I understand that the rail gun is a mid-tier power weapon but I propose a buff, I think it should one hit ghosts and mongooses (if it doesn’t one hit mongooses already)- and have a bigger splash damage and damage in general so that people don’t eat a rail gun to the face and somehow live. It shouldn’t one shot tanks or warthogs- two shot or something, forget the spartan laser, it’s too slow in halo4, the games a much faster pace now and the rail gun fits this pace- keep the spartan laser for btb cos it can still one shot tanks, etc. so it still has it’s place. However I think the rail gun needs this buffs so it’s worth picking up with ordinance, it’ll make the game funner. What do you all think?
yes buff but not to the extent of 1shotting vehicles.
the railgun is supposed to be somewhere between the concussion rifle and the laser.
no no no no no no no no no buff
I have seen a lot of pointless posts, but this one made me laugh. Sorry

You do know what a “Railgun” is right?
The weapon is not supposed to have big splash damage.
Besides, unless you got over shield you die of a railgun.
However lag is a major issue in Halo 4.
I voted no because I feel the railgun is good as it is.
1 hitting ghosts is way to easy if you learn how to use the railgun properly.
It’s already a one shot kill on people.
It’s not meant to blow up vehicles unless you use multiple shots. But it can flip them in 1. Which can lead to a follow up attack.
It is already worth picking up in ordinance.
In my opinion.
Its not our fault if your too noob to use the spartan laser, the saprtan laser is very good and I see no probleme with it. it is already hard enough to survive in vehicules, we don’t need one more gun to counter them, look at your poll, almost everyone doesn’t agree with you.
You must be joking OP. The railgun does exactly what its meant to do and does a damn fine job at it too. You just want to use it for things it wasn’t meant for. The gun is fine as is
No.
Leave it as is.
Killing people in 1 hit is fine.
This game doesn’t need anymore anti vehicle weapons.
This weapon is already a one shot kill weapon, along with every other weapon in this game…it’s fine The railgun actually takes a majority of skill to use long range, if you know what your doing. I find it rewarding to get long range kills with it
I say keep it as is power wise. Only thing I would like to see on the railgun would be a scope like the Spartan Laser. but that’s my own preference for a scoped weapon. Not really needed, but a preference that might be nice.

It has a scope my man, charge it up then scope it in, thats the hidden secret of this beast lol
I got my first double kill using the Railgun the other night. Has anyone had a triple or even more with one shot?
What? Railgun is sick. Instant kill from close to mid distance, great accuracy, what’s not to like?
If you hit someone with the railgun, they’ll die, invariably (actually, I’m unsure if an overshield would change that). I agree, though, that its damage against vehicles (and only vehicles) should be buffed by a bit.
i would say no. at the most just a slight increase in splash damage, it is annoying to hit 2 feet to the side of someone and do zero damage.

I agree sometimes I find it to be so damn random lol, you literally have to have your reticle on the person or he wont die
Just enable a small ‘zoom in’ feature on the gun. Happy days.

As awesome as that would be than it would be OP, hahaha
The railgun doesn’t need a buff. It’s not meant to be a vehicle destroyer, and it does it’s job just fine. The accuracy on that thing is beautiful and a gun that could one shot kill multiple people better have a bit of a charge up. It’s my favorite gun because it’s efficient, but not OP.
