Loving the beta so far. One of the things I noticed right off the bat was how long it takes to kill with it. I don’t mean for it to be Halo 1 level but it could use a buff. It currently takes 7 headshots to kill with pistol. I think lowering it to 6 would be a bit more fair, or increase the clip size to 14 to balance it out a little more. It takes 9 body shots to kill and I think lowering it to 8 would be better or again increase the clip size.

You realize even at 7 shots it has the second fastest killtime across non-power weapons in the game right?
id say the pistol is still in need of a nerf, its too versatile, reach magnum had it perfect, im getting picked off with it faster than i can br someone down at longer ranges (and tats when making my headshots with each fire)
You obviously haven’t gone against a 4 stack of PC players all running the pistol yet.
How about instead we just remove the bloom that turns it into a lottery cannon and make all bullet weapons projectile instead of hitscan

It really isn’t versatile, sometimes people just get lucky. Its the BR that needs a buff when its one of the slowest BR’s in Halo history with only the Halo 3 BR and Halo 4 BR(pre-patch) having a slower TTK.
It makes no sense for the BR to be that molasses slow while inconsistent bullet hoses are rewarded with one of the faster TTK in the series.
Imo the pistol is over performing and either needs a rof nerf or a range nerf. Kinda dumbfounding that you can be lighting up someone with a AR just for them to turn around and kill you with the pistol. Even happens with the BR too.
