Once the other team has it and camps the spawn this game is no fun. Nerf? Get rid of it? Please do something.
Nerf it how? The gun is mediocre, but cool at best.
I personally think it needs a buff. It is way to easy to dodge and is only useful at mid range.

Agreed, I think it needs a small damage boost or larger blast radius. It currently is way to easy to dodge and outgun
It definitely don’t need a nerf, nor need a buf. It is OK the way it is. If you buf it, then yes, peeps will camp the spot to get their hands on it. But right now, it is just good enough, without being OP. I like the fact that you can evade the targeting system, which make the lock on not a 100% sure kill, if you have the skill to evade it.
Just spam nades at the spawn area if they’re there all the time. For me personally I don’t even bother getting it. Currently I feel that for a power weapon it just doesn’t seem to be powerful enough and yes like what others have said it’s easy to dodge and counter.
Rarely does anyone ever grab it, let alone camp with it. Lol. What is this thread?

Yeah. Other than the start of the match, almost nobody grabs the weapon. Who is the OP playing with?
I think its ok
Hydra is a joke. They need to increase the damage radius, as well as the projectile speed. Reminds me of a crappy brute shot.

Touche
Yeah, Hydra is fine. It’s not a total killing machine. This forum entry is more a complaint about campers than the weapon. Personally, I love campers. They are easy kills.
There are two issues at play here:
(1) The map it spawns on has a ton of cover making it difficult to land hits. As for my experience it takes two Locked-On hits to kill or three free fire hits to kill.
(2) Since it is the ONLY power weapon on the map it makes comebacks difficult. The reason for this is the same as the original two maps; they want to test the most basic weapons and just one power weapon at a time to isolate them for individual performance. I think Empire is much better due to more basic weapon variety with a Lightrifle and both a sword and sniper spawning.
I think its fine!
lol Hydra… We let the other team have it. Taking control of highground is much more important on Regret.
BR starts ruin hydra. I’d like to try it with AR starts.
so wait.
your complaining about a power weapon being a power weapon, and a team maintaining map control…
someone joined halo at halo 4 didn’t they?
that aside, currently the hydra DOES have too much ammo. (18 rounds, with 2 locked rounds being a sure kill…if they hit means 9 kills on individual targets)
I’ve done my share of camping with it. its a power weapon its supposed to be OP

Team shooting with BRS with light rifle support> all the hydra’s
