commando is actually pointless and useless
pulse carbine is… almost useless, wouldn’t even consider it a precision weapon
mangler isn’t a precision weapon
the sidekick… makes the commando a sad joke
BR is optimal, and the most balanced. That’s why people use it.
The sidekick has less range and accuracy than the AR lol… and has bloom…
Mangler is only used for 1 hit+ melee, like the mauler from halo 3.
Pulse carbine is good at the middle ground between close and mid range. It takes getting used to how the tracking works, if you get the swing of it… it’s actually decent.
Commando definitely needs a buff, has to much recoil even for close range engagement. Either buff it’s damage or reduce the recoil. I really like the weapon and how it was meant to be, but what we have is not cash. Definitely one of the higher skill gap weapons like the BR.
…But lets not kid ourselves here… the AR… is king… because it has good damage (and the headshot multiplier makes it even worse), and at full auto it’s ez hold down RT at mid range and can strip shields pushing further out. It needs balancing, because if anything is killing the sandbox it’s the AR.
