Ok so I was messing with the weapon pad glitch and normally when you combine a mythic with any other weapon the weapon will have its normal colours except other mythics (and for some reason the storm rifle and carbine go completely red with no patterns) BUT. Go to a plasma rifle and BOOM broken texture and blue colour scheme. What could this mean? Did 343i originally plan on the blue PR before choosing the BPR or, is there a hidden plasma rifle in the code?
Discuss.
Here’s another image comparing all the plasma rifle variants and the “new” one.
I did find it odd they chose to include the Brute Rifle and not the OG one first. At some point they might add it, it would kinda make sense… Neat trick though.
That’s the Brute Plasma Rifle with the Plasma Pistol texture on it, and unfortunately not the original Plasma Rifle.
If this is the original plasma rifle then I’m glad they kept it out of the game. Brute Plasma Rifle and Plasma Rifle have very minor differences (Brute does more damage but overheats more quickly). I dont want more useless REQs, I want more gamemodes and stuff like that. Honestly, if they stop bringing in REQs im perfectly fine I’d rather have KOTH
What weapons did you use to make this?

Why didn’t they just release both? I’m pretty sure 343 Industries and Microsoft love REQs. So I don’t see the point of not giving us both. All they would have to do is alter the textures, shapes and stats slightly. The original Plasma Rifle could fire slower but stronger bolts of plasma, while the Brute Plasma rifle would fire weaker but faster bolts of plasma. Just like in Halo 2.

Almost every mythic will do it. I think prophets bane is the only one to not do it

I want an ultra ghost version, legendary sangheli, variant.

Wait, the original and brute PR did the exact same damage in H2 but the BPR had a faster rate which overheated it quicker. If they made the regular PR have a stun effect along side its slower fire rate and give it a little more damage to balance it. In the lore/wikia it states that a BPR fires weaker bolts, the fire rate is what allows it to be equal to the original.
I do see where you’re coming from tho, less REQs more gametypes would be nice but if we can get both then I know I’d be happy.
