Seriously this makes no sense. A common req (Speed boost) can automatically make you a one hit weapon??! Also the spartan charge increases your range of damage so basically you’re gaining the ability of a energy bayonet at level 2 with increased range. SMH.
I’ve never had it be a one hit with speed boost unless it was to the back, but that even happens without speed boost. Idk man

Well I noticed a lot today that if I so much as stub my toe and someone noob charges around a corner than I die instantly.

Look at the last line. This came with the Ghost of Meridian Update.
Sandbox:
- Fixed a bug that caused the Spartan Laser to deal incorrect damage against shields
- Fixed a bug where damage dealt to Gungoose Cannons did not properly transfer damage to the rest of the vehicle. (The Spartan Laser is excited about this change, too)
- Mantis armor has been increased
- Reduced the explosion radius of the Whiplash
- Needler projectiles now do damage to Wraith and Scorpion weak points
- Fixed an issue where Rail Gun aiming light can be seen through geometry
- Fixed server crashes surrounding picking up powerups
- Fixed a bug that made picking up powerups impossible
- With Speed Boost activated, Spartan Charging now kills upon impact
I think that’s for custom games since you can’t even pick up powerups in Warzone. Idk for sure though.

You can equip powerups in Warzone, all of them (Speed Boost, Overshield, Damage Boost, Active Camo)
Working as intended…guess they wanted to give a little more value to speed boost…will probably see even more people double speed boosting now
At least it’s only in warzone. Let’s just hope they don’t put speedboost in any other game modes (apologies if it already is).
im not a fan of Spartan charge and don’t like to see it more powerful than it all ready is but I can see how that combo may be fun for others. I’ll personally avoid wz even more now though haha
It really gives an edge to farmers in WZ. First match i played after the update a guy charged into our armory with speed boost. We were killing the AI and one guy killed 9 people with spartan charge + speed boost. One guy in achillies armor. He surprised the -Yoink- out of us then his buddies farmed the rest of the game.
So thats why people made some one hits on me in Warzone.
Although I don’t think this should be removed, there are enough ways to counter someone.
Used it yesterday. Easy way to clear out an armory. That was the first time I have ever used the power up.
I hated spartan charge enough as it was, this is unwelcome news indeed…

Just practice harder and pray for luck no does this. I mean it’s part of the game.

3 speed boosts + spartan charge
They were probably slightly damaged prior to you charging them.
It makes sense really plus its easy enough to counter. Dodge, use splinter grenades, use shotgun, hammer,sword, Teamwork, and etc. just learn how to adapt.
I’m glad to see they’ve made the game more noob friendly.

Pick them up? You use a Req card?

One of the supposed changes to fathom is to replace camo with speedboost
