As I’ve been playing Halo 5 alot over the past week or so I noticed the Carbine is severely underpowered. It is not viable in arena because the magnum is just better in almost every way, and the BR is better in every way. Also in warzone it costs 4 REQs to call in…for what? It is worse than a BR that you can start with without spending REQ levels. I really think this needs an adjustment like a damage buff. I remember when Halo 4 first released the carbine in that game was quite weak as well, after a few months there was the weapon tuning update which made the carbine a very effective weapon, as a matter of fact one of my favorite weapons to use. So I really think there needs to be a buff to this weapon.
Nope.
Carbine kills in 8 shots which is as fast or faster than the Pistol & other rifles. Carbine is extremely easy to get kills with and is fine as is.
If this info is correct, then the Carbine has a significantly faster TTK than DMR, BR, & pistol

Actually it kills in 7.
Carbine doesn’t need an upgrade. Perfect TTK is roughly equal to the rest of the precision weapons, but when you factor in the recovery time for when/if you miss a shot the carbine is the most consistently fast precision weapon
Meh, it is fine, but I am not good with it. In 2-Reach I was beast with it, but it just feels different in this one. I can’t get the hang of it in this one. I pretty much always die against anyone that is even halfway decent with it though, unless I am really on my game on a particular day. It pretty much seems like you are either great with it or terrible with it though.
its fine. Its useful in Warzone. just dont suck
I’m terrible with it in h5. I can’t hit anything lol
Carbine is good at its current state, especially with the “Blood of Subon” being my new favorite variation of it.
I swear, I outgun players using the BR with the “Blood of Subon” nearly every time now.
The carbine in this game is a beast guys. Also its reticule is misleading because it doesn’t really seem to spread that much over distance. I agree that 4 reqs is ridiculous to call one in during Warzone.
Its fine as it is IF you are good with it. Most players, including myself, are not. If you can land your shots its one of the best precision killers. But it is punishing if you make an error and miss. So it has huge upside, but also huge downside.
Carbine has the fastest firing rate vs BR and Magnum. However against the DMR it lacks in power fighting against it.
yeah carbine use to be my favorite but its really weak in halo 5
lol what? The carbine is very powerful. It has the longest RRR of any rifle. It’s kill time is faster than the pistol’s. It’s auto aim is higher than the pistols.
What are you talking about?
The carbine is fine, don’t think it needs a buff

Carbine cost is being (or has already been) lowered from 4 REQS to 2 REQS in Warzone.
Yeah, my problem with the standard carbine is when I use the high rate of fire my aim suffers due to the extreme trigger pulling, but even with the automatic Rain of Oblivion (tier 2) I’m still getting more assists than kills with it. But I’m on my 5th level commendation so it wont matter soon.
