Sentinel beam got ninja buffed?

Before it killed in 1.3 seconds, it feels somewhat faster which is good cause it needed it. Does anyone else feel its been improved damage wise?

But there hasn’t been an update to the game.

There has been the changes to BTB, that’s a small update, but still an update.

Yes, but that’s a playlist, they don’t need scheduled updates to do them. With the sentinal beam however that is an asset, it’s code within the game files need to change, which I’m sure cannot be done without a user update.

I kinda doubt it. It seems to have stayed the same to me. I never really thought it was all that bad to be honest.

Actually if its anything like Halo Reach post-update and Halo 4, they can update weapon data tables via gametype scripting, meaning its on a per-gametype basis that they can manually tune weapon settings.

It’s made me wonder too at times. One match and a weapon works as expected, next match and the target will NOT fall despite exhausting the magazine it its face.

You’re losing it op. Surely they would have announced any changes done to any of the weapons

I am starting to think they might have done something to the Sentinel Beam too. If you ever pick it up on Ancestor in Big Team Battle, it does so much Damage on the Vehicles, I would rather pick that up over the Spartan Laser, I can even use it for Spartans on foot if they challenge me. It also does work in doubles, melts the OV in Empire and getting shot by it can throw off your aim. I’ve used it in Warzone before and for some reason, I just haven’t noticed how effective it is like I did in Arena Gametypes. Then again, there are so many options at Req level three that you don’t really consider a sentinel beam to be as effective then what you’re already used to calling in and doing.

I used one yesterday on one of the new btb maps and it was still terrible, so if it was buffed it was done today

But will it blend?

Hence why I said ninja buff. I don’t have any hard evidence but its time to kill feels shorter than the 1.3 seconds it had on release. Its not the first time, Phaeton Helios got properly buffed to have 25% more armour when before it was the same armour as a Phaeton and this wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes.

Was there evidence of the phateon Helios armour buff?

Phaeton vs Phaeton HeliosGo in forge and spawn a Phaeton and Phaeto Helios and you will notice they have different armour stats with the Helios having 25% more. Ninja buff or ninja fix to a bug.

Can we just ninja buff it to fire rockets? Barvo plz

Negative soldier.

I am about 90% sure that it has not been changed since its release. It’s anti-vehicle capabilities have at least been unchanged, because I remember melting a Ghost to bits in seconds with one of the -Yoink-ers.

I feel like it could be placed in Team Arena, because it is basically an automatic precision weapon.

MoR patch notes

> However, while it boasts increased armor…

What i think happened was that they forgot to boost the armour when the phateon Helios first came out so in whatever the next patch was they fixed it and didn’t say anything about it because… reasons.

In a sense, you were right. They fixed the Helios discreetly. But it did probably require an update to do so.

These sort of changes come in the community updates, you know when they update playlists. Doesn’t have to wait for content patches.
