Hello everyone. I’ve been thinking about the secondaries for loadouts. I know that Firepower allows you 2 primaries, and alot of people will be using that, but I still am interested. Are automatics (Storm Rifle, Assault Rifle, etc.) secondaries as well as Plasma Pistol and Magnum, leaving the multitude of Utility weapons (DMR, BR, Carbine, possibly Light Rifle) to be the primaries? Or so far have we only seen 2 secondary weapons, the PP and the Mag?
I’m assuming we will have revealed to us one or two more pistols, like a Forerunner sidearm or a Mauler modified to be faster and much weaker and longer range (a close-quarters SIDEARM). Are these the only options for secondary weapons in Loadouts?

I’m not. I’m almost certain there will be others but what could they be?
The Mauler might not work. It is a Jiralhanae weapon and we haven’t seen any Brutes so far, at least I haven’t. Perhaps a forerunner sidearm or more Covenant and UNSC sidearms. SMG hopefully. I was super excited to see the Carbine back and with the SMG back I would just love 343.

you would think they would bring back some of the pre-existing weapons but I honestly don’t know, the way they’re doing primaries and secondaries is really weird so maybe they’ll do something unexpected like make the mauler into a secondary weapon.
I think the shotgun(YES IT’S BEEN CONFIRMED THAT YOU CAN SPAWN WITH IT) could be secondary.Because it’s only good for close quarters and takes a while to reload.
I’m just pointing out that if the plasma pistol is a starting weapon, you can bet people will run around corners with it fully charged, fire at the first man in sight then beat them down, or switch to br (carbine) <dmr> and headshot him right off the bat.

This is a old thread dude. Plasma pistol has been confirmed as a secondary for ages now.
Current primaries: AR, Storm Rifle, BR, Carbine, DMR, Promethean “Suppressor” (apparently) and possibly Light Rifle. Shotgun was tested, but current status unknown.
Known secondaries: Magnum, Plasma Pistol, Promethean “Boltshot” (apparently).
With the Firepower armour mod, you’ll be able to spawn with two primaries.

I don’t mean to be rude, but this is one of the worst ideas I’ve seen on this forum. Do you know how many ppl would be running around with a DMR/BR and Shotty?
It should be noted that the shotgun has since been confirmed as an ordnance weapon for good reason.
Primaries: AR, BR, Storm Rifle, Carbine, Light Rifle, and Suppressor. Secondaries: Magnum, PP, and the Boltshot.
343 has also sped up animations when using secondaries. This includes things like reloading, melee, and switching weapons.

Source?
The Shotgun is ordnance. Wherever you read that, or whoever you got that from, is not telling the truth.
If it was a SECONDARY, that’d be even worse than having Armor Lock as a starting Armor Ability.

Calm down man that was from a month ago.
Anyways I could see the mauler and SMG as secondaries, but I don’t know if it will happen though brutes haven’t been seen yet and why wouldn’t they show the SMG in the weapon video?

The firepower mod allows players to use 2 primaries. As of right now there are 33 possible combinations of loadout weapons (6*3 + 6C2 = 18 + 15 = 33).
