I’m probably not the only one wondering why the Concussion Rifle isn’t in Halo 5? Why is it not in Halo 5? It was cool, it was the Phantom turret. Can we please get it in a future update 343? Do any of you ask these questions and wonder why this gun is not in the game? (It is in the game on Phantoms, but it’s not a usable weapon.)

I think the plasma caster replaced it.

Honest question here. What role would it fill that isn’t filled by other weapons currently? Adding something just because it was cool is a bad reason. But I honestly can’t think of a reason to add it because I can’t think of a use for it that isn’t filled by other power weapons.

Also, the Concussion rifle wasn’t even that good.

The Concussion Rifle could flip vehicles more easily than other explosive weaponry when someone wanted to kill a driver and steal the vehicle. The Plasma Caster can lock on, yes. But when it hits a target, it can cause an AOE effect, which damages not only the vehicle very thoroughly, and kills the driver. For vehicles like Ghosts, if someone wants to steal it, sure try to jack it. But when you’re looking to flip it, a plasma caster could blow it apart.
It would fulfill a similar niche as the Brute Plasma Rifle; a heavy disruption weapon.
It’s not exactly the best killing weapon (though it can kill someone with accurate shots), but it can still mess people up. It’s best used by knocking enemies away or by flipping over their vehicles and disabling them.

I’d rather see them bringing in the brute shot. Or replace all plasma casters with grenade launchers in arena.

It was a weapon in Reach and 4. It also was good if you knew how to use it. It actually kind of acted like the brute shot.

What about both the Concussion Rifle and the Brute Shot? They are both awesome weapons.

But what purpose will it serve in Halo 5? If it’s in the game just for the sake of having it in the game, why even bother?
I never liked it myself.
It would need a rework, possibly make it a shotgun hard counter. Fires in a area of spread, takes 3 shots to kill, has significant recoil, and has a massive amount of knockback basically denying close range to shot guns and melee weapons. This is one way I think it can be implemented with out it being useless in the sand box.

You don’t need a purpose because Warzone. Just cram it in there like 343 did with every other redundant weapon.

Fair enough. I suppose I did forget about the H2 Beam Rifle…
The plasma caster kinda replaced it and besides I’d rather have the brute shot back than the concussion rifle

The ability to launch vehicles 30 feet in the air obviously.
I enjoyed the knockback concussion rifles gave to vehicles because I could send warthogs rollin’ along

True. There isn’t really a knockback weapon that has filled it’s place in H5.

Yeah, knocking stuff back was pretty fun.

I guess so, never was a fan of it but I guess since they are throwing in alot of old stuff just for the sake of it. The chopper from H3 really should return aswell.
it was great against groups too, unloading a clip into an area of 3 or 4 Spartans made to easy to mop them up, a great suppression / area denial weapon. I always thought of it as a support weapon. Can’t remember hop many direct hits it took to kill but it was pretty lethal in the right hands. And as others have posted I do remember using it to take out a hog driver and not destroying the hog in the process!
