Erm... Why hasn't the Boltshot been nerfed yet?

[Delpen9]

Dominion is very suited to it as players can camp with it and the enemy has no choice but to come at them, where as in slayer you can often just avoid the boltshot.

 

Its amazing how often I switch to boltshot automatically these days, never before have i so instinctively used a secondary on a regular basis.

It funny because i do that with the magnum to out-shoot br users. i guess you could say that both weapons are a little over-powered though i think the boltshot is easier to use than the magnum

Well I would have been of the opinion that me and my BR/DMR will dispatch any magnum user with relative ease, but when going into a base the fact is that the BS is unstoppable, you get caught in the kill zone and bye bye.

 

The magnum is alright but it is not better than a DMR or BR so I never need it, ammo with the previous 2 makes it uneeded for me.

 

If you have managed to master the Magnum then congrats but you are one of few so its hard to say magnum is OP, its actually just right.

From Halo Bulletin 2.13.13, regarding next Title Update and Boltshot:

"• Reduced the range of the Boltshot’s damage scaling over distance. The previous effective range for 1-hit kills was 20'-25'. The range has been reduced to 15'."

I have been making a lot of DMR/BR users rage with the magnum lately. Ever since I heard it was just three shots and a melee to kill someone I was just all over it cuz I wanted an excuse to use it. Now that I have gotten better with it, it is very easy to steamroll people with primaries just as long as you have a steady hand and trigger finger.

If the boltshot user misses his shot, that would leave him vulnerable. Also, because it doesn't have as good of a range as say a magnum or any of the primary weapons, it easily gets outclassed at mid-long ranges.

It got nerfed, thank ******* god.

There is a God! THE BOLTSHOT WILL BE NERFED!!!!!!!

[Itz JoshE]

It is appauling how people are sticking up for it. It is a one hit kill weapon and it is a secondary weapon......Secondary for god sake and by the video i have seen its range is better then that of an ordanance shotgun. I can't believe 343 hasn't gotten rid of it yet.
