussion rifle into halo 5
