did 343 lie about weapon despawn? maybe not but...

Weapons despawn way too fast. Pretty sure they are supposed to despawn after 20 seconds.

I’m pretty sure they havent been doing that. Just had two scale of soirapt despawn in what I’m VERY sure is less than 20 seconds. And even then, it’s way too small of a time.
Weapon despawn time should be way longer.

Weapon despawn in Firefight is brutal. Would love for it be to as long as they can handle.

I hate that they despawn at all. Really sucks when you save your reqs for the last stretch of a firefight match, use it on something expensive like The Answer only to die in a single shot and then having to wait 30 seconds to respawn and without any decent weapons cuz you just used all of your reqs.

It should be, but I find it hit and miss.

> After extensive testing in the studio we’re happy to announce that starting with “Infinity’s Armory,” we’ve increased the weapon despawn timer across all of Warzone from 5 to 20 seconds without impacting framerate.

Given the bizarre selection of respawn locations and punishing respawn times, I’d like it to be longer in Firefight.

The first few words in the title kind of sums up what Halo is now, cloak and dagger kind of ordeal. I’m sure the purpose is profit-microtrans induced.

Yeah it should be way longer or in the case of vehicles none at all unless its destroyed.

I’ve got a clip of me losing the weapon, respawning and not finding it there. I’m waiting for waypoint to update.
It’s one of the most frustrating things. Loadout weapons should despawn before power weapons if they’re concerned about too many weapons causing performance. It reminds me when they purposely kept it low in halo 4, but their argument of not wanting to clutter the map with power weapons falls apart with random ordnance drops and stuff.

Weapon despawn was wonderful in Halo Reach. In Halo 4 it sucked, it went away in 6 seconds, literally…or was it 7, I can’t remember.

But really, they need to somehow fix it especially when it comes to firefight. Spawning with a level 7 req weapon and immediately getting spawn killed absolutely sucks.

I think it should be 32 seconds to help account for responding time.

I’ve also noticed that weapons have been despawning faster than 20 seconds in WZ. It doesn’t happen all the time though so I’m thinking maybe something happened during one of the updates making the despawn times inconsistent.

Not only the respawn time, but the location. Sometimes it takes you forever to get back to where you were dropped.

How is this fair at all?

just saying, you got there way past the 20 sec mark, spawn distance does suck at times though

It can be a bit rough. It would be nice if they didn’t despawn at all in firefight

Yeah, you did get there past 20 seconds, but I still think that power weapons should despawn after a longer period of time. Bump it up to about 25, maybe 30 seconds?

I asked myself the same question when I played against you in BTB awhile back.
On topic power weapons should stay on the map unless they are empty imo. At the very least kick the timer up to 1 min since round 5 has a 30 second respawn timer + the amount of time it takes to run back to where you died.

It’s not that 343 lied, it’s that there may be events and huge fights in WarZone games that require a bit more resources and therefore mess with that improvement to weapon despawning times that 343i implemented.

Totally agreed. Nothing sucks more than getting a high level req in FF and then getting spawn killed.

Dude… Is your forum rank legit? You’ve made over 11117 posts? Impossibru!

Oh and the weapon despawns have worked fine for me. And I’ve got over 1500 Warzone games.

They do have a 20 second timer. Chances are though, that a teammate isn’t going to just pass a SPNKR EX up, or a Whiplash. They probably just get taken.
