I’ll be honest I love the way the brute plasma rifle is implemented in halo 5. (To bad it’s not the normal one… I have no idea why I love it so much even though I know it’s trash in anything but CE) it’s really powerful and I love getting kills with it. But it would be the perfect weapon if it had only one slight change, 2 more shots before it overheats. That’s it just 2 shots is all it needs to be one of the most perfect weapons in halo 5. It’s already amazing, and I get that it’s basically a straight port. But I feel if it had those 2 more shots it would be perfect.
I have to agree. It destroys at close range, but always feels like it comes up short if you miss even one of your shots. Fastest overheating covenant weapon on H5 IMO.

Countless times I find myself needing just 1 more shot and I would get the kill. It’s already an awesome weapon, but giving it those 2 shots would make it perfect.
2 shots is a very small change so it’s doable, although likely to never happen unfortunately. I just carry a magnum to finish the job or hope for the best.

That’s why you get up close and personal. Bash 'em in the face!
The overheat rate is already forgiving enough given how you can just tap fire to reduce the heating rate. This change isn’t necessary for anyone but those who don’t know how to handle plasma weapons.

This also proves very effective. Since your in cqc you won’t miss as much but if you overheat just bash away!
You realize you can just burst fire it to prevent it from overheating, right?

Smash 'em into bits! Don’t stop till it’s raining blood!

Yes I realize that but I’m talking about with a constant burst not a burst fire.
Fun fact about it, it’s actually based on the first halo plasma rifle, not halo 2’s. It has the single fire mechanism, we’re as halo 2’s had a double Fire ( Unless you have a really careful trigger finger)
It’s pretty good, I love it in Halo 5 as it a good shields out melee weapon.
It’s a weapon that you want to treat like the automatics from the older Halo games. You shoot it, it overheats, you end it with a melee. At least that’s how I use it. I say it’s fine how it is though.

It is really good already but those 2 shots would make it perfect.
its ok
TBH i would like to see more Brute weapons in Halo.
I think they wanted it that way. Keeps you wanting more!

This sums it up. The overheat on both the BPR and SR are a non-issue if you manage each weapon correctly. TBH I think the BPR could use a nerf if anything.
