With Halo Wars 2 on the horizon, it only makes sense that 343 should make a Brute-centric addon to Halo 5’s multiplayer by adding in more weapons, vehicles and, hopefully, Brutes themselves as enemies to fight in Warzone.
I really miss things like the Brute Shot, Spiker, Mauler, and the Brute Chopper. Those made Halo 3 an interesting addition to the Halo lineup, and I’d love to see them in some shape or form in Halo 5.
Here’s a few ideas for unique weapon variants for Brute weapons.
Atriox’s Fist
Unique Mauler that sets enemies on fire. Fire adds additional damage over time.
Maccabeus’ Wrath
Unique Brute Shot that causes enemies in the blast radius to catch fire. Melee attacks with this weapon are generally fatal.
Parabum’s Claw
Unique Spiker that fires shots that track targets and can deal heavy damage to light vehicles. Melee attacks deal increased damage.
Brute shotgun with dual wield!
Brute weapons would be nice.
I’d much prefer COG Sighted weapons get the same variants as most of the other weapons, though… wait, Brute Shot with a COG sight.
I’ve seen some stuff that definitely infers we’ll be getting brute themed stuff in the near future in Halo 5 to go along with the release of Halo Wars 2.
I believe this will include the Spiker, a couple brute artillery weapons, and possibly a brute precision rifle of some kind? Anyways, it will be cool to see what is actually released and I’m really excited for it because I’ve missed the brutes in Halo!
Those are cool ideas for weapon variants. I like how you add burn damage to many of them! (Bit shaky on the brute spiker tracking variant but still sounds cool!)
Heres hoping to seeing the brutes in Halo 6 and many other things coming back as well!

Dual wielding sounds like a terrible idea for Halo 5 but I’m all down for brute weapons arriving around when Halo Wars 2 is release.

Only the brute shotgun would have dual wielding, because nostalgia. Also, bring back spike grenades.
We need brute shot and incineration grenades in H5. Then make a brute shot variant that shoots incineration grenades.
I’m surprised they haven’t had any brute weapons added yet. I think they should.

The only one by this point is the Brute Plasma Rifle and Gravity Hammer.
I want the Halo 2 Brute Shot where you could fire straight into the sky and the grenades would eventually land, like mortars, instead of exploding at a certain distance
I mean there’s the Brute Plasma Rifle, and the Gravity Hammer. So technically we have brute weapons already. (I just wanted to be that guy)

All of this and no brute shot or concussion rifle suggestion? 
Hell, I’d even take the good old Prowler or brute chopper at this point. Halo 5 needs some love for it’s brutes in the form of more than only 2 weapons. Even vehicles would be a good shout/thing to add for the brutes.

Umm, there IS a Brute Shot suggestion in there. You just missed it.
I feel like once Halo Wars 2 launches there with be a update with brute and banished stuff.
