Newbie to this shyt.
Do you not have the grapplin hook as standard issue?
Why do other mufukkaz have better guns than me starting out????
I'm out here lookin like Arsenio's boy in Harlemm Nights.
It depends on the mode. The Fiesta playlist thats highlighted the past few days is purposely unbalanced n silly, you always spawn with random weapons. Its aint to be taken seriously, its just stupid, goofy fun.
in the other social modes, you always start with the Assault Rifle n Sidekick
Assault rifle is fine for mid to close range, same for the sidekick.
Halos all about facilitating map movement to avoid campers, so better weapons n the equipment are spread on the map for you to run to.
Ranked is Battle Rifle starts. The only thing that’ll outclass this bad boy is a sniper from long range or a sword, hammer, rocket launcher from closer range. The BR is viable at almost any distance. Even completely across the map on Behemoth(that sandy level that looks like The Ark from Halo 3), the BR can nab you a kill if used right.
Plasma weapons aint good for kills, but they are viable for stripping shields n then switching to something else to finish off the kill like the sidekick or AR
The Needler aint the best but can be useful for a quick kill as long as you dump an entire set of needles into the opponent. Do not use this weapon for chippin away health, its an all or nothin type of weapon.
Skewer(the bladed weapon that shoots a big spike) is a power weapon n one hit kill, but can be tricky to use. Ive found it best for takin out vehicles.
If you play campaign, dont play it how u do multiplayer. Equipment is permanent once u unlock it, n weapons that suck in multi are actually useful. For example, the Pulse Carbine aint good for more than shields in multi, yet in Infinite it ended up bein my main driver till i got the secret power weapons from takin out High Value Targets.
