Kick out the noob magnetic Boltshot
I’ve been dying for a true plasma rifle to parallel the plasma pistol since h2.
Rapid fire, hold to charge (full charge drops shields, maybe over-charge as 1 shot sniper with a sizeable use of ammo), with 2x zoom, no tracking ability.

You can kick out its excessive aim assist and bullet magnetism and place it on the map rather than removing a rather unique weapon from existence.
A Forerunner gravity hammer would be nice. Instead of your body getting thrown across the map, you disintegrate.
An AR that doesn’t fire crayon rounds, that fires all it’s rounds in a Halo 3 sized reticule, and can compete with other weapons at 30m aka midrange.

Amen! Also called a good assault rifle lol. Hopefully a map pickup

We can give the best of the Boltshot’s traits to the Scattershot instead and then get rid of the Boltshot since the Scattershot is already established as a map pickup, it has a better design and it’d actually make the Scattershot a likable and dependable weapon.
The Forerunner’s don’t need two shotguns and at this stage I’m sure the mere sight of the Boltshot makes people angry so I suggest 343 stick with the Scattershot and make that better and send the Boltshot to the same pit that duel Needlers and Armor lock were sent to.
Im just going to make a list:
Promethean melee weapon.
New Promethean sidearm (Burst fire perhaps?)
An Electricity based weapon. (Covenant Shotty?)
A grenade that teleports when you throw it to land at long distances.
Homing rockets.
And thats all I thought of for now.
Awhile ago (before the one shot Binary Rifle was in existence) I had an idea for a one shot brute sniper rifle weapon.
The gun would have one shot per clip (which would be a big spike seeing that it’s a brute weapon) and would be an instant kill, sort of like the Binary Rifle. However, when the spike makes contact with a target or surface, it would brutally explode like a spike grenade after a few seconds, thus making it a good weapon against a group of enemies or against vehicles.
A weapon like this would give brutes more precision in battle and it would be a unique sniper rifle among the present sniper rifles in the Halo sandbox.
Let’s get a proper LMG. A forunner variant would be nice, and not make UNSC weapons over abundant. (There are soo many of them!!!)
Also, maybe a new needle weapon. One that fires all of its needles at once. A great anti-infantry weapon, seeing that needle do next to nothing to vehicles.

perhaps a new needler- semi-auto with bolt shot like charge and release. Keep the tracking ability. Or bring back the needle rifle with said charge up ability (not unlike the rockets on the mantis).
Purely looking at the UNSC weapon sandbox for now, this is how I would balance things out. I split the sandbox into four categories of weapon (Precision, MG, Heavy and Power). Each of these categories contains a Long-Range, Mid-Range, and Short-Range weapon. Precision and MG weapons could potentially be loadout weapons, whereas Heavy and Power weapons would only be on-map.
DMR Precision | Long-Range
Battle Rifle Precision | Mid-Range
Magnum Precision | Short-Range
??? MG | Long-Range
Assault Rifle MG | Mid-Range
SMG MG | Short-Range
Spartan Laser Heavy | Long-Range
Rocket Launcher Heavy | Mid-Range
Grenade Launcher Heavy | Short-Range
Sniper Rifle Power | Long-Range
SAW Power | Mid-Range
Shotgun Power | Short-Range
The ??? represents a long-range Machine Gun. I couldn’t think of a pre-existing weapon to fill this slot, so that’s something I’d like to see as new.
