Has it been revealed what level req the wasp is going to be?
I’m hoping the same level as the banshee.
Probably same level as Phaeton
Part of me thinks it could be a level 5 req. look at it like this banshees start at 6 I believe and phaetons start at 7. Since the wasp is light armor makes me think it would fit as a 5. So that way you have air vehicles st 5 6 and 7.
I’m guessing a level 6. It’s just as potent as a Banshee is, but it ain’t quite as tanky from what little we’ve seen.
But the guy above me is right. 5, 6, and 7 would be really nice. The Banshee IS faster by boost and aerial tricks. Thus it is harder to hit, and harder for a skilled pilot to lose. I think Req 5 would be really nice, especially considering the Wasp is only a rare, so we’d actually be seeing a WHOLE lot more air traffic on our beloved Warzone maps.
Honestly, to me?
That can only be a good thing. Verticality is a very nice thing to have in almost any shooter.

I wanted to add to what Captain Lackwit and I said earlier…
Req levels 5, 6, and 7 is a good fit for air vehicles and C.L. Made a good point, banshees are like the jack of all trades for the air and fit really good in the middle. They can attack low and high if need to. Phaetons on the other hand IMO are good high air vehicles they can attack good from far away and dodge in high air if need to. The wasp is a CAS (Close Air Support) and this is really going to fit good with low air attacks. So wasp (low air / starting req 5), banshee (mid air / starting req 6) and phaeton (high air / starting req 7). At least I hope thats the logic of 343i.

Yeah, that. I think there are clear, defined roles. Though I must say it’s rather interesting that the Wasp may have the highest base speed of the all…!
I think it would a level 6 req
It’s level 3 ! My god it’s cheated!
Yeah, Rakeara is right guys. In the livestream it was in Req level 3. Which watching the gameplay it was fast, weak, but great at hit and run tactics. So it can’t take much punishment.

So is it like an air warthog?
Why are so many threads being bumped

An air warthog that only has the driver . . . who is also the gunner . . . and passenger.

A better comparison would be a flying Ghost, I think.
It looked more like an air gungoose with a LMG to me

No transporting ability, pathetic health, okay weaponry (looks like it could counter things like banshees quite well but that machine gun didnt look too effective on infantry), imo i think it suits req level 3, you can’t take on armies with it but it may be helpful to escape farming, spawning in the air and with it’s great speed it might be able to just slip the net and get away, meaning some players have to leave the core to stop farming and chase it, and it’s low level and being a rare means players who are newer to the game should be able to get it relatively early. I reckon it’s a great addition
Can’t wait to get home and play against full team swarms of wasps tho
Rare
Req lvl 3
Light shields
Weak armor
goes down easily through small arms fire.

Yeah the idea only just came to me! But I imagine, depending on what they’re farming with… 2-3 of you spawn wasps and make a run for it some of you are bound to get away

if they’re farming they probably have acces to rockets. and rockets make VERY quic work of a wasp
