Is the River of Light ever viable?

Seriously though i don’t think in all my nearly 130 levels of halo 5 have i ever gotten more than one kill with that weapon. If you have any tips on how to use it, please let me know!

Zoom in on people, that seems to give it a tiny bit of seeking properties. Other than that just don’t use it at long ranges because it will be super avoidable.

Its just as viable as the normal incineration cannon at least, isn’t it? At least it is for me every time I used it.

Comparing its overcharge ability to the tier one there is no argument the tier two is just weaker. Easily avoidable less AoE it shouldn’t be a tier 2.

I’ve picked one up and gotten one or two kills with it. It seems more like a spray and pray down a hallway type of gun. It may be more useful when used against a tank.

Ah, I see. So the only advantage is the high number of shots in a sequence, right?

Correct! If they left the overcharge ability the same as the tier one, it would improve the weapons 10 fold.

Yes it would. The overcharge on the River is good to unload in say an enemy armory I guess. But yea, I like the tier one overcharge way more, I love taking out hogs with that thing

On snowbound if i can get a successful boss rush and grab the cannon i can easily get to rank 4 or 5 due to the initial clusters of enemy Spartans. If he had the river of light i would rarely if ever get more than 3 kills.

I need to try that. I’ve never been able to get to Commander Luchadora in time to even put more than a few hits on him.

Promethean grenade with a bolt shot is an incredibly easy kill! Especially if you can get the open hand before you rush.

Suppressors work as well, just not as much damage.

Use it more as a defensive weapon when guarding a base, then you can shoot people when they come in before they see you. If they know you have it, they can avoid it clearly
