I’ve been using the rail gun a lot more than usual for me lately, and I’ve noticed that the rail gun seems to have lost it’s bullet magnetism. When a shot doesn’t hit them, but lands extremely close, it doesn’t do anything! It also doesn’t give me the kill when i hit them clean, but this is extremely rare. Maybe its just lag? maybe its a 343 screw up? What do you guys think, and does this happen to you guys too? Let me know please.
EDIT- Yes I play regular arena.
If you prefer to use the regular railgun over the whiplash then you need jesus.
Probably latency is causing them not to die when hit. Without a video hard to tell
I need a clip. It might be your connection, because the rail gun has been fine for me.
Works fine for me but i use whiplash a lot more

Whiplash is Warzone exlusive, so it wouldn’t matter if he was playing Arena (did he specifiy though?) or a custom game w/o them.
I’ve been using the Whiplash to the point they’re extremely rare for me; I’ve got over a hundred regular Railguns and Arclights, and am always starved for Whiplashes XD

I currently have 92 whiplashes but i only open silver packs
Explosives for some reason are behaving differently being able to pass through solid object that should block it

I find arclight to be far more effective.

Whiplash’s best for taking down Spartans on the field, Arclight’s best against vehicles and bosses.
The former’s saved my life a number of times when a spartan comes up from behind me and drops my shields and all it takes from me is to turn around and pull the trigger. xD
The Whiplash’s biggest strength comes from it charging quickly and having two shots per clip, and only at REQ level 4 on top of that, though admittedly sometimes that quick charge up sometimes has been a bit of a con at the same time…
The Whiplash and Arclight are both pretty good though.
my suggestion is to record your clip each time this happens and look back. Sometimes your rail actually lands further away than you might expect. Comparing with theater mode helps too. Sometimes what you see isn’t what happened. I’ve had one rail shot ever hit its mark and not kill. I had a clip, but it’s buried if still there. I’ll edit in if I find it.
This isn’t the clip I remember, I must have deleted that one. But this one is still relevant. To be clear, this clip is like 5 months old and doesn’t represent current server conditions.
I use when my teams aren’t doing well.

Or maybe he needs his grandkids? Lol
The Railgun is a hitscan weapon, though it demands proper timing and accuracy. A direct hit (no matter where it hits) will be an instant kill. In the case of the Arclight, the slug will pierce multiple targets until it hits a solid surface / obstacle.
In other words, you can get inline collateral kills with the Arclight, while maintaining enough power to heavily damage / destroy vehicles and bosses with a well-placed shot. The blast radius has received a massive buff over the normal version and the Whiplash, which is a huge help when killing someone behind cover.

Thanks for explaining!
