the Spartan laser seriously needs a Buff. this weapon is not balanced. ive used it quite abit today and it sucks. for a Anti Vehicle weapon this thing is embarrassingly weak.
apparently it fires a couple small lasers that need to all stay on the target inorder to kill. uhhh NO this is supposed to fire one big laser that takes out vehicles with ease. the damage on it is so inconsistent its unbelievable. heres a list of everything i hit with it today and what happened.
1 tank hit in the drivers hatch= Dead
1 tank hit in the drivers hatch= Lives
1 tank hit in the treads= Drives away Scot free
1 warthog hit directly in the front= Lives perfectly intact and was immediately blasted by the Gauss cannon.
1 banshee hit in the side= Lives only to be killed shortly after by a friendly Tank.
1 wraith hit in the front=Dead.
2 Spartans hit dead on= Walks away with just a graze of their shield’s, didn’t even pop their shield’s
1 Mongoose hit in the driver and the vehicle itself= Drives away like nothing happened.
Are you freaking kidding me? this is one of the worst Weapons in the game right now and desperately needs a buff. what happened to the weapon that everybody Vehicle player feared? people feared and scrambled to get into cover when they saw a Big red laser pointed at them. now? now they just “meh its just a red laser” “Bam, hit with the laser” " well now you die" “boom tank round to the face” Now this thing is just a big Here i am come kill me sign because the laser gives away your position. i loved this thing in its previous Iteration’s. Now i despise it in halo 5. for being the weak Piece of crap it is now.
Please 343i return the spartan laser to its former glory of being a true Vehicle Killer. not this piece of junk we have now.
The splaser firing a multitude of shots in one burst which is why tapping something with the laser doesnt kill it its like hitting 1 out of the 3 bullets out of br you aren’t going to get the same damage also have you taken into account that the vehicles they are using have an increase in armor
You just really have to keep it steady. It fires like 20 separate beams, so if your aiming is all over the place it’ll just graze whatever you’re aiming at.

which it really should not be multiple laser’s it should be just one solid one.
and it doesn’t matter about the difference in armor when a Mongoose can take a Laser blast and drive away like it was nothing but yet i hit something like a normal tank and it dies. then something is wrong with the weapon it self not the user or the Targets its hitting.
Meanwhile you are better off with a sniper rifle for anti vehicle even though it’s slightly less. Just based on consistency. Don’t even bother with the rocket launcher on a banshee.

Or do the smart thing and use a bloody Incineration Cannon! They home on you better than Hydras and pack an stronger punch than even Ad Victoriam (the only Rocket Launcher I can really use)…

Actually, you may not realize it, but the Spartan Laser has ALWAYS been several beams fired in quick succession. You can check just by going into a custom game in Halo 3 (in which the laser first appeared), and firing it while you sweep your reticule. (Fire it at a wall, into the ground, etc.) You’ll see multiple scorch marks, in a line, from where each rapid-fire beam hit.
The laser is really a piece of crap. I shot at the default version of vehicles and nothing happen. For being THE anit vehicle weapon there are many better options.

I’m searching now - I know I saw something about this from what I think was a legit source. I’m thinking it could have been something on neogaf, twitter, FB, or Halofollower.
