The official WASP thread.
Since the update people have either loved or hated the new WASPs, so comment your thoughts here on the latest WASP update!
(Personally the WASPs is like -Yoink!- in the sky,the fire power and speed on top of the ability to pull more than one out in a match, makes this easily one of my top most favourite reqs… I get that month of mythic was a bad idea but just for WASPs would really make my day.
So thank you very much 343 for this latest update.
<3 from a fan)
While it lacks the armor even the oni wasp their still a blast to use of the two new I like the hanaible wasp makes me want more hanabile vehicles
Loving the Hannibal Wasp, and seeing the red glow from the ONI Wasp in the sky is pretty intimidating.
Played around with the ONI Wasp in Firefight and found it to be redunculous for a level 4 REQ. Cannot wait to try out the Hannibal next.
In other Wasp related news: almost got a killing frenzy in BTB with a Wasp that was almost dead from the get go (teammate must’ve bailed once it started burning like crazy). I know that 8 kills aren’t that impressive but knowing that you can barely take any damage before going down made it quite the thrill. Give me a full health Hannibal and I shall reap me some souls!

One well placed shot can still bring a Hannibal down. I saw someone call one in and then it got lasered in its weak spot and it blew up instantly. Full health, full shields, wasn’t alive for even fifteen seconds. In the right hands though, it definitely can be devastating - but the right hands can also in turn devastate it still!

Yeah the Splaser can be tricky to deal with in a Wasp since you don’t really have any evasion maneuvers other than changing altitude constantly. Still with some luck you can survive. Remember having some awesome laser dodging moments in Reach with the Falcon. Now that was a tough bird to keep in the sky (more health but a way bigger target and less agile).
Excited to try the Hannibal Wasp when I get on tomorrow. Might pull one out in Mythic Firefight to test its effectiveness.
I love the new Wasps. I just wish the Wasp had a bit more armor and/or offensive power in general (or we had a heavier UNSC VTOL vehicle.)
I hope we can still get the Urban,Woodland, etc Wasps (you can never have enough Wasps.)
played with the hanabal in FF just to test it out and it looks like something that can be used in maybe mid game warzone. I’d hesitate to bring it out past the 600 mark
not going of use these until i’ve a few in stock, and by a few i mean at least 20

Especially corp wasp to fit in the unearthed map in btb to fit the yellowish gold of the map instead of a normal unsc wasp.
Yep can’t wait to use both. They both seems like a lot of fun. I mean I’ve had some mean streaks in a normal I can’t even imagine what I could do under the right circumstances with a heavily armored one :D>
I don’t much like how their weapons function. It’s been really hard to get a kill with the machine guns on the ONI Wasp, and with the Hannibal Wasp is hard to get a kill on anything that isn’t bigger than a Scorpion tank because of that weird charge-up mechanic they added to the main guns.

Without that charge it would be broken… although it could be decreased on the charge timer. And it does require sharp eyes to operate.

The Hannibal Wasp is more akin to a light bomber than anything, though it can be used in an offensive capacity to devastating effect. The hitscan properties of the guass repeaters are going to give Banshees / Phaetons a huge headache from a distance, and the secondary weapons work wonders in strafing runs / arena denial. In my opinion, it’s probably the most powerful cost-effective REQ vehicle in the entire game.
All around good. Don’t have an issue with any of them.
I haven’t used any yet. I’m afraid that I’ll never get another one. Are Wasps still super duper rare, or was that fixed?

I gotten a Hannibal Wasp cert from my first gold pack after finishing the silvers and kept getting like a lot more wasps. I think I gotten like 3 or 2 from this update.

I checked my REQ Collection and I have 13 Wasps, 4 ONI Wasps, and 4 Hannibal Wasps. When the update came out, I only had 5 Wasps so I got lucky with those, but not so lucky with the others. Guess I’ll have to just keep on grinding for more. I used them in Forge and that red glare that the ONI Wasp gives off is fearsome.

I checked mine, 5 wasps ONI and Hannibal, and 10 regular wasps. I think I gotten 3 more of those now. I get the ONI and Hannibal being rare at least.
I got a Hannibal Wasp out of a Random Rare Vehicle in Warzone today… and I gotta say… it absolutely kicks -Yoink-. Got to an Invincible with it, then a Banshee surprised me and down it went.
