I really enjoyed the majority of the weapons in Halo Infinite except for the pulse carbine. After some thought, I think changing it to full auto instead of burst would make it a more viable weapon. Burst fire doesn’t match well with the tracking ability in my opinion. The needler is fun because you have to load the enemy up with a lot of shots. A long-range needler-type rifle sounds fun but that’s not what it is. It’s not satisfying like the BR either. The gun feels like it’s in a weird spot and I think the fire rate change with a small reduction in damage per shot would make it feel a lot better.
I kindly disagree and I have a list of reasons:
- The PC is already sort-of full auto, because you can just hold the trigger down and it does perfect bursts for you. - The PC has homing projectiles. I feel like it’s in a unique category and sufficiently different from the Plasma Rifle (unlike the Repeater). - Two bursts can kill, which is already a low TTK - The Plasma Rifle may still be in the full game. That does what you ask.
To be honest, I just feel like it’s a plasma tracking BR.
