Should the Railgun's Bullet Magnetism Be Reduced?

I’m talking specifically at long ranges. Ever been sniped by a railgun?

I think it’s fun to do, but when I witness incidents such as this it does seem unfair to the player on the receiving end. In the gif you can clearly see the projectile going over his shoulder yet still killing him somehow. And no, this was not recorded in theater mode.

We shouldn’t reward players with a kill for being almost on target, but that’s just my opinion. What do you guys think?

I still can’t hit anything with it.

That was Whiplash not the regular Railgun. The bullet magnetism is suppose to be ridiculous on it. It even says in the description.

I do it all of the time. It’s my go to anti-sniper weapon. That and the incineration cannon. I like to imagine the look on their faces as orange death charges at them.

No, it’s barely useful as it is right now

The standard version is about the same as Halo 4’s (post-nerf) so no.
It’s effective enough as it is without being too OP.

Does it really? Never knew that. I’ve had this happen with normal railguns plenty of times. I’ll record it the next time it happens.

All guns need it really

I still agree that some guns need a nerf in bullet magnetism (especially the sniper rifles) im just saying the special railgun whiplash in your clip is suppose to be op like alot of the special weapons. Theres a big difference when switching back to the regular railgun after using that imo.

whiplash has airburst effect so even if the shot goes near the spartan at close/mid ranges it will kill them

I hate that every time I try and time a thrust and dodge an incoming Railgun shot it still kills me, seemingly every time!

Same with the Sniper too… although it doesn’t happen as much.

It has airburst proximity fuses. Near enemy shots will explode and outright kill a vast majority of time.

Arclight is fun. Charge and shoot into a room, you’ll get at least 1 lucky kill.

THIS, plus, it has aerial proxy detonation explosive rounds. You only need be close.
