Fiesta has turned into people just running around with the Energy sword and gravity Hammer. The game really has no good counter for these.

Have you tried using the skewer, rockets, or any other weapon that shoots? If you have a needler it’s pretty easy to strafe and kill them.

I agree. The sword and hammer are so common in Fiesta and even shotguns don’t stop them. If you shoot someone with a sword their sword animation takes priority and your shotgun shots don’t count 99% of the time.

And how are these weapons less counterable than in any other mode? Fiesta dishes out power weapons like candy, you’ve got a far wider array of weapons to deal with swords and hammers.
The sword and hammer are problems in other modes too. They are just not as annoying because there aren’t as many swords or hammers in quick play or ranked. In Fiesta there are at least 4 people with swords or gravity hammers on the map at once. Part of the problem too is that there are just not a lot of weapons in halo infinite. If there were more weapons there would be more variety and not everyone would spawn with a sword almost every life.
The needler is my favorite counter to the sword or hammer. There is something super satisfying when someone charging with the sword/hammer explodes from the pink fury.

I disagree. Do not approve. You must construct additional pylons.

If you have a repulsor you can easily counter them. If you have a hook you can out maneuver them if you time things right.

Repulsor will give you plenty of time to kill them with almost anything.
The thing is you don’t have the repulser all the time. Plus the cool down for the repulser takes too long.
I think a simple fix to nerf the Energy Sword is just reduce the lunge distance.

It’s not so much those weapons that are the problem, but the mobility the game offers that makes them OP. The Majority of the equipment gives you so much velocity and map movement hacks that the sword is insane. And the Hammer blast radius is pretty bonkers so any extra help means it dominates on smaller maps.
One of the only real counters is the repulser
Nah, then it wouldn’t be Fiesta.
Just buff some of the other weapons.
Although all things considered this is fiesta. There is no need to remove any weapons out. It’s all a luck of the draw.
The odd thing is it cant decide if its a close range weapon or not. Mid to long people can out run at times, up close they travel so slow that even when the guns almost empty someone can kill you and theres that chance the needles disappear before contact
The hammer has a bigger impact radius than the rocket launcher does.
How about instead of removing 2 key weapons from Fiesta, you ask that they add the classic Halo shotgun? Problem more easily solved.

Yeah, if everyone had a repulser all the time then the sword and hammer would be worthless.

I have a counter for melee weapons. It’s called staying out of melee range.
Hammer and sword belong to Fiesta like every other weapon.
Both weapon are fine. No need to nerf them.
Dont forget, its social Fiesta not ranked, it gives you random weapons and thats it.
Its not a competitive gamemode!
