Weapon ideas

there have been rumours the halo 5 updates will not be ending after June. While it’s unknown if it’s true or not, we can hope. I really hope for a weapon focused update, with some all new weapons, some returning and a few unique variants. Here are 3 ones I will be focusing on, if you have your own ideas, comment below

Energy Shot (Rare)

Covie shotgun style weapon. The weapon is a full auto shotgun (to differentiate from shotgun and scatter shot) and requires 2-3 hits to kill. Has 12 shots before having to reload.

Sgt. Johnsons Spartan Laser (Mythic Legendary)

The mythic variant to end all mythic variants, this is a level 8 reqs Spartan laser that deserves to be level 8 reqs. The weapon has a fast charge, fast cool down, powerful shots and enough charge to shoot it 12 times. It also has a slight splash damage effect. It also gives you a damage boost. The one downside to the sgt Johnson splaser is the recoil, which is higher than the average Spartan lasers recoil.

Sentinel Beam (Uncommon)

The original forerunner weapon, the sentinel beam. Not much will be changed other than its damage to make it more viable and up to par with weapons such as storm rifle assault rifle brute plasma rifle ect.

What are your ideas for weapons? I’d love to hear them!

Sgt Johnsons spartan laser… That would be cool

I would personally like to see the return of the ODST magnum M6C/SOCOM! Maybe a rare level 2 or 3, damage the same as the regular magnum or possible a 4 shot…

U know in H3 sgt Johnson had a normal spartan laser?

Maybe its one made in his honor, designed explicitly to puncture Forerunner ancilla cases.

Sgt Johnson thing seems like Selene’s Lance. I would love the sentinel beam back

you could get it with infinite ammo tho. and h3 laser is much better than h5 laser

Sentinel Beam, bring it back!

No, Selenes lance has about 8 shots, high recoil and targeting laser damage

johnsons laser has no targeting laser damage, 12 shots, damage boost, lower recoil and splash damage

1.) I like the energy shot idea.
2.) Too similar to Selene’s Lance. I get it isn’t exactly the same, but it’s too similar.
3.) Sure.

  1. Seems interesting. Would be significantly more interesting outside of war zone.
  2. Not at all interesting. Simple attributes. I suggest more complex effects to the weapon. Such as EMP effects in a cone with the laser in the middle.
  3. I don’t see why not. Keep it out of war zone and the req system and I’m good.
    No-go on all of these being req items. Where’s the arena love?

Maybe an added EMP to make sure those -Yoinks!- don’t get away on the sgt johnsons splaser

I could be wrong, but I think Selene’s Lance is a one-hit kill on anything anyway, so adding EMP wouldn’t matter. Maybe the targeting laser could freeze the target (spartan or vehicle) until the laser fires, that’d be cool. And makes a large AOE explosion at the impact points.

Yeah johnsons laser has a large aoe damage, keep in mind my original one was too op, I think the concept I shared here was kinda underpowered
