In my opinion, yes. The Covenant have more plasma powered weapons than other sourced weaponry. The Spiker Rifle would be equivalent to a UNSC SMG or Assault Rifle, either one works. I do suggest it because 343 brought back the Gravity Hammer & now the “Brute” Plasma Rifle. It would only be fitting to bring back another “Brute” weapon. And honestly we don’t need more shotguns or close quarters weapons. (Hence don’t bring back the Mauler) That’s my opinion/suggest.
But anyways, what do you guys think? Should they bring back the Spiker Rifle? Why or why not?
I don’t know. I never liked the spiker but I like how 343 is bringing back classic weapons. I want them to keep up the good work.
I wonder what their take on it would be. What would it do special? Knock back? How would it function hm.
Wow when you said “spiker rifle” an image flashed in my head of a new brute weapon that’s pretty much like how the storm rifle is to the plasma rifle. Like a much bigger spiker.

Maybe because of the superheated spikes it does health damage and shield damage?

Storm rifle and assault rifle and SMG already do good health and shield. So maybe high health low shield? With knock back?

Also extra melee damage. Probably equivalent to the bayonet so anyone with upgraded melee can 1 hit kill. I’d prefer the brute shot though as I feel it feels th most different from other weapons in the game of all the brute weapons. Closest is maybe the Plasma Caster
I think if they removed the “spike drop” it had and made it equal or similar to the smg, as you said, then yes. Bring it back. But not as it was in H3.

I meant like health and shield damage at the same time, terrible idea thinking back on it though. Knockback probably makes sense seeing as the spikes are hefty shards of metal being thrown at you.
You only need upgraded melee and a bayonet to kill someone with the upgraded shields( which, for some reason everyone seems to use). Extra melee damage would be good, what with the hugeass blade on the front, but maybe not a one hit kill.
While they’re at it, they should just bring brutes into warzone.
Make it a Spike Rifle like you called it (its technically a carbine) and you have a deal.
Shooting giant flaming spikes at the enemy? YES PLEASE
