Weapon Drills

Games Halo Infinite

MA40 AR- needs the bullet spread turned down. Revert back to Halo 5’s spread.

Pulse Carbine- size of plasma bullets blocks target.

BR75 - bit of a slow reload.

VK78 Commando- This weapon is really fun once you figure out the recoil, but bump the clip up to 30 so we can actually use this weapon for a while.

Shock Rifle- can’t decide if I like it or not, will have to use it more.

MK50 Sidekick- Takes 17 bullets to kill a Spartan and that is with head and chest shots. The pistol use to be a nice back up, but if this doesn’t get a buff then I’ll drop it on the first weapon I see.

Plasma Pistol- Way worse than the Spartan pistol, never liked this weapon and still don’t. Doesn’t do any damage, maybe switch it up and make it a burst weapon.

CQS48 Bulldog- this killing machine is awesome, love that y’all went away from the single shell reloading.

Heatwave- could be useful around the flood or in a large group of enemies.

Needler- kind of upset we don’t get the needle rifle anymore but can we at least dual wield these? Please?!?

S7 Sniper- stable, reliable, little slow on the reload animation when you rack a round into the chamber.

Skewer- Confused on this weapon, will it one shot a hunter, can it penetrate into a second enemy if we line them up, will it do damage to vehicles?

Ravager- Could use this to clear a room, but does not handle range very well.

M41 SPNKR- love the new design just make sure to leave us players lots of ammo.

I think I agree with most of your summary.

I would add that the MK50 would be great for a single headshot kill if the Plasma Pistol had some degree of tracking for the power shot, but it doesn’t seem to have any and so shots at anything over close range are useless.

Also did you notice that the needler doesn’t seem to have any explosion unless you hit the full kill critical mass? I found in Halo’s of old, that a half needler “mag” was enough to explode and remove armor, which again in combination with a pistol headshot was a quicker kill.

And the Skewer is way to slow and confusing for anything but a campy snipe on a non-moving target or perhaps I need to learn the projectile velocity and learn to lead better.

I agree with you Duncan Knight, the pistols will be an irrelevant weapon if they are both not adjusted.

I did notice the needler did not has the pink mist explosion as the Halo’s of old, but I did get one of my highest scores with it so the accuracy and reload speed are there, it’s just not the needler that we all know and love.

Yeah I do not know what to think about the Skewer, the reload mechanic is weird and slow and I can’t see myself picking this up over the UNSC rocket launcher.

also where did the SMG and everyone’s favorite SAW go?

Really I retesting to read this as I found I disagree with most of it, but it was interesting to read an opposing opinion and try understand it.

Biggest disappointment for me is the needler. It used to be great, now it just feels weak and doesn’t have the same crystallised impact it used to.

Your comment on the pistol taking 17 shots to kill was the main one that really surprised me. I hopped into weapon drill and was able to kill all the Spartan bots at every range in 7 shots to the head (not so consistently if they are at the farthest wall). And considering you can fire those 7 shots extremely fast, I’d argue it’s OP, as a lot of people are complaining about.

Have you 3 starred all the weapon drills? I’m finding doing that a lot of fun. Maybe that’s just the completionist in me!

I have only 3 starred the needler, SPNKR, and the shotgun
