How to balance overpowered or underpowered reqs

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Here are certain ways to balance out weapons that are underpowered or overpowered
Keep in mind this is my opinion, and these are in no particular order whatsoever
Feel free to disagree, or add some to this discussion
Oni Gungoose:

What it needs is a rework
Have grenades air burst their targets, make them fire 4 grenades if possible

Nornfang:

What it needs is bullet travel time
Make people lead their shots, this forces some skill

Oathsworn

Make it cost 4 requisition points, and the Blaze of glory cost 5 requisition pointsRocket pods (turret)

Make it lock on to aircraft, and have 42 rockets. Oni should have 60 rockets, and capability to lock on to vehicles AND aircraft.

Why not use the Weapon Tuning thread pinned at the top of the forums?

Well, you don’t understand.
Many people are complaining about the the items that were in the Weapon tuning, asking for a full revert.
Thats not what i want to do, **i am not talking about the weapon itself, but the specific variant it has.**That is a whole different topic

Hmmm… oni goose could use some tweaking those bouncing grenades don’t seem as deadly as regular gun goose. Norfang is fine as is, it’s high level mythic req. Oathsworn wouldn’t hurt from a req increase but I feel shotguns are hardly used in warzone as is so it’s probably fine as is as well. Rocket pod yeah it would be nice if they locked on to any vehicle really, or at least the oni version. But then there are enough rocket launchers and lasers to take care of vehicles. But if rocket pods locked on to vehicles maybe I would use them from time to time instead of auto sell them back like pretty much all the turrets. They just inhibit your mobility and you end up dead.

Oni gungoose needs airburst grenades that release cluster bombs increasing its lethality

Nornfang is meant to overpowered

Oathsworn is fine

Rocket turret can already lock onto aircraft it just needs a larger red reticle range

> Suggesting a nornfang nerf but not touching other powerful reqs like the answer, Camo, and whiplash.

I feel like this was made more out of frustration rather than actually using the weapons yourself and getting to more know about them. Hell, even the delta (which does basically the same thing as a nornfang, only with a vortex effect afterwards) isn’t mentioned in this list.
