I was playing BTB on Deadlock. One of my favorite weapons, the Spartan Laser. I got it right? I saw a Warthog with 3 guys in it. I was like oh okay this will be a nice triple. Charged it up and fired it. Did absolutely nothing to the Warthog. Just damaged it. And they scattered away. In Halo 3, Reach, and 4 it can one shot regular vehicles like Warthogs, Ghosts, and Mongooses. But apparently, in Halo 5 it does not and this happened often, not once. Over a hundred times. Please buff it to the point where it can one shot REGULAR BTB vehicles like the other Halo games. I’m sure other people can relate.
I may have an answer to this. The Spartan Laser’s laser is composed of several “ticks” of damage. If you want to obliterate a warthog, you’ve got make sure you land all your “ticks” by keeping the laser on the target for the whole half-second it is firing.
I just opened up Halo 5: Forge. Spartan Laser one-shotted a Warthog without even hitting the weakspot. It’s possible you didn’t hit them with all of the shot, since the laser lasts about half a second and has multiple ticks of damage.

The spartan laser received a buff very early this year, if anything you should be happy how it is now and not as before.

Yess this. OP should be glad that hes playing post buff era.
All the shots need to connect for it to deal the full damage. something like the binary rifle.

Lol post buff era made me laugh hard. Thanks for that.
The laser used to have the killing potential of a plasma pistol with 2% battery left.
The weapons don’t always kill the way we are used to, heck I got a hitmarker with a whiplash yesterday. I was like WTF Mate?
I was gonna flip on OP if he said I tried to to kill a spartan.

Thats what Endgames for, yeah?

No I hate when people use splaser on people.

So what do you do with it if you’re team has stolen all the enemy vehicles and you’ve got the Laser (as has happened to me in several CTF matches)
The hit detection of the Splasers has been improved. The damage is fine.
The default Splaser’s issue is the time to charge. It’s a second too long now considering heavy armour doesn’t die instantly when shot in the weak spot, BTB maps are nowhere near as open as H3 or Reach, and we’re much faster than H3 or Reach’s gameplay pace.
I would much prefer Endgames instead of Splasers for H5’s context.

I think he meant ‘people’ as in spartans on foot and not driving a vehicle.
that had happened to me a few times but I understand is because I miss just for a few, I clear shot should always blown again the hog
It will ohko a warthog, but you have to hit the hog with the full shot. Maybe your game lagged and it only registered a partial shot

The spartan laser is a weapon that is very glitchy in halo 5 so make sure your not lagging. I hate it in halo 5. In one BTB game I got 34 Spartan laser kills. It’s ridiculously overpowered and the charge half the time doesn’t even renders causing the game to glitch and only does 1/3 of the damage. Note: didn’t only kill vehicles.
I would like it if the standard Spartan Laser did not instantly destroy my very-hard-to-come-by Legendary Phaeton REQs.

Over a hundred times? you’re obviously lying or not landing the entire laser shot. the laser is fine the way it is.

I’ve only used to Phaetons in warzone…
First time was on Attack on Sanctum,
I spawned in and realized I had confused the controls for Phaeton (thought that boost was b for instance, and that left trigger was missiles (I play default controls)) due to not using Phaeton since I played campaign many months ago… a Banshee was on me within a few seconds of spawn, I took some damage, but not extreme damage…
I see a scorpion on other side of map whilst trying to figure out boost and weapon switch, so I head back
While I’m still trying to figure out boost and running away from scorpo, I get hit by Spartan Laser and die instantly…
Second time was on March on Stormbreak…
I’m feeling confident as I spawn it in, as realized that boost was left trigger, and weapon switch was y…
I spawn over the fortress and there is a scorpion on enemy side… I try to kill it desperately…
I run away after nearly being destroyed…
I head back to enemy side, scorpion spots me, and hits me with a final shot…
All I wanted was a chance to have fun with a Phaeton…

Hit detection is crap for the Spartan Laser.
