I want my Spartan to feel like Han Solo
I don’t know, something about revolvers that click and spin that you hold up right when not in use are so fun, I just feel like this might be something different for the game and I just wanted to bring this suggestion up, I know people are very passionate about the Magnum but I feel like a space revolver would bring abit of variety and interest.
EDIT:
Okay, so alot of people are asking where it fits in the sandbox and how the mangler is a revolver, but my idea for a revolver in halo stems pretty much works like the dead eye in Red Dead “how do you get dead eye to work in real time?” You don’t, I just want a fast gun that looks cool and feels different.
(How it plays in my head):
I was thinking a slower reload time than a sniper, 6 round mag, fast fire rate, close/mid combat range and one bullet does half the damage of a sniper round, head shot instant death.
(How it looks):
Typical cowboy revolver with a UNSC look and long barrel, firing you rapidly handcock the gun, hold up right when not in use and flips gun and barrel pops out when reloading bullets.
I feel like this would be a good idea, the UNSC needed to make cheap weapons because, war, and that was how they did it

Dude, can you imagine blowing up one of those explosive canisters with a revolver and spinning it right after? I just joined waypoint to suggest that badassery haha.
well then. good thing that exits as the mangler. cause thats basically a revolver made by brutes.
It’s hiiiigghhh noooonnnn
Nope, a Revolver definitely isn’t needed in the weapon sandbox.
Not everything one can think of should be added just for the “rule of cool”.

This would actually be pretty cool. You can have a slightly less sniper reload time too. It would be absolutely broken on PC though lol. It would have to be a power weapon.

> Very good point, but I’m not adding this for aesthetics I’m wanting this to act as a pocket sniper that’s less powerful, takes longer to reload but can pistol whip pretty quickly and do damage in close combat. Sorry I should have went into more depth about how it plays.
Wait till you guys see the new campaign gameplay that came out 11 months ago!
In all seriousness the mangler is literally a revolver

I’ve used the Mangler myself, I agree but in my head it plays alot different, it’s a power weapon.

I feel like the mangler will likely be a two shot headshot or three shot body kill, granted it won’t have a fast firerate at all. I think 343 is going for a sleek and streamlined sandbox, so you really have to ask yourself where a gun like this would fit into the sandbox. Is it better at close range than the AR? Should it be? What about the commando or the BR?

Eh fast fire rate is not something a revolver does lol

I’m not trying to break the sandbox I’m just saying this is a weapon that plays like a sniper or a grenade launcher, once you get it if you’re good with it at close or midrange and you time your headshots or have people lined up in a room with a revolver…Run, that’s the idea I have with this but I’m no expert by any means.

Not being that realistic with it, I’m more Red Dead and Clint Eastwooding it. Fast fire, clear a room or standoff quickly.
