There's nothing wrong with the disruptor

Honestly this gun is under rated. I always pick it up and it shreds when used correctly.

In some situations you’ll get easy easy multis (14 second clip)

However the majority of gun fights using it will go something like this (10 second clip)

Which brings me to the point - just add two to the clip, that’s all it needs, no buffs, no nerfs, just two to the clip.

I realise it can be used as a shield remover and switch for one in the head (noob combo style, or rather, red gun) but an extra 2 makes it so much more useful as a pickup and a stand-alone in fiesta.

I find it great for opening engagements especially in team fights where it can chain back and forth. Also good for retreating enemies as it negates shield regeneration.

What Id really like to see talked about more is the ravager… I cannot for the life of me find a good way to use that weapon. Even as a zone denial tool the radius is far too small and the DoT doesn’t tick hard or long enough to be useful.

I might be crazy, but I swear they buffed the Disruptor and didn’t say anything. I’ve noticed it’s been killing me almost immediately lately.

This is a different story, I’m annoyed because I got an overkill with it and didn’t clip it and I was laughing so hard cuz it was the rare situation of everything going right with it.

It is really good being used as a multi opponent noob combo. Charging it up and firing in a group then head shotting everyone, it is really good for.

They unfortunately went overboard with several types of balancing - charge up, cool down for both charged and pulse, and pulse (lack of) damage, projectile shot speed.

its a troll weapon in Ranked, meant to be used to humiliate opponents.

In BTB its good though, because it kills vehicles.

I think more people have got the hang of it and pick it up more but it still has a bad rep.

I don’t think it’s been buffed, I remember sticking up for it in the first few weeks when it got a lot more bad feedback.

I’d say the PP is definitely the most humiliating weapon to get killed by in ranked.

I made the decision to avoid ranked until I believe anything I do represents the scoreboard (not so subtle dig at all the hit reg problems).

TBH though, I wouldn’t consider it a troll weapon, the red gun was always picked up in H5 and this has many more benefits than that did.

I think part of the hate towards it is it feels like it stole the plasma pistol’s role.

Honestly I feel like just about every underperforming weapon feels like its short on ammo.

Yeah if not combo’d definitely

I feel like that’s the case even for most of the sandbox. Like I’ve found love for the Commando again, but it takes a good 3/5 of a clip to secure a kill, and it only has 2 reloads. So I’m dropping it almost as soon as I pick it up.

Absolutely this. If I kill someone with the PP (and I’m not talking noob combo or melee, I’m talking straight green dots to the dome) I’m bagging them 100%.

If you say so. I just feel that getting electrocuted then your body sent flying away is worse but different strokes for different folks I guess.

I’ve always liked the disruptor too, but I’ve noticed my shields will start to drain after someone lands only two or three shots on me, and I swear it used to be six. Could be because desync has gotten entirely out of control though.

I have played a ton of H5 and watched it’s comp scene a decent amount all the way through the end of the Sunday eSportsArena tourneys, but I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone say red gun…? Is that some new slang for the boltshot?

No, brute plasma rifle thingy whatever it’s called :joy:.

I think Proximitty and Reclaimer always called it red gun then everyone I knew started calling it that because it was quicker to say (to the point I forgot what it was really called)

Not sure on that. I would say try it in customs but the differences between training, customs and multiplayer are not exactly trustworthy :roll_eyes:

Or just remove it from the game and give the Plasma Pistol back it’s actual job. The introduction of the Disruptor made the Plasma Pistol go from an effective side weapon to just shy of useless.

I don’t know why we can’t have both?!

There’s been other weapons that EMP in the past alongside the PP such as grenade launchers and splinter grenades, never been a problem having more.

BTB could have one or the other on a map, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Because 343 stated themselves that they don’t want multiple guns filling the same roles. That’s why we lost about 60-70% of the base weapon variants in the transition from Halo 5 to Infinite.
