does anyone actually use these guns, and use them effectively Lol
btw, do they take down shields faster than AR? Im sure the storm rifle does, but not sure how forerunner weapons work. (usually covie weapons take shields down faster, unsc weapons take down health faster)
No clue, nobody uses them.
Im trying to use the surpressor but it just pales in comparrison to the AR.
I think the traditional structure is still in place. I used the storm rifle/magnum early on and got a lot of kills draining shields then switching to the mag. I don’t care for the supresser though. I hear it’s good at really close range, but I’ve never managed a kill with one and I’m not sure I’ve ever been killed by one. I use it to deal with watchers sometimes in campaign. thats about it.
I havent used the storm rifle but the suppressor is a beast up close… I consiter it a little better than the AR bcuz of how quickly it strips shield AND health

I use the Suppressor every game when I play IS. Great weapon to kill a sword/shotgun/hammer guy with when they run at you. It slows them down dramatically. The Suppressor does great damage to both shielded and un-shielded enemies. Gets beat by the AR only when you’re really up close. Great magazine size and starting ammo too. I find the “plasma rifle” to be a worthless weapon IMO. It overheats after one kill and has horrible accuracy compared with AR and Suppressor.
ill try storm rifle + magnum with dexterity, maybe itll work out better
I run with a BR/Storm rifle class quite regulary. With Dexterity and firepower.
The Storm Rifle can kill in one clip/heat really efectively at close range. However if your caught at mid range where it wont kill, itll quickly pop their shield which is where the fast swap to BR comes in for the kill.
And then i can run the BR for long rang encounters. IT works extremely well and only brought the Storm rifle as i had too many unspent SP but its really good!
Need to try the supressor still
The problem with these guns is that the Boltshot exists. Why use a primary that has such limited range when you have a 1-hit kill weapon available as your secondary?
The boltshot is just so OP it removed the relevancy of these other CQC weapons. Hell, I get so many sword/shotty kills with the boltshot. I have no idea how they figured this was a balanced weapon.
I use the storm rifle on close quarters maps. It destroys imo.
i use BR/storm and Carb/suppressor setup. i think there fine
Huh. I hadn’t thought about the suppressor slowing down charging sword/shotguns. Now the name makes a little more sense. Is it better at that then say the AR?
I absolutely LOVE the suppressor. It seems to have a higher DPS than the AR (but the bloom is worse). I use the suppressor as a secondary with the firepower ability, and it works wonders.

yeah i like firepower, but ive been running BR/AR 95% of the time.
It feelsl ike storm rifle is less accurate, needs to be fired in burst so its more accurate and avoid overheating, but that sorta takes away from its strength of being a high ROF close range weapon
Suppressor is deadly at a closer range. I have been finding myself killed by it more frequently, which is always surprising and most of the time, I find myself clueless as to what to do in these situations as they are encountered rarely in War Games.
CONCLUSION:
Use it more often, people dont really fight it that often so they dont really have a plan as to deal with it at that range.
Use it side by side with a Boltshot and you are a force to be reckoned with!

Yes but timing the darn thing is what gets many people killed. If your aim is off a slight bit, or you arent point blank than its going to get the user killed.
The using of half a clip is actually more damaging than it would be with a whole clip. When it uses half, and you slightly miss, than the rest of the clip isnt strong enough to finish someone off by itself. You need to reload and by then you are dead. IF it used a whole clip you would immediately reload and have another full clip to pull off the headshot.
HOWEVER, it only uses the half clip, making the timing and accuracy of the charged shot all the more important. And that is where most people fail with it.
IMO, it is balanced. An automatic weapons user could easily deal with a Boltshot wielder if they keep a quick step.
Give them some time, I am more of a DMR/Carbine guy myself, but I have picked up a suppressor when I got low on ammo a few times and picked up some kills with it.
Its more of an issue of not running head-first into someones bullets while spraying them down.

I usually use DMR/Suppressor with ordanance
Do pretty damn good for myself too

It seems that its better at slowing down oponents than the AR. I think it’s because it has a high RoF. Doesn’t matter how weak each bullet is it’ll still slow them down the same.
