Changing the Saw

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

In this thread I will briefly be talking about changing the saw for the next halo

The way it works
I feel as though the saw is very over powered even at farther ranges, to fix this the saw should have slower rate of fire so in term do less damage but also keep its range

It should also have bloom because its very accurate and to reward players with fire discipline or alternately have recoil like it does now

The design should also be changed to something a bit more bulky and more brutal, how the saw should look

The sound of course would have to be changed if the fire rate was. Perhaps something like an m60

What do you guys thing yes no?

Well, lower the rate of fire too much and its more like the Assault Rifle.

Its an LMG, a faster/stronger Assault Rifle, and it does that quite fine. Maybe make adjustments to its clip size and such, but I think it fills its role. Fills the area with gunfire.

It definitely needs a range and accuracy nerf. But I think its power and rate of fire is fine; it is an LMG after all.

Shouldn’t it be better than a faster version of the AR? More range, faster, and more accurate. I like it how it is.

The SAW is like a godsend in MP (despite the few imbalances) but in the Campaign, it seems underpowered (but that might just be the bullet sponge nature of Knights). :confused:

That’s how one should think about in real life, but for the game it needs to be more balanced. But I don’t mean a major nerf. Just dial back the the range/accuracy by 5-10%

i like how it is i just think between personal ordanance and dominion it pops up way too often i think it should be a power weapon map pick up only, just like all the other power weapons.

I disagree on the accuracy part. Due to a higher rate of fire, and LMG should be less accurate than a standard Assault Rifle.

Considering that it would have a longer barrel than the Assault Rifle, this would most likely be false. And we already have heaps of bloom and recoil to add the “inaccuracy”

LMGs in real life even with their longer barrels are disgustingly inaccurate even when shot in bursts. Which is why they’re mostly used for suppression.

For all who complain about it’s accuracy. What do you guys think, if it’s like the Halo CE assault rifle in terms of accuracy?

It’d be turn the weapon into an inconsistent peashooter IMO but the complainers are always louder.

I think it should stay the same as it currently is in Halo 4. The only ting I can see that should be nerfed is the accuracy. Yes, I agree that it should be more accurate than the AR, but it currently can be very accurate. If it was made where you got more bloom with lesser bullets than currently (example, instead of 4 bullets to start blooming, make it 2), then I’d think it’d be perfect.

Give us a tommy gun weapon skin, and the ability to turn our screen black and white…

All you need is a warthog and 3 wise guys with SAW’s and you got yourself a mobster team…

…what, haven’t YOU ever wanted to perform a drive by on some guy Mafia-style?

I think other power weapons combat it pretty well.

If anything, maybe just lower the fire rate a bit, it doesn’t need major changes. It is a power weapon after all.

15

I fell in love from the first time I laid my virtual hands on this little weapon and I think its fine the way it is.

16

don’t change the SAW, I love that weapon

17

The saw is fine the way it is. Just take it out of ordinance. It’s a power weapon. I think most people hate it because it comes up too often. it probably doesn’t belong on some maps as well.
