Not sure how much of a hot take this in the community, but the warthog turret shreds shields and health way too quickly, not sure if it’s a side effect of being Australian and constantly playing on high ping servers but this really must be addressed

Well I guess for some people I could see that being a problem. But idrk if its worth fixing at least right now due to more important things needing to be fixed. But Im not playing in high ping so It could sadly be that
If they need to be nerfed, then it should be a small one tops. The Warthogs feel fine to me though.

Agreed. It seems fairly balanced to me.
It doesn’t feel as accurate as the 5 chaingun, I wouldn’t mind either a lower ROF with that accuracy back, or an even higher, less accurate Halo 1 style circle for a real bullet hose that fails at extreme ranges.
The warthog turret absolutely shreds in Infinite. What kind of nerf were you thinking it should have?
It’s the size of the reticle I think. Usually, turrets have large reticles that are inaccurate to balance out the great power that comes from them. But in Infinite, the turret is pinpoint.
The Halo Infinite warthog is the worst warthog in any Halo. It drives like a little toy and gets shredded by most of the weapons in the game.
If anything it needs a buff. But I don’t think anything will help unless 343 actually makes some decent BTB maps and they fix the vehicle physics.

Legitimately you’re not wrong, it could use like… 20% more spread. Maybe 10%. 15%? It needs spread. Because sheesh…
As easy as it is to take out vehicles in Infinite I disagree. Nerfing the warthog would only render it more useless.

I feel like the weapon that has INSTANT fast fire rate, no recoil, no overheat and practically the bullets giving a false illusion of inaccuracy when its very accurate…
I say, the past small nerf would be a charge up time before firing instantly.
Like a “pom… pom… po… po po PAAAAAAAA–” kind of thing.
I disagree with OP.
Given the fact that you are not the one in the driver’s seat, the turret needs to be able to deal meaningful damage if your driver is either performing evasive maneuvers or driving worse than Kat in Reach.
When you are going at high speeds and trying to stay on-target, every bullet counts. Even better when you are using a gatling gun chambered with 12.7×99mm M255 HVE rounds

I’m the opposite, I think it needs a buff! Not a huge one, but it does. The warthog used to be feared! Now it’s, oh whatever… To me, the warthog in Infinite is the worse one. It’s weak! Vehicles in general are too weak in this game, mainly heath wise, especially now that they have all these lightning weapons. But the standard warthog gun needs to be stronger.
Again, when was the last time you saw someone go on an epic warthog killing run?? It just doesn’t happen in infinite.
spread. but 343 made it good at long range because the warthog falls apart or you easily get shot out of warthog if you get too close to combat

The warthogs turret is worse in infinite than any other halo. So why don’t they just remove it if you want a nerf?
Once things like the overabundance of shock weaponry get addressed I’d be open to the idea of the warthog turret getting a slight nerf since it is extremely powerful, but until then I think it’s fine as is.

Vehicles do have less health than previous halo games but the ttk is extremely high and this causes a snowball effect in the game.
I would tend to disagree that the warthog needs a nerf. There is so much vehicle hate in the sandbox for this game that its hard to be a warthog driver or gunner at times. Even if the warthog was super strong, the maps do not play well to its strengths and that leads to the gunner getting taken out quickly if you have 1 other person focusing the gunner or if you have BR.
nah man, i’m only really talking about how accurate the warthog is, but it seems like my issue may be due to high ping servers, as my health and shields were being shredded after a split second of popping my head out of cover
