I have a cool idea for a new weapon, a needler shotgun. It would look like a weapon with the barrel and grip of a shotgun, but a body of a needler. It would shoot 7 needles in a tight spread with high speed that, if they all hit the same target, would supercombine after 1.17 seconds. (Shameless Master Chief easter egg.)
The range would be the same as a base needler, at the cost of a slight kill delay. Reload would look something like that of the needle rifle, and the mag would be 5 rounds.

Ah in this way,I meant an covenant shotgun with needles as ammo.
I could see it, but it would be one handed very similar to the H3 Mauler. Maybe we wouldn’t need to have Elites using scattershots in WFF!
I like any idea that brings more weapons into the sandbox as long as they are balanced, each race should have a full arsenal. If we are going to have 20 something ARs why cant the covies have a shotgun.
I would like to see the needle rifle return as the covie counterpart to the DMR

no it was one handed, because you could dual weld it. It was like a pistol with a round mag like a saw but shot mini spiker spikes like a shot gun.
It was great for popping shields then following with a melee

Oh, the Mauler? TBH, I honestly forgot that gun existed. Could never find it in the campaign or multiplayer.

HAHA yea my bad you are right, I remember using it the most on the pit
That’s not very “Covenant” per say. I have a different idea:
A body similar to a double-barrel shotgun, with twin needlers at the breach area.
Needle shotgun fires two bursts of 10 needles then reloads (like a break action shotgun).
Reloading animation is the needler part regaining its spines.
Needles gradually spread out in a cone pattern and detonate prematurely at 40 meters.
Pros: Longer range than a typical shot gun. Fast reload. High potential damage.
Cons: Needs to lead shots. Must reload after every shot/burst.

That idea sounds cool too, but my weapon isn’t for the Covenant, it’s for humans. Like the Blaze of Glory, this gun would use reverse-engineered alien tech. Your idea would be for a stand-alone Covenant shotgun which seems like a better idea now that I think about it.

If its a shotgun it shouldn’t have that much range. It should have about the range of the shotgun/scattershot.

I like it man! I’d go on a killing spree with it haha! We definitely need (well i do at least) this weapon. 343 MAKE IT HAPPEN! i had an idea for a new Warthog which would shoot Binary Rifle beams (3rd tier rifle) with upgraded armour and emp damage resistance meaning emp doesn’t last as long. Lv 6 req at least, maybe 5 or 4.

I wouldn’t go that far… our needle rifle is just a reskinned carbine and let’s be honest the needle hog while kinda cool I guess was kinda lazy when they could have made us some sort of new Covie vehicle kinda like the Revenant but had a turret that fired needles.

And then we get a bunch of other target seeking projectiles and stuff that supercombines! We even have supercombining hard LIGHT! **How does that make SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENSE!?**And the White Scar’s stuff explodes into needles!
And the Grunt Jockey fires LITERALLY JUST NEEDLES and idk just like one non-needle gun and melee stuff.
It’s crazy dude! That’s all there iiiiiis! Tracking weapons and supercombines and neeeeeEEEEDLES!
