the needles?

Ok. Im sure Im not the only one wondering where the needles in needlers and needle rifles come from.
So in this next game it would be nice to wonder into a explosive cavern of pink death. Using it to are advantage to thwart are aggressors. Or maybe we go into it and cortana makes us some sorta gun that shoots them that works like a needle rifle but it has a human twist. WITH FIRE!

I dont know but I think their has to be something that references one of the fans favorite weapons The needler and needle rifle (While the needle rifle isn’t every ones favorite I and many others think its far better then the carbine and I 100% bet if it was in any other halo besides reach it would of been loved).

so what yall think
needle cavern of death any one?

Needle Rifle, Don’t make me laugh.

I don’t get that gun, It’s awfully inconsistent. I can’t stand it.

Yeah, Where do the needles come from?

A pink porcupine most likely.

I’d like to go to a needle growing or mining place. Maybe not make -Yoink- with it but trying to avoid the stuff or shoot when enemies are near it would be fun. Since were not going to Covenant worlds maybe the shield world will have something similar but slightly different?? Blue needle ores or plants??

Or it could turn out needles are infact a forerunner invention that the covies found and dug up?
thats one answer
see this stuff would be nice to know
343 you can do it

I love the carbine, the needle rifle wasn’t as much fun. The Essential Visual guide revealed that the raw material used in the crystalline ammunition of the Needler is mined from Suban, one of Sanghelios’ two moons. With this in mind, it is possible that you could find another such mine, but as it is only the raw material, it would not necessarily act the same as the refined, modified needle ammo. It should also be noted that the needler’s structure can not be reversed engineered or duplicated by the humans as the Needler has completely baffled UNSC scientists, having no internal moving parts in its firing mechanism, as revealed in Halsey’s journal.

I bet she would wip it up

Maybe, it’s a possibility I suppose, though she’d have to work with others to actually gain the materials and construct the device.

i dont realy like the needle weapons, i prefer the plasma based ones. plus, i might be wrong but arn’t most coivie weapons based on forerunner tech?

Sweet, now some of the most bad -Yoink- aliens ever can have their custom designed pink weaponry.

I’m so serious right now.

your right?
So its possible the needles may be used in some of it

Actually all Covinent technology is reverse engineered Forrunner tech so it would make sense that needle weapons could exist is some form in Halo 4

YAY!!!

Just a thought. how about a underground mission (in a mine possibly) with pink crystal outgrowings or deposits that when you shoot them create a pink explosion or mist that kills enemies. seems fun to me.

Sorry to burst your bubble,n(get it needle, burst?) but needles are mined from the moon of sanghelios(elite home planet)

Needles are excavated from one of the two moons revolving Sanghelios. Just so ya know.

Can’t remember the name of it. It’s the one that isn’t Suban.

Not all of it. While alot of it is “Upgraded” with Forerunner tech, there are several technologies they use that are expanded from the individual technologies of the races in question. Such as the Brute Shot or the Energy Sword, while they are both made with reverse engineered forerunner tech, they are based on Brute and Elites weapons from before the Covenant.

Needle Weapons were an Elite weapon before the Covenant was even formed, but they expanded on it’s limitations (mostly melee combat such as the Needle Dagger), using Forerunner tech to create guns that fire the needles.

very cool idea i liike it

needle rifle is fun and accurate
