It takes forever to shoot, it’s very inconsistent, it can hardly do damage to air vehicle because it’s so easy to avoid its shots. It really needs a buff, I think this is one of the weapons that should’ve been improved.

Agreed, but there is a better and more consistent Splaser that fits what you’d want (read: Selene’s Lance).
I don’t know I’ve never had a problem getting my shots in with a laser. It was hard getting use to it at first though from the reach laser
Against a banshee I know what you mean (spam rollers) good luck locking on let alone getting a hit on that…
Here’s the trick: aim away from your target so it can’t see the targeting laser. At the last second, aim at the vehicle. It’s as difficult to dodge as a sniper round, no matter what the vehicle is.
If it still doesn’t work for you, try the Endgame, which has a much faster charge cycle, or Selene’s Lance.

Love the endgame. The quick charge is awesome. Very effective in Fiesta when you spawn with a Laser. When I spawn with one as my secondary weapon, first thing I do is check what color it is…

This same trick can also be used for the Binary Rifle.
I use Splaser for ground vehicles considering it’s so slow to charge. EndGame and Selene’s Lance for air vehicles or an occasional spartan that’s not moving around.
The spartan laser just takes some practice to get good with, just like any weapon. As many others have posted, do not “paint” your target the entire time you are charging. This is especially true with Banshees and Phaetons since they have the boost/evade and can time that with your shot

So you want to buff it because you can’t aim or time your shot properly? Wat

The Banshee was nerfed so it takes 3 seconds before it can do a second flip. If you can’t time your shots between the 3 second flips, then you need to practice with the laser like the OP needs to as well.
Yeah…the SL’s in H5 are terrible tbh. Never cared for anyone of the upgrades either.

How recent was that nerf? I don’t really play Warzone anymore regardless. But the few times I have I haven’t seen one so maybe that’s why.

I don’t remember the exact date, but I think it was a few months ago.

Well as long as it’s actually possible to lock onto it with a rocket launcher I can’t complain

I did a quick search and it was actually nerfed during the Overtime update on November 2nd. Link. So a little earlier than I remembered.
This is probably better suited in the weapon tuning / sandbox update threads
