The heatwave… This gun is fantastic! This gun is a shotgun but not a shotgun. I was worried about how it would be from the trailer but this machine is amazing. It’s not really over powered at all. The balance of this gun is good. Where it lacks range and how you have to lead your shots. It makes that up for how fun this gun is. I found it really quick to learn and I expect a lot of other people to learn it easily. Its more “inviting” to pick up on the battlefield it’s not one of those guns where you look at it and think to yourself “should I pick it up? Do I need it?” and I love it’s dual shooting system. I love how you can easily swap from a fast shooting wide spread crowd control shot to a more single person slow shooting shot with all the shots clustered together. I’m assuming this is a forerunner weapon and I hope the rest of the forerunner weapons are like this gun. I always had an issue with the Promethean weapons in 4 and 5 of how bland and how they felt with a few exceptions which is the Halo 4 binary rifle and Halo 4 incinerator cannon and Halo 5 scattershot. This gun feels unique it’s a great addition to Halo. This gun seriously blew me away of how unique and fun it is and I hope we get more guns like this in the future.
It’s a tad weak and needs buffing. Also they need to scrap whatever sound effects they used for it and start fresh. It looks like a crazy good weapon but it plays and sounds like a pea shooter.
