In my opinion the suppressor needs a buff honestly. Just a slight one on the crosshair bloom because I have no other idea what to call it and a slight rate of fire increase ever so slight. I believe the damage needs to be increased as well but by 343i’s standards. Anybody others opinions since 343i does listen to their fans and critics.
No to the increase in fire rate, its fast as is.
No to the damage buff, it kills around a second currently.
Yes to a slight reduction in spread, its ridiculous.
The main reason why I hate the Suppressor is because it is way too inaccurate to be effective out side of melee range. At that point a bolt shot is better, or just double beat down. The AR is just so much better than the Suppressor and the Stormrifle, and both of them are not hit scan. Having to lead your shots with an insanely inaccurate weapon is not fun and insures the majority of your bullets will miss.
The biggest problem with the suppressor is its slow moving projectiles coupled with low aim assist, that’s a very bad combo let me explain why.
When you engage someone with the suppressor they are going to be jumping around flailing about, and a good portion of you suppressor fire just goes right by him, even if you are aiming well. By the time the projectile leaves the gun and reached the target, he is in a different enought spot that you miss regardless. The answer is to lead a little, but really? Thats unessisarily difficult, as the point you frequently would need to lead to would result in no red reticule at all.
The suppressor worked in the past because it had more aim assist and was way more forgiving if your aim was off a tad. It would also work if it was a hitscan. But for now, very unfortunately, there is no reason not to just be using an AR. The suppressor used to be one of my favorite guns too, there was nothing more satisfying than killing some DMR spammers with it several times a game.
These posts are the reason I have 0 kills with the suppressor. Although its pretty beast in campaign in my humble opinion.
It seems to be one of those weapons that you have to get the drop on your opponent with.
The weapons are well balanced (for the most part) in this game and they beefed up certain weapons (including the suppresser) already, so I doubt it’s happening again.
I think the suppressor is one of the most balanced weapons in the game. If anything, I think it needs a better looking reticule.
I don’t even know how many kills I have with it. 5? 10?

It probably follows the typical halo mechanic of enemies being more vulnerable to their own weapons.

I’m pretty sure your right. Now that you mention it, I cannot recall using it on any covenant soldiers. Always prometheans
Just pretend that it’s a shotgun that fires the same shell over and over again.
The Suppressor needs a significant spread decrease if it wants to compete with the other automatics.
While it’s kill-time is the second best, it’s insane spread makes it almost useless at anything closer than point-blank.
Tighten the spread

They quickened it’s kill time, at the extent of it’s accuracy. It’s like a slower shotgun now.

Now that I think about it, this would be nice, for campaign anyways. That would make it more effective against Watchers and Crawlers, along with Covenant.
If you want to kill someone with this thing you need to shove it up their nose.
Needs a serious reduction of spread.
