Itās random. You just have to go with the flow.
Whenever I spawn with duds I think of that episode of Blackadder where the King is last seen facing 10,000 enemies with swords and all he had was a small knife for peeling fruit. Then later in the episode the King turns up and says āI made it, thanks to my trusty fruit knifeā.
But the reality is that good players / teams - seek out and horde the good weapons. They arenāt necessarily spawning with them. They are actively recycling them.
I agree with you! Halo 5 Fiesta was awesome. Infinite doesnāt have enough variants for me to have a great time in it (yet). I think itāll be great eventually, just not there yet.
I understand your frustration fully, but I think itās important to remember Fiesta is designed around being an unbalanced mess. While it can be infuriating to get decimated by the enemy team due to RNG, Fiesta literally boils down to RNG in the end.
Ohhh. Yeah, I forgot about the REQ system in H5. I didnāt play much of H5.
They included the variants in Fiesta? I can see why thatād be frustrating.

No, youāre right. The Tenrai event just started up again the other day and Fiesta is still broken AF. I spawned with the disruptor, plasma pistol, sensor module, sidekick and ravager more times than I could count. In my opinion, Fiesta has always been centered around power weapons. So 343 should remove every weapon type EXCEPT for the power weapons for Fiesta. Majority of people like myself that spawn with the sidekick and plasma pistol say āF*** THIS!!!ā and just drop a couple frags at their feet in hopes of a better RNG upon respawn. Iām so tired of spawning with the weakest most useless weapon systems when Iām pitted against rockets, skewers, snipers and sentinel beams.
Stay close to an ally with a powerweapon and collect weapons from enemies he kills 
I have it worse, i need Hydra kills, guess what weapon i never spawn withā¦
And for some reason, when i pick up one from a dead enemy and get a kill with that (happened 2 times), i just didnāt register for my challengeā¦ I spent hours trying to get my last kills with it, just without any succesā¦
Hydra kills? Try and loading onto Behemoth in slayer or ctf. Hydra spawns in one of those corners. Wait for an enemy to get caught out in the open. Also it tears hogs apart.
You can also try BXRing since itās like the mangler where a melee into a body -Yoink!- will kill.
Its fiestaā¦Its supposed to be chaotic with bad RNG. Thatās the entire point of the mode. If you donāt like what you spawned with then grab one of the hundreds of weapons sitting on the floor from dead players.
The RNG is actually working as intended. Its just you.
I hate fiesta in this game. On the surface it should work, almost every weapon in Infinite is strong on its own for once. But then you throw in equipment and a few specific weapons become very overpowered in that context. I swear every game I struggle against entire teams that spawn with rockets and swords While I spawn over and over with a disruptor and a Ravager.
I canāt remember the thread but I believe there is a thread about the RNG and the OP ran a test with tracking which weapon spawns and how many times in a row. The results were pretty even on weapon spawns with a theory of that while we feel opponents always have the easier to use power weapons that it was likely due to people picking up those weapons when the owner was killed.
Maybe try searching for āFiesta RNGā
Its this exactly. People pick up better power weapons from dead players. If I get the sword or hammer, I go out of my way to find a grappling hook for example. Rarely do I actually spawn with that combo.

The RNG wouldnāt be nearly as bad if the challenge system we had wasnāt total complete garbage. Like you really expect me to get a backsmack in Fiesta? Or stop a multikill when I get plasma pistol, assault rifle for the third time in a row?
Do you specifically need the back smack in Fiesta?
But it shouldnāt be a problem. Plenty of players using scoped weapons and completely unaware. You have a radar to camp with (if you must). And a couple of the maps have camo (golden ticket for a back smack).
And Killjoy? Sadly I thought they were going to get rid of that one. But still. It happens on a regular basis in Fiesta.
Just looked up my last five games of Fiesta. In total, between the 8 players, there were 11 killjoys and 9 back smacks. Honestly, thatās more killjoys and less back smacks than I was expecting.
Sounds like a case of rose tinted glasses to me. Someone is forgetting all the times they spawned with not but a lowly Plasma Rifle in Reach Fiesta.
Itās fiesta OP. Itās not a game where you try to win.
Thatās nonsense. I can get really competitive in fiesta.
Thatās an aside tho.
Fiesta is ultimately a test of how well you can handle all corners of the sandbox. Fiesta is fine. Some players just need more practice with weapons that arenāt ar, br, mk, hammer, sword and rockets.
Fiesta is rigged for any match I donāt spawn with a rocket launcher at least three times.
Other than that, itās all good.
