Do you guys think there will be any variants for the sentinel beam? And if so, what variants do you guys think there will be? What would be good variants?
Tier 2? Tier 3?
I don’t think there will be variants straight away but if there are then i’ll be happy
They shouldeuse the golden Sentinel Beam (Major variant) from Halo 2 that shoots a blue beam as the Tier 2 variant. After all, Tier 2 weapons typically have a small boost like higher damage anyway, so it fits.
And I could see a Tier 3 variant having some sort of special ability, like shooting a beam with explosive damage or homing capabilities. Or maybe something even more wild in the vein of a chain reaction?
The Golden Sentinel Beam from Halo 2 would be awesome

What if the. Tier 3 variants beam is a emp and emps everything.
While considering I love the new BeRi’s and like the Focus Rifle-like Kirth’s Left Hand, and I don’t think we’ll get variants out of the gate (as there are a couple planned updates), I do think two more can exist.
Tier 2: Tributary of Deviance
Enhanced battery and discharge (more shots, better damage over time).
Quicker to overheat than standard.
Smart-Link creates “tracer-lock” similar to a Hydra’s which allows the user to be very sloppy in their aim… The beam “bends” to the target within a moderate cone.
Tier 3: Glowering Loadstar
Enhanced battery.
Slightly enhanced damage over time from standard.
Slower to overheat than standard.
Smart-Link activates the EM-pulse, beam can now disable vehicles and drains shields MUCH quicker, but regular damage is cut in half and there’s a slight charging delay.
The Beam Sauce.
Constant explosive damage.
Huge clip.
Looks awesome.
Has a dadadadadabizzzz sound.
T2 could have a better overheat rate, and a “deals more damage the longer you hold it down” modifier.
T3 could have increased battery life, and have a Pool of Radiance-esque effect, so you could effectively draw “walls” on the ground that damage enemies as they cross them.

That will do donkey, that’ll do.
Wasn’t the sentinel beam really underpowered in the previous games? I remember it was fun… But wasn’t it weak?
Not saying that I wouldn’t like it… I would.
Two variants would be the red and blue ones. Maybe one could do more damage (like Elite/Brute Plasma rifles).
Speaking of those… Elite Plasma Rifles PLZ! They would be nice!

What is this that you speak of?

The sentinel beam was underpowered in previous games just like all automatics were.
The golden sentinel beam with the blue beam was in campaign. If I recall it did more damage but overheated faster. I think it was only in one level on golden sentinels.

I remember a weird glitch I caused with a sentinel beam. I pushed a flood corpse with its beam, and it just kept sliding along the ground and didn’t stop. Weird…
Water’s Edge | Rare
After several years of failed attempts, the Huragok finally crafted an upgraded version of the Forerunner weapon. Advanced Sentinel Beam with increased damage and reduced heat generation.
(Appearance: Gray body, glowing blue details, and glowing blue energy beam.)
Spark’s Vengeance | [Mythic] Legendary
Protocol dictates action! Mythic Sentinel Beam with increased damage, range, and additional battery capacity. War Games balancing increases heat generation.
(Appearance: Gray body, glowing red details, and glowing red energy beam.)
Yeah, I forgot. Right the golden sentinel beam would be a good weapon variant to have!
Although, in halo 4, sentinel beam is purple.
Ok, I just came out from under my rock. Where’s the news about the sentinel beam coming back?
I think there will be other variants of the beam. Just not right away.
U can find out about the sentinel beam in the update trailer. Just go on YouTube
