You know when you see a mythic on the floor and a common weapon over it, you always 100% want the common weapon, because why wouldn’t you. I swear this game prioritises normal weapons over mythics. Why isn’t there a system where the mythic weapon is picked up over other weapons… it makes no sense.
I’m certain there are situations when you want the weapon appropriate for the situation rather than the rarity of the weapon.
However, whenever there are multiple different weapons on the floor close to each other. There should be a system in place that allow you to easily cycle the weapons before picking them.up. Incase it’s faster than picking up and throwing away rapidly.
Does it do it with the flag too?
cause in capture the flag I some times try and put a weapon over the flag.
I’m not sorry, stacking weapons & vehicles to prevent easy pickups is a double-edged sword I do not want removed. This is a reverse/negative hit, sure, but a necessary evil.
Gotta learn how to better toss weapons so you’re not caught in a grab-loop.
Countless kills and assassinations are provided by fools trying to position themselves to pick up a needler or something.

Yep very true, I agree with this. I managed to get my Normfang back because the person who killed me kept picking up the wrong weapon.

Yeah, I hate it when there is a nornfang and i keep picking up a damn shotgun.
i just aim at the weapon i want when i’m over it and i pick it up no problem
it’s a good idea but i dont think it would be implemented, having to hit left or right on the d-pad would kind of make the game a little to much to handle and it might hurt us in the real BTB in 6 when me and my team mates park the warthog on top of the flag.
I can’t remember how Halo 5 handles it, but previous Halos use to prioritise the weapon that the cursor was over. Even then the game would still be fickle.
Maybe there should be a cycling system. So if you have 3+ weapons lying over one another the game will pick up weapon A, then weapon B, then weapon C, then back to Weapon A. New weapons are added to the bottom of the list for the dropping player, but to the top for enemy players.
This would at least prevent you picking up the same two weapon again and again, and not the weapon you want. It would prevent the game needed new button combos to complete the task. AND, it would still retain the an element of weapon stacking to prevent easy pick up.
I remember one time I went to pick up a SPNKr and picked up a Prophets’ Bane instead, I was quite shocked and manged to get 8 kills with it.

The worst thing I hate is when you kill some one with a mythic run to just to have someone else steal it from you X( sooo stupid I killed someone with a FREAKING PROPHETS BANE AND HAD IT STOLEN FROM ME!!!

Sounds like you dropped the ball on that one…when it hits the floor it’s free game

*shrug * idk
Stop randomly cycling, crouch, and aim at the weapon and only pick it up when its the one you need. Or just toss a grenade into the pile

That helps. I’ll give that a shot
the enemy are coming up the stairs, the energy sword is on the floor, I could easily pick up the energy sword and destroy them. tries to pick up energy sword but picks up the magnum next to it, runs out of time to pick up energy sword because they are up the stairs, dies.
(yes this actually happened to me.)
I think it has to do with the placement rather than the rarity preference.
I’ve…never really had this happen.
You have to juggle the weapons off so they arent stacked. If you want one weapon make sure you’re standing at the edge of em then pick one up if its not the one you wanted swap it with whatever weapon you chose to replace it with and the weapon you were holding will fly in front of you. Then pick up the weapon you want. I juggle weapons all the time, like if I have sniper and rockets, I’ll juggle whichever I wont use to my team.
