When is 343 going to make it so its not insanely OP? I was doing some test in forge world and it kills from the same distance as a shotgun. Why do you get to spawn with a shotgun? How is that fair?
It’s not OP. It’s a power weapon. The fallacy on 343’s part is that you shouldn’t spawn with a power weapon.
Holy crap I actually got a reply within a day… But do you know if there is any idea to decrease it’s power? Or maybe range.

Hopefully they will nerf the weapons range and power so it can’t OSK, and maybe only make it drain shields so you have to use the Primary fire to finish someone off, but they also need to buff its primary fire so it can actually kill in one clips make it even to the magnum.
Hey everyone, Im moving this to the Matchmaking forums. Starting today, the matchmaking forums will be housing discussions for Halo 4 matchmaking. This includes matters related to Sandbox balancing.
For more information why this thread is being moved there, please read this for a further explanation. https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst174757_Matchmaking--Why-was-my-thread-moved.aspx
Dude a TU is coming in mid to late January and I would imagine that they will fix the BS and DMR in that update as for now just hold on for a little bit. As a side note I think the BS is over powered but atleast I haven’t seen to many people use it, for me my main concern is Active Camo in general because it buffs dmr campers and BS users, atleast the halo community dosen’t have to deal with the Assassin’s Creed Gosh Yoink smoke bomb

If it’s a power weapon, it’s the -Yoink- one in the box.
It even pales compared to it’s supposed peers.
While people are here has anyone else noticed that the Scattershot is incredibly inconsistent? Sometimes it is a one shot kill but most of the time it takes 2-3 shots.

I have, but I’ve chalked it up to it having only a few projectiles compared to the Shotgun and being more affected back lag.
Also, it’s not hitscan.

Um, check that, it actually kills from a farther distance than the shotgun
I can’t wait til 343 lets you all use rockets, snipe, and laser in your loadouts.
While as a loadout option I agree, its forerunner tech, they were a pretty smart group of folks…

Are you actually calling the BR overpowered? A spread weapon that has recoil and less useful compared to the DMR? If you’re another SWAT complainer, go suck yourself because SWAT started with the BR since Halo 2 and its the best choice in that playlist. At least its the only place where its useful.
In what way is the BR now overpowered, especially being a 5 SK weapon with spread, you need to align all of your shots perfectly or it won’t be a 5 SK.
They need to cater to the wider community. Majority are hopelessly incompetent. Solution? Make loadouts with power weapons except make them seem as inconspicuous and underpowered as possible so the BKs think they are good. Example: Boltshot.
I guess you could say I’m a hypocrite for using them too, but why limit yourself. I am still competent with a BR and DMR, so why not give myself and added bonus that many ither players have: a pocket shotgun?
Eventually they’ll have rockets and lasers and snipers in the loadouts. When the noobs start complaining they don’t get enough playtime with those guns becuase decent players get them first and use them better.
I HATE HATE HATE it when people suggest to make to boltshot a “deshielder” and not a ohk. So basically what your suggesting is to make it into a plasma pistol copy, except the boltshot version cant impact vehicles…making the weapon completely pointless?
I think the boltshot it OP, but not as dramatically as people say. It could probably use a range reduction, but it is pretty easy to strafe when you know someones about to charge it.
Literally the only times i get kills with the BS is when im playing morons, i was in the complex building and a team just ran in one at a time… they didnt nade, they didnt come in another door and they more than likely came straight here to moan about how god like the weapon it to make themselves feel better.
The boltshot needs a tweak, it doesnt need to be made into a wasted unlock token. Make it one clip per charge? idk they will work it out based on data they collect.
This weapon is really underpowered, it needs to be one shot two kills. Please buff damage, range, and noob usage.
