Why does this thing cost 4 freaking REQ points when it can just be outshone by the way easier BR?
It’s a good weapon, nice and balanced, but 4 points is a stretch, reduce it to 2 or 3 points
Hell, make it a loadout weapon. I love that thing so much and I want to use it more.
4 is still pretty low, but yeah, it should probably be 3 points.

So much this, It doesn’t obviously outshine the competition like the storm rifle does
its not as easy or forgiving like the BR, and since it suffers from the REQ system, you spawn in a bad situation that’s 4 points down the drain
Carbines are pretty freakin deadly. I think too deadly for them to be a level 3 unlimited use weapon. A level 3 one-time use would be fine.

Deadly but it gets outshone by the BR since the BR is easier
I’d like some other loadout weapons…so weary of BR.
This probably goes against what Halo has always had, but I think it should lessen the TTK to a six shot perfect. I’m fine with paying for it, but it feel just under par with the BR and DMR but well placed in the other power weapons. but if that gets a loadout spot in req 7, I think the light rifle should get req 8 (not that I’ll ever have time to use it).
The carbine has been my all time favorite weapon of the halo franchise but requiring 4req points to spawn with it is harsh. If you did then its gone. It’s a skillful weapon that is equivilent to the br, as such it should cost no more than 3rp. Honestly it’s hardly a power weapon, considering almost every other 3rp+ weapon can kill within a second.

Well the light rifle is just straight up OP on purpose lol

It should be a freaking load out weapon! I miss my colored Carbine in Halo 4

I don’t play much Warzone, but I know (I think) that in Arena, Carbines are deadlier when in the hands of a good player. Yes, BR is easier to use, but the high rate of fire on the Carbine enables it to outshoot the BR in terms of TTK.

Same, I think it should be a lvl 4 loadout weapon… I mean I already have to wait til req lvl 5 for my SMG.
And since you have to land more shots in quick succession it will bring the enemy out of smart link more often and make it harder for them to land the require shots at a distance. I just have a hard time with it.
But, there is those junk alien AR’s that cost points too, and that makes them underutilized.
I really like the carbine but idk about moving down to 3. I like the idea of moving to a loadout weapon, but I would REALLY like the light rifle to be moved to a loadout weapon. The light rifle was my favorite gun in H4 and I just feel like I dont get to use it enough in H5. Even when I pick one up in MP you dont have a lot of ammo…more light rifle!!!
The problem with the carbine is it’s a very unforgiving weapon, you miss ONE shot, or don’t get a headshot to finish then you LOSE. Straight up against DMR’s Pistols, and BRs.
It has good range, but it’s req cost just isn’t worth it when you could also get for 4 req points:
A whiplash rail gun.
A ghost ULTRA.
A wraith tank.
A voids tear plasma pistol (this thing is just nasty when you learn it can red-lock on from a football field away)
A normal fuel rod gun (might be worse then the carbine depending on the situation but probably not)
An active camo power up, or longest duration overshield power up.
Put this weapon down to 2 req points to make it fair to be honest. You still won’t see them that often but maybe it will actually have a use now.
Even at 3 req points, it gets out shone by other options:
A Hailstorm needler (one of the most powerful req 3 weapons and probably should be higher)
An oni-warthog.
The open hand boltshot (and the closed fist)
A normal or sword ghost.
But the biggest problem is it lacks bullet magnetism that is very prevalent on other weapons (the BR). If they upped the bullet magnetism just slightly from what it is it would reflect the weapon costing 4 req points.
Another huge issue with the carbine is longshot scoped weapons and better (sentinel). This completely negates any range advantage this weapon would usually have over a vanilla BR.

Whiplash is 4 and is the most powerful weapon in the game. Carbine should be 2 power.

It’s super super powerful though…
i mean the only req level 8 load out weapons just have swords on them, no range advantage lol

Whiplash?
Guns that we question why we’d ever bother to spend REQ points on. (Please make them loadout weapons.)
- Carbine - Boltshot - SuppressorDoes anyone else really see a significant advantage to these guns. I’d say they’re a personal preference at best. Make em loadout weapons.
