Ive had this thought for a while but i didnt know how or where to share it so I figured I could spread this idea in the community. I love the Halo 5 sentinel beam and its a great weapon in multiplayer, however I’d love there to be at least one other variant. For those that dont remember the sentinel beam came with the same update as the Reach grenade launcher. That weapon had one other variant to it, Pro Pipe. It came with extra mag capacity and the ability to correct it’s ricochet bounce towards enemies. I feel that the seninel beam should also have a similar variant, one with extra battery and a bonus effect. My idea would be wherever the beam hits it would leave a continuous burning spot for a few seconds. It would also make sense with the lore as one of the best way to kill flood forms would be to burn them. Just an idea that i wanted to share in hopes that it speads.
There definitely should of been another variant of the Sentinel Beam, it’s such an underrated weapon in Halo 5. Sadly though I doubt they’ll add one at this point.
I think some extra ammo capacity and some kind of AoE would be cool. Just something to spice it up a little.
