I watch Nak3d Halo’s channel a lot, so when he played regicide and couldn’t hit someone with the Boltshot I was disappointed. It seems inaccurate and awkward to use, I have yet to see a kill from it. Does anyone even know how many uncharged shots it takes to kill? In my mind this is the worst weapon in Halo 4.
To me the Boltshot is like the Plasma Pistol.
It’s probably pretty difficult to use because it’s essentially a mini shotgun.
One of the bulletins explained that it had a learning curve and you had to get use too
BRB boltshot sucks
BRB never even played the game
I still don’t know if it’s a six shot kill or whatever when fired rapidly. But it seems like double melee is better at close range than the Boltshot.
From my experience, most weapons don’t work if you don’t hit anything with it.
I will only use it for it’s “mauler mode”.

Be that as it may, he won the FFA with the DMR. The DMR takes confidence and accuracy, so he can aim a gun. The gameplay just shows it’s hard to use the Boltshot.
ive got a feeling most players will never get the hang of using the bolt shot, but those who do will have a serious advantage in close quarters maps since they will basically be able to start with a mini shotgun. this being said, it will probably be impossible to find ammo for it as most player will start with mag or PP. I believe a charged shot uses 1 mag and u start with 3 mags. So the shotgun mode wont be to over powered.
The Halo 4 magnum is the worst weapon. It fires slower than the ODST one, It is weaker than the Halo 3 one, and it cannot be dual weilded. The Reach one was better as it did more damage.
All Promethean weapons are going to be awkward, since they’re a whole new twist on the UNSC guns.
Kinda like the intermediary between UNSC and Covie guns in that they have increased versatility (a la CE plasma pistol, plasma rifle, and needler, which all had unique capabilities, such as plasma pistol overcharge pwning Grunts when you were being swarmed, plasma rifle slowing down enemies, and the needler causing multiple supercombines, detonating dropped grenades, and blowing up dead bodies).
I used it at NYCC and it was pretty bad.

The Automag basically served as the human precision weapon in ODST, so comparing it to that is pointless. The Magnum is a sidearm, sidearms are suited for personal defense when all other means are exhausted, (i.e. your primary) it isn’t supposed to be useable as a primary weapon. It can be used to mop up kills if you’re out of ammo or if you run out of ammo mid-firefight and reloading would get you killed.

As far as I know , the Halo 4 Magnum is a better version of the Reach Magnum :
Both have High Rate of Fire
Both can Zoom (Zome X2)
Same Magazine size (8 bullets)
Reach Magnum is 7SK if I remember
Halo 4 Magnum is 6SK

Reach Magnum is 5SK if you land everything properly.

All you did was state their similarities. This is why the Halo 4 pistol can be regarded as better:
-faster Bloom cooldown time
-faster animations
Trust me… It does not suck.
My favourite new weapon by far.
If it’s as good as the Plasma Pistol in Reach it’ll be great, but I think it packs a bigger punch than that. It has faster bullet traveltime, it has mauler mode AND you can headshot with it. I think it’ll be the go to sidearm since it’s very versatile, obviously the best sidearm in close quarters and deadly in short range too.
The DMR sucks even though i haven’t played the game. Therefore, my opinion should be just as valid as the OPs. From what i saw, it has bloom and it’s in game model looks different from Reach. I saw a player use it and miss every shot, which means the gun totally sucks.
