i see alot of threads saying that the br needs to be a 4sk,but then wouldn’t it basicly be the ULTIMATE WEAPON!! like it was in all the other halo games? What about the light rifle or the carbine? How will someone who likes either of those weapons be able to fight against someone who uses the br if it’s a 4sk?
well i thought atleast one person would reply >_>
I don’t think so, the BRs rate of fire is significantly lower than the DMR. I think DMR>4shot BR, but at least you stand a chance with a 4 shot BR.

Light rifle is a four shot, carbine needs to be improved as well.
However, all starting weapons kill faster than the BR, all also have better ranged than the BR.
The BR has spread and kick. At the moment, it will kill slower than any other gun even in it’s own range. However, if it was a four shot kill, it would kill faster than most weapons in it’s range, something it should do.
The other starters would still outclass it/tie it in its range.

everyone is acting like the light rifle and carbine dont exist >_>

The AR, Storm Rifle and Suppressor would like a word.
Headshots coupled with auto-aim make everything else obsolete.

i use the br and the lr in my loadout and i think the 2 weapons have a prety even chance against each other, if the br was a 4sk it would slaughter the lr and the carbine =/
Do the math. BR is 13 bullet kill. 1 trigger pull shoots 3 bullets. 5 trigger pulls shoots 15 bullets. This is to show you what happens if your bullets miss.
0 miss = 5 trigger pulls
1 miss = 5 trigger pulls
2 miss = 5 trigger pulls
3 miss = 6 trigger pulls
But if it only took 12 bullets instead of 13
0 miss = 4 trigger pulls
1 miss = 5
2 miss = 5
3 miss = 5
4 miss = 6
Not OP because it will only be a four shot kill if you never miss.

>Lol, jk people who can’t out BR a DMR at close-mid range are just terrible.

With the recoil and spread, as well as the powerful automatics, the 4SK BR would work near flawlessly. Beaten up close by the automatics, but unable to make consistent kills at range, ultimately killing slower than the scoped Light Rifle and DMR.
All we need is a 12-bullet kill BR, with a 7-shot Carbine.
I imagine that 343i are accumulating stats on all the weapons… usage / kill rates / distances etc… and I’m sure they will subtly reign in any weapon that is exceeding their expectation.
I’m sure this data >>> forum rants.
Would love to see this sort of data… maybe in a heatmap type format!
Personally my DMR struggles vs BR at short to medium distance… and I get owned by the AR if too close.
I’m very happy with the balance.
But again, 343i data dredging >>> my anecdote.
