Favorite (non power) weapon pickups

Title is pretty self-explanatory, me thinks. We all love ourselves some SPNKR and Sniper Rifle action, but what about the little guys? You know, those weapons that can be found in the dark, damp corners of the map, but can still pack a punch? The Needler, Brute Plasma Rifle, SMG and others. One of the unsung achievements of Halo 5 is that it made the entire sandbox viable again (show of hands, how many of you even KNEW there were weapons other than the BR and Sniper Rifle in Halo 3?).

So which one of these little death dealers is your favorite? For me it has got to be the Brute Plasma Rifle. It might overheat faster than a grunt OD’d on foodnipple supplies, but damn can it shred shields like the OG from Combat Evolved!

Back in Halo 3, the dual Spikers were a great diamond in the rough. While Dual Wielding itself was a gimmick, it was a neat one at that, so if that were to return in Infinite, I would be on board to see the Spiker return alongside it.

This could be more of a general discussion stuff.

And depends on the game but any weapon is good for what they are meant to do. Generally i just prefer precision weapons overall though so id say such weapons are the first i pick up, usually.

Aye, the idea was for it to go into General, my mistake.

Oh and I had completely forgotten about the Spikers. The live action shorts made me fall in love with those things. Too bad the in-game version didn’t impale hostiles to walls.

When it comes to AR and Pistol starts, the BR will be the first I’ll look for before jumping in into the action unless it’s Halo 5.

Anything else, I’ll say dual SMGs is second favourite as the pair will shred through anyone in close quarters combat (well, in Halo 3 specifically).

No, I do not like the SPNKR. I prefer the PILUM.

BR

Used to be the BR before it was ruined. Now I would say the PP, nasty weapon of you get the jump on someone or know they have no thrust.

Gunfighter Magnum is love!

Boltshot, its damage is good and headshots combined with that lock on makes it the best pistol in my opinion.

Noob Combo or Brute Plasma

In Halo 5 I like both the carbine and the DMR. I don’t even want to talk about the battle rifle. A magnum can outgun a BR at distance…

halo 2 br, not the halo 4 and 5 br

Love the carbine. Hands down. It fires as fast as your can pull the trigger, and its extremely accurate.

I just like the OG BR or Magnum, depending on the game. They’re classic and versatile.

Magnum forever!
