As you all probably know by now, the weapon that was previously thought to be the Promethean Repeater was revealed to be the Suppressor. But, we are forgetting that the Repeater is very likely still in the game. If anyone remembers, the Repeater was first mentioned in a Bulletin, when BSangel said that it was one of the weapons in the campaign demo. The Suppressor was not in the campaign demo, many, myself included, assumed it was the Repeater due to the Spartan Ops footage.
But, we forget that the only weapon seen in the campaign demo other than the Lightrifle and Scattershot was this. I believe that this is the Repeater, and the Suppressor is the equivalent to the SAW.
no that pic doesn’t look like it at all it looks like this
and the repeater isn’t the SAW counterpart
think of it as the Plasma Repeater successor
> Suppressor=Repeater
This and that the suppressor has custom skins, meaning it must be a loadout weapon. The saw is a power weapon.
Edit: She probably meant the repeater was the Elites storm rifle. The Elite is seen holding this weapon before charging at the player with its sword. When the campaign demo was made it was un clear of it’s real name ( hence assault cabine, repeater and finally storm rifle)

I was under the assumption that it was. I mean, this isn’t the first a weapon has been re-named
Eg.: The Assaultt Carbine turned into the Storm Rifle

But you’re forgetting that the Repeater appeared in the campaign demo, the Suppressor did not.

The Suppressor was not in the demo, but the Repeater was. The only weapon in the demo that is not either the Light Rifle or Scattershot is the weapon linked to in my first post.

Then the weapon that was called the Repeater is still not this Suppressor.
Um… wasnt Repeater the covie weapon in reach? Wouldnt use that name again.
I guess we will have to wait and see…

It may have been renamed to something different since then, we’;; see when it’s officially revealed.

If the repeater was renamed to be the suppressor, then it is the suppressor. I fail to understand how you know these are two different weapons.

The Repeater was only known because BSangel said it was in the campaign demo. Everyone assumed that the Suppressor was the weapon she was referring to as it was automatic, but what we failed to realize is that the Suppressor never appeared in the campaign demo. This means that the Suppressor and the Repeater cannot be the same weapon.

Indeed. Hopefully the Promethean weapons trailer comes soon.

I strongly suspect that this is the Repeater.
Also, the Suppressor appears to be effective at rather long ranges. The Repeater is likely more similar to the AR in that it is more effective at closer ranges.
