Hello, have you ever thought about what a power weapon actually is in the context of Halo? Logic tells us that things like rockets, lasers, and snipers should all be considered power weapons due to their immense gameplay Strength and importance in competitive games. But what about the Shotgun? The Brute Shot? The Needler? Does the SAW count?
The answer might surprise you.

I set out to study what the games themselves consider a power weapon, and cross reference it with what the community considers a power weapon. I hope I did the subject justice.

Interesting topic. I always considered the shotgun and scattershot to be power weapons, with the Brute Shot, Mauler, Needler, and Sentinel Beam to be “mini” power weapons if that makes any sense.
I based my idea of what a main power weapon is from Halo 4 and 5’s waypoint and notification system of incoming power weapons.

Yeah I always considered them circumstantial power weapons. The Brute Shot has a good handful of tactical uses that make it better than many weapons, but isn’t as strong as something like rockets or snipers, etc
I always thought the halo shotgun was a power weapon specially depending on the map a sniper can only be so good if you can hit your shots obviously.

My friends and I always considered power weapons anything that can kill in one shot. That’s more or less true but evidently not the only factor that makes a weapon a power weapon.
