Anyone else think the Gunfighter Magnum will replace the starting loadout and make the regular magnum a map weapon? No smart link, iron sight… Quick draw with faster reload magazine. Idk about the damage output either but I bet it’s range won’t reach as far as the current magnum. And also, it reminds me of the M6C, it being so naked.
I like it, and it’ll be one of the few things to get me back on Halo 5. I think this new varient looks amazing, and I can’t wait to get it and try it out.
I think it will be different and will serve a different purpose. Every weapon in the H5 sandbox has a purpose. I reckon it might have a slightly increased RoF and actually function as a side arm. The current magnum is a utility weapon. If you have a BR that runs dry but your enemy is on one shot pulling out that gunfighter and capping him will be super satisfying. I think running extended mags magnum/gunfighter magnum will be the best set up for level 2 reqs, as it gives you a good variation of range and efficiency.

I think its also possible that your radar will stay up if you use the iron sight since smart link turns off the radar.

That’s something I hadn’t considered, i’m just really keen to get quick draws using it.
we will have to wait and see
A bit of a lore bungle with stating there isn’t smart link module. My GENII firmware takes advantage of, but is not required to use a smart link module. Due to the “competition” nature of the new magnum, the firmware disables extended range assists and easy to view ammo counter. Fixed it for you, my brother! 
What that means from what is stated:
There is no zooming to extend red reticle range.
Swapping to the Gunfighter is the quickest of all weapons.
Reloading the Gunfighter is even quicker than now (which the M6 is already the quickest reloader). 30% speed boost on this thing will be insane.

It would be nice 
I’m… Iffy on this addition. It adds a layer to the Warzone sandbox for pointmen like myself but it’s a bit of a redundancy for non-Warzone and non-Infection games (Replacing the M6 with the Gunfighter in Infection seems like a nuance that would work).
It says it’s iron sites only so prepare for all the “COD” comments.

You are going to be too busy capping fools to even look at the radar.

So is it also possible that we are going to see the return of the “binoculars”? Like in previous halo games when weapons didn’t have a zoom on it, it gave us extended range of vision instead. I’m really curious on how it will turn out. Would it be ADS iron sight of the pistol or the extended vision.
And I definitely think it would be a good addition to warzone and mostly wz assault. If the gunfighter does allow radar to be raised when using iron sight, it could be a good and vital option to use. Having both an extended mag magnum for a bit farther targets and gunfighter for close quarters.

Iron sight only means there is no increase in zoom or red reticle range. The Gunfighter will probqbly be suited to close-quarters due to the weights on the end of the barrel that reduce recoil being removed. Along with it’s incredible draw and reload speed it will most likely be an “Oh crap - bang bang!” type of gun.
Hopefully it’s like a Halo 4 Magnum. It was easy to use imo
I really hope they do not replace the current starting magnums with this.
Where do you hear about this new weapon becoming available?
