Anybody else think there is just a lot of horrible weapons in this game? Seems like the AR is the best weapon…
Pulse carbine - terrible
Mangler - pretty much the bulldog
Disruptor - nope
Heatwave - doesn’t kill close, doesn’t kill far, whats the point
Skewer - only good against vehicles
Ravager - worthless
Hydra - used to be good
Ravager, pulse carbine, and plasma pistol are definitely bad. Commando isn’t far behind.
I like the Mangler and Skewer. I think the skewer is high skill/situational tho. You need the other weapons to offset that, and I don’t like any of the covenant ones really. They should have left the carbine in the game at least.
This is why we need some of the older weapons back
i didn’t mention the pistol because i figured everyone knew it was bad lol
Pulse Carbine: Can 3 shot at longer ranges
Mangler: Balanced CE Magnum
Ravager: better as a shield dropper/ area of denial tool
Disrupter: Damage Over Time weapon, you can land some shots and then their shield is practically useless, and wont regen for ages
Heatwave: Better in close hallways
Skewer: dude what are you talking about this thing instakills over shielded Spartans
Hydra: idk I haven’t seen it yet
The Hydra definitely sucks in Infinite lol I used to love it soo much too.
Agree on the list except the skewer, devastating weapon, have managed to get many instakills with it.
What are you talking about?
The lock on works pretty decent. Sometimes…
Hydra aint thaaat bad but H5 version is def miles better for killing spartans.
Pulse carbine - terrible Agree, just agree.
Mangler - pretty much the bulldog Not that bad, wish it was more as shotgun and less as a spike launcher
Disruptor - nope Very funny to use, but yeah, in close range is totally useless if you’re not fast enough.
Heatwave - doesn’t kill close, doesn’t kill far, whats the point two words: Croud control. You may not get kills but you can get multiple shields off for your teammates to finish the job.
Skewer - only good against vehicles I’ll be honest, i have never been able to nail a shot to a vehicle with the skewer, the projectile is too slow (and so is the reload), on the other side it’s been very effective against players in my case,
Ravager - worthless Agree, it needs more damage IMO.
Hydra - used to be good Kinda agree, need more damage too ,but it’s not that bad. One thing that i learned is to NOT use secondary fire on players, it’s better to aim manually (on close range).
And it takes 3 or 4 shots now.
It’s definitely not something I love using, but I’ve had some success. It could be better for sure tho.
I like it better than most banished weapons.
Yea look, a lot of the weapons you just listed are fine. You probably just suck with them.
But the nerfs to the ravager and the commando hit way too hard. Those 2 weapons actually borderline useless when compared to the rest of the sandbox.
Like htf are you going to claim the skewer is bad dude… Thats a YOU problem.
The Disruptor? Easy kill potential at short range and has the EMP ability. Ide rather have a disruptor over a commando or ravager ANY day.
Heatwave? 3 shot kill with vertical strikes and a 1 hit+melee kill combo. Insane at close range.
Mangler? Aim better maybe? 3-4 shot kill.
Hydra kills vehicles and spartans fast with the ability to lock on…
Pulse Carbine? Hard to get used to, but is a 2 burst kill if you hit headshots, 3 burst kill if not. Actually a good weapon within its intended use range.
The ravager and the commando are the main 2 that are severely lacking after what we played in the flights. The ravage went from being a power weapon you could fight over to a piece of garbage that players actively avoid and same with the commando. I only pick the commando up in BTB and even then it lets me down like 95% of the time.
Pulse Carbine and Ravager definitely bad. The rest seem to have their uses to me as stated by others in this thread.
Commando works well if you use it perfectly. Not a dig against you or anything, I don’t like it much either.
Yea it DOES kill someone if you hit all shots perfectly.
The problem is unless you are kind of far away they are just going to outgun you with an AR strafe before you can even get enough control of the bloom on the commando to hit the last headshot.
Its basically the highest skillcap weapon in the game right now that also happens to be the least rewarding.
I just use it to clean up/killsteal in BTB lol.
Agreed. I had to use it for a challenge and it was rough, but when my aim was true and just let loose it did the job. I had a much easier time with the BR.
Pulse carbine - Could use some tweaks to its lockon range but certainly not worthless.
Mangler - Balanced CE pistol
Disruptor - EMP’s vehicles but seems to share spawn with better anti-vehicle weapons
Heatwave - use vertical fire, i’ve gotten a tripple kill with it alone. Needs more ammo though.
Skewer - It 1-shots players, learn to aim
Ravager - Yeah I agree.
Hydra - Still is, just not in tight areas.
How is the bulldog not on this list?
