I like the shock weapons and how they add more options to EMP vehicles but the Shock Rifle is basically an EMP sniper that can take down an air vehicle from across the map with 2-3 shots if your aim is good enough and a single Dynamo Grenade can EMP multiple vehicles by simply being near them, The EMP duration also feels a little long to Me.
Now for the Plasma Pistol the iconic EMP weapon of Halo and to be fair it didn’t have the EMP ability until Halo 3 but it was one that took skill to take down an air vehicle unlike the Shock Rifle which can zap a Wasp out the air with minor effort, But honestly I’m not sure how I feel about the Plasma Pistol not having an EMP ability but it is more satisfying to Me to EMP a vehicle with a Plasma Pistol than a hitscan EMP beam,
That being said I really like the Shock Rifle and Dynamo Grenade as weapons and I’m excited to see how they feel when the full game releases with the full sandbox and maybe my thoughts on them will change.
