It’s in the game, people have used it before in Firefight, so why hasn’t it been released as a REQ?
The reasons I see are:
- They might still be developing it. - Might just have been a one-offBut it’s not really a weapon I care about so meh.

The plasma caster took its its place there very similar
Is it a spider?
Probably considered too OP by 343…

Not really, they aren’t all that similar
I’m sure it’s just not done yet. Considering that it didn’t have first person animations, sounds or anything, I wasn’t expecting it to be in right away. My guess is that it’ll be in the next update.

As much as I want the plasma launcher I have to agree they’re pretty similar. But, they also have their differences
Caster-Haves five grenades at a time. Can reload. Two firing modes. First is single 'nades in heavy arc that bounce and explode, second is charged which sticks, releases a cluster and has mild vehicle tracking. Hand Held. 2 grenade kill, single charge kill(not guaranteed).
Launcher-Battery based, limited to 12 bolts. Can’t reload. Single firing type (charge) but can fire 4 bolts at once. All bolts stick. Tracks anything. Excellent tracking but slow-ish bolts. Light arc when not locked. Shoulder mounted. Single bolt kill
Lets not forget the concussion rifle which is what the caster actually replaced.
Concussion-6 rounds per mag. Re-loadable. Single Firing mode (instant). Bolts explode on impact. Dealt heavy knockback in Reach not as much in 4. mild arc. Hand Held. 3 shot kill.
Then there’s the Bruteshot which the concussion replaced.
Bruteshot-4 rounds(H2), 6 rounds(H3). Single Firing mode (instant). Bounce then explode(H2) explode on impact(H3). Mild knockback(H2) good knockback(H3). Mild arc(H2) No arc(H3). Held Under arm. 2 Shot kill(H2) 4 shot kill(H3). Increased melee.

I don’t know
I’m putting my money on it releasing with all of those Reach helmets.

To be fair, the Caster still has a light lock on air vehicles as far as I can tell. Otherwise I agree that you’re right on target about everything else.
Edit: I see you already said that, sorry man.
Most likely will be released soon.
How do I acquire it?

You can’t. It was in a single map on Warzone Firefight, in a single and very specific round, and only for a limited time. You can’t get it any more, nor could you acquire it permanently. The way it was half-implemented, made it seem like the launcher being there was an accident and not intentional.
