I have used all the power weapon reqs at least once and I have made my decision on what the worst one(s) is. I am excluding the base reqs and only looking at the “upgraded” versions.
The loathsome thing is one of the worst things I have ever touched in a halo game. It is in no way better then the normal scatter shot and takes an abnormal amount of shots to kill someone, it’s shooting speed does not compensate for it’s insanely low damage and I would take a smg over it any day.
The gun that ties with this is the pool of radiance. I have used this a few times and was shocked when I saw that a direct impact from this gun does not kill people like the other fuel rod variants, it revolves around dealing damage to multiple enemy’s more so then it does killing one person by them selves which is bad. When I first used this gun, I expected to cause havoc in warzone assault but ended up only getting hit marks and felt bad for who ever picked the gun up off my dead body.
Do you agree with me? I would personally never spawn these guns in again and might not even pick them up off dead body’s. There are some other weapons that I wanted to mention, but these 2 are probably the worst.
Honorable mentions: River of light, sword of the faithful, rain of oblivion, and the talon of the lost.

The lasers in this game are extremely disappointing. Wish they’d add a REQ for the H3 laser. Still my favorite gun from any halo
The Spitfire is just terrible. Why would I try to actually kill with the plasma pistol instead of emp them? You could say the commendation, but the voids tear is more effective at that.
Maybe I’m just terrible with it, but the Typhon variant of the Hydra. I have never gotten a kill with it and I’ve called in at least 10, sold all the other ones.
The Plasma caster. Hate it
I found this blaaze of glory the best
And also the Hydra. I mean seriously. Its bad.

Nah M8, a BR with less range and tracing bullets is the bomb.

It’s a 5-shot weapon with tracking rounds which costs little req energy. Very far from the worst.
All of the lasers…but especially Endgame
Talon of the Lost as well

The Hydra is a beast. 2 hit kill with locking projectiles. Just got to learn when/where to use it
oh boy I would be here all day saying which ones are the worst and why I hate them but honestly, this is the worst one:
Rocket launcher.
No I’m not kidding, you only get 4 shots, the chances of getting a double kill are slim since the majority of every map is too open to land a multikill. You could defend your spire or armory but again, you only have two shots, the reload time will kill you unless you have reflex or speed boost. The best part is that this thing is useless to scorpions and wraiths. All 4 shots will not kill the tanks. I never tried it on ghosts or mongooses or warthogs.
Some people may think otherwise but I have 30 of them sitting in my collection.
The other weapon is spartan laser where I get little to none in my packs and to top that off they kill only when they feel like it. Seriously this thing needs to be 100% hit on impact, none of this rapid dmg overtime.

Forgot about that, that thing is pure trash

There is no Plasma Pistol commendation as it is classified as a no lethal weapon.

Yeah I agree. I’d take a boltshot off the ground any day.

Yeah the spartan laser is very weird. I got one of my kills the other day when I didn’t use a laser in that game! But it showed up afterwards on my commendations… very weird indeed.
For me, there are several REQs that appear to be a waste of time. Some are way overpriced, such as the incineration cannon. Level 7, and it’s just not a great weapon. Give me a banshee ultra over that any day of the week!
The Oni Mantis has to be the most overrated vehicle in the game, as it just fires crappy bullets without the explosive rounds the Oni Warthog has! Sure, the missiles lock on, but I’d like a powerful gun too. And anyone can disable you with a plasma pistol and then jump on it and blow it up.
I only use some of the weapons to do my commendations, then probably won’t ever use them again. The lasers suck, but are useful in very limited situations, such as when you want to destroy a vehicle and can do it from near a REQ machine. That way you don’t have to run too far, and there’s less chance of being killed and someone stealing your laser.
The gauss turret sucks, I spawned one of these and spent 5 minutes slowly plodding to the spire. Before I’d fired a shot, someone sniped me. Complete waste of time. Tried it another time, thought it might be good against Warden Eternal. Lol no, I just wasted the ammo and hardly did any damage. Far better to go for a gauss warthog as it has infinite ammo and can move with speed. The turret is a complete waste of time imo, might be useful for base defence only.
