Title says it all. Having a OSK weapon in loadouts was unacceptable from the start, and even with the nerf it’s still severely affects gameplay.
(Enough 343 bashing)
So…
Make the Bolshot a power weapon.
-Place it on the map (none of that indicator and/or POD gimmick) at the start of the match.
-Extend the one-shot range to something similar to the shotgun, similar to H3’s Mauler.
-Significantly buff the single shot damage output (4-6 shot kills with a headshot)
i’d rather see it severly nerfed to where it could be a secondary or just have it removed
BUFFED BOLTSHOT + MAP PICKUP = WIN
Now don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise!
On some Halo 4 forge maps it is a map pickup and I have no problem with it like that. So I support your idea fully.
honestly I think the boltshot sucks, I never use it

Exactly. Honestly I think Halo 5 should have UNSC weapons only in loadouts.

UNSC weapons are boring, I’d rather be able to spawn with a Carbine which is currently a little bit weaker than the BR

I think the fact that you call them boring (which btw, what? the BR boring?) just exemplifies the fact that such weapons would be better off spawning as slightly more powerful counterparts to UNSC weapons (i.e. lightrifle=long-range powerhouse). Of course, I’m not saying that the carbine should become a power-weapon (just imagine the BR-user rage 
), I just think it should become the kind of threat precision rifles are to automatic weapons.
But all this hypothetical speak would be unnecessary if there were no loadouts…
I don’t want to buff it to much, as a person who plays campaign when I first get the game, these guys would be significantly more annoying.

Both 343i and Bungie have altered damage outputs of weapons between campaign and multiplayer; it wouldn’t be too hard to make it weaker in the campaign.
