I really have no idea how this thing works. How do you use it, and what’s the strategy with it? I’ve had it plenty of times in Slayer and just now got it in the my campaign run, and most times I just can’t get kills and switch weapons. It just seems to spray light balls and hit nothing. Any insight would be most appreciated!
If you ADS and charge with it the shots will stick to whatever it hits. Its a tricky weapon so I usually avoid it if I can.
A fully charged shots outside of Smart-Link or inside will cling to targets, with semi-homing capabilities. So a self-guiding Plasma Grenade.
Once it explodes, five smaller plasma clusters will split off giving an small AoE damage. Great for firing into an Armoury on Warzone for earning a few kills or corners.
Pretty sure only five cluster grenades pop out but still either way, they’re good for causing trouble in confined areas or going around corners if you aim them right. I really only use it for Warzone assault when you’ve got a dozen Spartans hiding inside a small building.
It’s probably the best gun in the game, just hard to use because it’s basically like having 15 Plasma grenades.
Ive been watching my friend who is 's beast with it who also happens to be really good with sticky 'nades anyway.
It’s really good for blocking doorways too.
It’s pretty useless in primary fire mode, unless you use it to fire around cover. It’s pretty much fires the same as the rail gun, you have to be on top of the charge time to get any use out of it. it’s a stand off weapon, you only want to really use it at mid range, you get clobbered at close, and it’s easy to dodge at long range.
Charge it like the plasma pistol, and aim it like the needler. You can rapid fire it, but the bolts won’t track. Charged bolts with a red reticle do.
Like many ppl have said hold and launch at ppl or in tight areas like a warzone base or aim a few feet in front of your target while in hip shot and bounce 3 or 4 shots off the ground so they hit the guy.
The best weapon when in the right hands.
Yup, hold the charge, it acts as a sticky grenade. Once a charged shot explodes it creates a small cluster bomb of explosions.
It’s kind of an annoying weapon. It’s meant to push or get people out of hiding (bouncing and shooting it off corners), but can certainly kill if you’re good with it too.
It’s great for area denial too. Here’s a triple from a game I had a few days back.
I’ve gotten a few satisfying kills with it but I was unaware of its tracking ability. Will take full advantage of in the future.
Think of it as a blue Concussion Rifle.
Then forget the Concussion Rifle because it’s nothing like it.
I miss the Concussion Rifle.

well played…
Its like the torque bow from gears of war, but with a Halo homing plasma twist.
“Betcha can’t stick it”
I have yet to encounter it in multiplayer.
