Okay so I’m trying to come out a bit on this site and I figure posting my ideas is the best way to do that. What makes Halo better than other shooters to me is that all of the guns feel completely different. I wish it were more balanced but that’s for another time. Having the choice to kill my enemy with whatever weapon I want makes the game more enjoyable and having more weapons means that if I grow tired of one weapon I can try out another. So Here will lie a list of weapons that I intend to update as I think of more. Basically, it’s a detailed wishlist.
NEW WEAPONS
Covenant
Needle Pistol
Rate of Fire- Slow
Damage vs Shield- High
Damage vs Flesh- High
Clip Size- 7
Spare Clips- 2
Reload Speed- Medium
A successor to the Needle Rifle. This gun would be able to 4 shot kill by way of Super Combine if all hits are headshots. Against flesh, 2 non headshots would Super Combine. Due to it’s power, the rate of fire should be near half that of the magnum’s. It’s time the Covenant got a proper handgun.
Focus Rifle
Rate of Fire- Medium, 2 shot bursts
Damage vs Shield- High
Damage vs Flesh- High
Clip Size- 12
Spare Clips- 2
Reload Speed- Fast
A Covenant shotgun type weapon that works similarly to the Scattershot with less spread and more range. This gun fires large concentrated plasma coils in a fashion similar to the BR but with less range and more power. A unique 2 shot burst makes this weapon one of a kind. In close range, it can kill if 4 coils connect. 1 to remove shields, another to kill. (On a balancing standpoint it’s actually weaker, and comes with less kills per clip than any other shotgun.)
Energy Shield
Not quite a weapon, but this shield has been in every Halo game. Normally wielded by Jackals, there is no real reason that it couldn’t be retrieved for player use. Dual wielding it with small weapons could make for interesting games… Sword and Shield combo anyone?
Covenant Beam Shot
Rate of Fire- Slow
Damage vs Shield- High
Damage vs Flesh- Medium
Clip Size- 9
Spare Clips- 3
Reload Speed- Medium
A deadly fusion between a sniper and a marksman rifle. This semi automatic weapon is a slow but powerful mid to long ranged killer. With a stronger scope than the Carbine and better range, this gun’s one downside is it’s slow firing speed and risky reload time.
Needle Blade
An aesthetic weapon. Spartans are equipped with Combat knives, but the Needle Blade could be an unlockable replacement which grants no benefit but instead gives a special effect like the death effects on Reach. Upon assassinating an opponent, you would use the Needle Blade to stab them, and score an instant Super Combine as opposed to a quiet slow kill. Flashy, loud, and fast. Just like everything else Covenant.
Forerunner
Binary Dagger
An aesthetic weapon. This would work similarly to the Needle Blade mentioned above. Instead of exploding the opponent however, this one would cause them to disintegrate akin to the Binary Rifle. Not as loud as the Super Combine, and it gets rid of bodies.
