So i know dexterity makes you swap weapons and reload faster but does it work for the storm rifle and plasm a pistol and such right now im trying to max out the storm rifke as the last loadout covenant weapon i need and was wondering if the dexterity even makes a difference or not and is it just me or is it kinda hard to move around in halo like it feels boxing not really smooth but i also have been playing new first person shooter games and the tranistions are alot smoother in them.
I believe it does help. I suggest use AR, Pulse Grenades, Grenadier, and finally Dexterity. The AA is really what you are most comfortable with, but I use Thruster for everything. This is to help out with Plasma Kills only, of course.
The Storm Rifle doesn’t need as much help, but Dexterity really helped me. I pretty much use it on all my loadouts anyway.
There was a good thread a while back that had some good tips for Plasma kills. I’ll try and find it.
Dexterity will allow you to switch weapons faster. That’s about it. Though it can be handy I suppose if you’re using an AR to weaken them then switching to PP for the kill.
Allows to cool down quicker too I believe.
> Allows to cool down quicker too I believe.
Yep, it sure does. And sorry I couldn’t find that thread I was thinking of. It was from a while back.
If you’re not used to Pulse Grenades it will really help to start using them. They help with taking out the shields then just plug away with the PP. Use the PP in Rumble Pit mostly and look for groups, as you are coming up on them pick the one that looks visibly the weakest to shoot at.
Really the best thing is to try different combinations of AA’s, Support Upgrades, and Tactical Packages to see what works best for you. We all have different play styles.

Could I ask what you mean by AR? I’d of course assume assault rifle. But OP said he needs to max out storm rifle and plasma pistol. So I don’t think you mean assault rifle.
I’m pretty sure dexterity decreases the cool down time for covenant weapons, and it definitely decreases the time it takes to swap weapons

doh
Im done with the plasma pistol just need the STorm rifle now but its looking grim im at 250 of 1000 now but its seriously going slow bcause it seems the Storm Rifel doesnt deal as much damage as any other gun in the unsc or forrunner lineup
and im always finding myself overheating the gun before i even get the sheild down i hold the trigger and when im at mid range im a bit more careful but i still seem to be getting more assist then kills it gets so annoying it sometimes feels like the damage charts are un even kinda like mine only do 40 percent damage and they 90 percent the br is the only weapon im seriously good at getting a high kill ratio that and the dmr and the arqa3

Yes, I was referring to the Assault Rifle actually. Please don’t ever hesitate to ask me a question. If I have the answer I won’t hesitate. If I don’t I’ll try to steer you in the right direction.
Anyway, I use the AR mainly for helping with Plasma Pistol. It has a longer range than the Storm or Suppressor. At least that is what I use when I am going for PP kills. I use it to strip shields fast then switch to the PP. It is by far the most frustrating weapon I have attempted to max out. I can only handle a few games of it in Rumble Pit, before I move onto something else.

Wow! Way to go already maxing out the PP. I have saved that weapon for last, and I really wish I hadn’t.
Maybe try Autosentry to help out with the range, and pulse the trigger a bit rather than holding it. That will help with the overheat. I still say that Rumble Pit is going to be the best playlist for finishing this up. I had a lot of fun with this weapon.
Keep in mind you might not get the results you do with the BR, but you are working towards maxing it then you don’t have to deal with it again if you don’t want. I suggest in those times of feeling frustration switch to your favorite playlist, chill out there for awhile, then go back to it. You’ll get it in no time.
Good luck!

> Thank you very much yes i have done a bit of cooling off and sometimes i go and look at the surg armor to remind me what im working towards iv finally hit the above 500 out of 100 kills with the Storm i have gotten at least 600 kills in one day so i guess im not to bad what the gun just sometimes it feels like everyone is taking my kills lol though at some times i have taken a sheild down and seen someone using the plasma pistol and let them finish them off trust me i could feel there frustration with it but yea its soon to be doen im guessing within the next two days ill be done with it completely and forever and ill have my SURG armor skin.
The assault rifle did help
I’m also going for weapon mastery. Storm Rifle and Plasma Pistol are my last two. What I used on all my automatic loadouts is Hologram and Dexterity. The hologram is surprisingly effective because it takes the heat off of you while you get a few bullets in their backs. I actually got a few storm rifle overkills because of it.
Plasma pistol kills in 9 shots on someone with no shields by the way. I think it’s 3 or 4 when you have damage boost.
Dexterity is a must for grinding out the Plasma Pistol. I’m doing it now; it’s brutally slow going. I still shake my head in disbelief that 343 gave us this particular commendation for this particular weapon.

Storm rifle was one of the earliest for me. Carbine was the last for me. I did assault rifle, then I think it was carbine. I did plasma pistol concurrently with both weapons so I managed to get plasma pistol before carbine. I didn’t have a lot of carbine kills. As of right now I need 36 more scorpion tank kills and 60 more flood victories to 100% commendations.
As for using armour abilities, I probably tried jetpack but thruster pack and hologram were used in mastering the execution commendation.
Using an automatic weapon to assist in getting plasma pistol kills is what I recommend as well. Use a variety of techniques. Remember, 2 shot melee 2 shot for kill. 3 shot melee kills so you have to be careful.
EDIT: 35 scorpions.
