Kinetic weapon variants question

Do they have any damage boost on just vehicles, or enemies as well? I feel like it’s both but I can’t prove it. I know it states it only adds vehicle knockback and damage, so just wondering if anyone has done any actual calculation to this. Thanks.

they work wonders on vehicles is my experience , no difference on players that i noticed

No change to spartan damage as far is I know. SMG with kinetic bolts wrecks bansheess and ghosts.

There’s no effect on damage to Spartans, but it has more knockback. Like if I was firing at somebody in sprint, they’ll slow down a little more. Or if they’re shooting back, their aim might be displaced a little more.

It does more dmg to vehicles. Try Kinetic SMGs or a Blaze of Glory to a vehicle, they destroy them.

Vehicles only. Still a 4 shot on spartans.

i cannot wait to get a kinetic weapon. i have a friend who has one and it does wonders on vehicles. not sure about players though.

Cool thanks guys

I have been out SMGed by a kinetic SMG. From my experience kinetic weapons deal more spartan damage.

I wish more game devs would just include something that says exactly what things do in the item descriptions. I mean like exact percentages.

Kinect weapons stagger Spartans so they become less accurate

Only extra vehicle damage.

Semi-off topic, but what the heck does laser pointer do too?

I tested on a mongoose. It took 80 rounds of SMG and 60 from a kinetic bolts SMG to blow them up.
