The Heatwave, Bulldog, Ravager, Hydra & Energy Sword can all 1-tap opponents. In ranked, which is the SKILL variant of Halo Infinite the Battle Rifle can 2-tap opponents despite being a long-range weapon. The melee nerf makes the Assault Rifle less effective for casuals now, not to mention nearly every weapon in the game. The pro catering in Infinite is overblown, and doesn’t satisfy anyone, because now the Mangler is still an effective weapon, but FAR less effective against Sword grappling.
Did I forget to mention that the Heatwave, Bulldog, Hydra & Energy Sword are all 1 tap melee kills? Also if you throw a grenade after a melee attack with the Mangler it functions the SAME as the 1-tap combo did, effectively making this nerf…COMPLETLEY POINTLESS. 343i, please buff the Mangler back to its original status and increase melee damage by 10%. Leaving the BR as a 2-tap in ranked, but keeping it 3-tap in social modes was the right call…THE ONLY RIGHT CALL.
The Mangler simply needs to be buffed back to its original status and placed on a power weapon spawn red rack. Have it spawn less, while being the same weapon it was in season 1, and make melee effective again. Incentivize people to want to avoid others closing the gap, increase casuals investment in Halo Infinites sandbox!
Again, the global Mangler nerf and melee nerf IS A FAILURE. Grenade after Mangler shot and melee does the same thing, AND The Heatwave, Bulldog, Ravager, Hydra & Energy Sword can all 1-tap opponents!
Please LEAVE THE RAVAGER ALONE, its awesome now.
