Kind sir, you are mistaken. They are blades …
Every night I go to bed “cindershot is available” …

So I have a few thought on this. There always seems to be someone with a sword, and it gets annoying real fast when you’re not getting anything to counter it. Then you have the fact that even if they die, someone on their team is likely to pick it up or get their own sword. It’s so bad I’ve seen people playing around getting a sword. The hammer is also annoying, but that isn’t as annoying as a sword.
No other weapon in Fiesta can change the momentum of a game like the sword. So I have a few suggestions. Make it so certain weapons immediately despawn when someone dies like the Hammer, Sword and S7 Sniper Rifle. These 3 weapons I think are the most annoying in Fiesta. In previous games, players would turn Fiesta into a Sniper Lobby. I would also consider reducing the ammo of the sword a little in Multiplayer because it seems to last way longer than any other game since Halo 3.

I think you guys are being giant babies to be honest. First of all saying you only ALWAYS get a certain weapon is a laughable exaggeration. It’s RNG, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Some of my most memorable fiesta moments are getting a kill with a weapon I wouldn’t normally pick up.
If you’re dying by melee weapons that consistently then you need to switch up your strategy. Don’t go running blindly face first around corners would be a good common sense starter. Obviously you want to keep your distance when you know a melee weapon is in play. The repulsor is also an amazing piece of equipment that is greatly underused. They can’t sword you if they’re being replused away and shot in the face.

You guys get sidekicks??
I would love a team melee playlist. It could have team swords, team hammers and just team melee with both.
How do you switch up your strategy when the desync is so bad when a sword user lunges at you, it’s from almost the other side of the hallway
I got the PP 4 times in one game yesterday, two of the times it was paired the SK 
Nah, it’s definitely random but swords are just a very dominant weapon in that mode. Especially if you have thrusters or grappling hook. Coupled with quite a few of the maps cater to CQC.

Yeah, it seems like sword grapple combo does really dominate the game
Exactly why I don’t do fiesta.
My usual loadouts are:
- Plasma pistol and disruptor pistol.
- Hydra and needler.
- Pistol and plasma pistol.
Last Fiesta game I played i died 8 times, 7 of which were from the hammer and 1 from rockets.
I never spawned with a hammer, sword, rocket, or sniper, but spawned with a hydra 5 times in a row.

I had one game where I got either plasma pistols or the disrupter the entire game minus one spawn where I got the shock rifle and mangler. I spawned right next to the entire enemy team though where they all had rockets and snipers so that didn’t last long though.
I only play this mode for the challenge, never for fun, it’s just awful. Sword and Hammer need to be removed as they are way to OP. Failing that everyone should get the same rotation of weapons so it’s fair.
I would gladly take the Sidekick over those weapons any day. I do NOT understand the cindershot at all, and just I’m just dog s*** with the Hammer.
Yeah man, usually the disruptor with a plasma pistol or sidekick
I see you’ve never played Fiesta before…
Maybe weapons should despawn when the player is killed. Im positive that’s why I see so many swords, hammers, etc. I die with them, and my murderer picks it up to add to their teams collection.
With that said, I don’t feel it’s too out of hand because most games I’m in are fairly close…so something is working.
It’s not supposed to be fair. It’s random. That’s what Fiesta is for.
Nah, its Cindershot: the gamemode
