I'm Positive the new REQs are Storm Rifle variants

Games Halo 5: Guardians

If you look at the top left of the blurred weapon silhouette on the preview image, you’ll see a small tip protruding from the REQ card.

After cutting out the regular storm rifle in photoshop and laying it over the image, its a perfect match. You can see this below:

I wonder how they will function. Hopefully the level 3 Storm Rifle variant is like the Ghost Ultra’s plasma cannon. If The Answer behaves like an ONI turret essentially, I can see it happening with the Storm Rifle

Try overlaying an AR real quick, would you?

That’d be interesting, considering that the Storm Rifle is one of the few weapons (I think the suppressor is the only other one) that only has one variation. What would a special SR do, you think? I think it’d be neat if the new SR’s plasma bolts short-circuited a players shields, making it so they need more time for them to start recharging.

I agree! the little nub sticking out of the card makes it pretty obvious.

I don’t think its an AR because they are introducing four more at the bottom of the page. Plus, all loadout REQs have the white icons on the card. Additionally, ARs do not protrude off the card’s side.

Wait, you guys didn’t already know this?

Will be sweet If its true!

Is the answer to your question really not obvious to you?

Sounds cool.

The update is called Hammerstorm. Hammer- gravity hammer and Storm- Storm rifle…

I’m not saying it’d be a loadout weapon…

I don’t think it’s an ar because they only made special variants of one use weapons. Unless you’re talking about attachments, that isn’t very likely.

Haha good point

I thought this was a known fact. They follow the same color scheme as the Carbine variants, and seeing how they look nothing like the Suppresor (the only other weapon without variants), as well as having the same profile as the Storm Rifle.

I haven’t heard anybody say anything about it and It can’t be a “fact” yet. But it probably is.

One with a faster rate of fire, harder to overheat. And another one that fires pepperoni, probably.

i think there’s a new variant of loadout weapons. I say thats an AR

There is. But they already show all the ARs at the bottom of the preview. Plus that particular REQ has no loadout variant icon on it like the others
