It’s not the best for getting kills by itself sure, but it’s strong af in the sandbox we have. It’s Practically overpowered in ranked With how strong the noob combo with it works.
Go for headshots, or try to clean up already hurt people at range, that’s the only real way to get kills strictly with the gun
Instead of trying to make one gun to fit both roles they should have just brought the carbine and plasma rifle back. In theory the pulse carbine is cool but it just doesn’t work well. The only thing I can sort of do with it is strip shields at a distance, but that’s about all the usefulness I get out of it every aspect about it just sucks. It definitely needs a bit of an overhaul I think.
Regarding the BTB tip is for novice user’s of the Pulse Rifle. I consider myself a pro with it now after using so many times and use it in almost any situation. I always have it and always use it.
I also do not mind at all using it strictly for knocking out enemie’s shields to allow my teammates to finish them off if I see they have a BR. Some games I’ll have more assist then kills and don’t mind one bit. For me it’s all about team work and getting that win!
Absolutely. I call it the “Assist Gun” for a reason!
Yep, really one burst is enough to secure a kill for a teammate. Excellent mid-long range assist weapon. Terrible for this particular challenge, no question.
It’s easy to say user error which is what you are doing, but the proof is in the putting the gun cannot stand on its own and you have acknowledged that. It has to be paired with another gun to work which is why it is the worst gun in the game.
Pulse Carbine is just like the BR. Kills in 4 burst. The only difference is: Pukse Carbine travels slower, and Pukse Carbine is a medium range weapon. I know for a fact I got 13 kills with the weapon on a BTB game. Its just like every other weapon in the game. It will shred an enemy if you hit your shots.
I appreciate your comment but you prove my point. Every gun should be able to stand on its own. The Pulse Carbine cannot even stand on its own let alone work well in combo situations.
Most of the new weapons in this game are horrible.
I wonder how many people in this thread barely touch this weapon, let alone others, and believe that they actually know how to use them properly.
Some guns are a little niche, but so far the only gun I have difficulties securing kills with is the Ravenger. The rest of them have at least pretty solid situations where they can be very useful, most of them have a few.
No problem.
And I was never trying to disprove you. It can’t stand on its own, at least not without being in its super narrow optimal range. I was just leaving some advice.
The Ravager is a guarantee kill weapon. You are guaranteed to be killed by your opponent long before the mildly irritating gel your Ravager is squirting at him does any real damage.
This comment is spot on. The Ravager is a gun that you shoot and hope the jelly gets on the opponent, and then you have to whip out a new gun and kill it with that.
All guns should be able to stand on their own, and much like the pulse carbine the ravager does not.
Whoah Whoah hey, you leave the disruptor out of this that thing is my precious.
Did you know you can shoot the little pad your AI goes on to capture objectives and it will shock every enemy within the square? It’ll killem too.
Can also shoot junk on the ground like guns and stuff.
It also still does damage for a long time after landing 5 shots so it’s great for ducking out of losing fights or switching to BR to drop someone super fast
If two enemies run up on you it’s shots arc between both of them you can drop both their shields at once.
Leave my disruptor alone.
The problem comes from the challenge, not the weapon.
Plasma weapons do more damage to shields than health, unlike Kinetic weapons which do more damage to health than shields. You’re not supposed to kill with the Pulse Carbine, but switch to a precision weapon or a kinetic weapon once you destroyed the shields. That’s how Halo works since Halo CE.
The people who made the challenges have no idea how Halo gameplay works.
As someone who quit playing Halo Infinite because of people like you…
You’ve thrown 9 games in order to get a challenge for what reason? Why not play the game and possibly get challenges with that gun if the situation arises or better yet stop doing pointless challenges.
I appreciate your comment but I did not throw one game. I endured the torture of horrific KD to try and get kills with that pathetic awful gun…and I did everything you said in your second sentence.
I would encourage you to read my comment with intent next time so that you do not get the same response again.
Think back in halo 2 with the pistol or needler
Actually it’s 3 shots. So even better.
I did not know that about the strongholds objectives, that is genuinely useful.
I have seen the Disruptor used pretty effectively - that lingering damage cant stop people pushing. Hard to get a full kill with it in ranked though. It does seem to almost work better as ‘equipment’
