VinWarrior Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 With the recent release of the Master Chief action figure based off the Xbox One version, 343i could have accidentally leaked the Boltshot's return in Halo Xbox One. The Z-110 Energy Pistol, better known as the Boltshot, was an immensely popular side-arm in Halo 4, but was often criticized for it's damage ratio and how people could use the pistol. 343i might be keeping the pistol in the long run as the newest action figure for Halo Xbox One's line of toys sports the gun. Similar to how the Halo 2 figure that was relaunched could hint at Halo 2 Anniversary. Would you enjoy having the Boltshot back?

Drizzy_Dan Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Ah beautiful. Thank you Edward this is a fine piece. As for my thoughts, yes I'd love to see the Boltshot back and many more weapons. Why? Because I want there to be many weapons in the next Halo! As much as I hate the Boltshot in matchmaking, it is quite helpful in Campaign. And let's not forget about minor upgrade to weapons in between games. Maybe we'll see one with the Boltshot?

Yoshi1176 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I loved the Boltshot and I hope it comes back, people complain about it but whatever, its a gun its easy to use. Take advantage of any chance you get. I don't see this as an accidental leak though. They probably want us to start making guesses about the game. Just like the Halo 2 statue, most likely to get us pumped for the upcoming anniversary game (hopefully it will happen).

MCPO Mayh3m Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I called this just like 3 days ago on skype with Bnus, BZ1, and Zag... Nice post EK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Of Harts Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 It should be buffed, but it should be a pick-up weapon, not a loadout weapon. Because in it's current state, it's too powerful for a loadout weapon but not powerful enough to be a power weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothy Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Really op to be a secondary... I think they should change the look a bit and make it a primary weapon. I think that would make more sense Also, the robe that chiefs wearing, looks like a really poofy burlap sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimeAddict Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If they do bring it back all i know is i hope they take away that stupid shotgun blast that it started out with or at the very least reduce the damn so it will only pop your shields or something like that i mean seriously people would camp with that thing because of how powerful it is in H4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Out of all the weapons to make a come back, most useless weapon going. ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't have as much range as it did at launch but it should have more range than it does now. That's if they do keep it in the loadouts. But I still stand by my comment saying that it should be a power weapon, not a standard weapon. Edited March 16, 2014 by JXZAW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akali Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 they should replace the boltshot with the smg in halo 5 since the boltshot is rather useless and i would definitely use my secondary weapon before i replace it with anything else that is more useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Kenway Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 heh Boltshot to return= noob friendly Halo once again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 There's nothing wrong with having the weapon return in Campaign, Forge, Custom Games, Firefight, and Spartan Ops. In multiplayer.... I'd rather they wait until they can start getting feedback before they try to include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanicBagels Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Well the return of the bolt-shot is not necessarily a bad thing. Let's say that 343i decided to do some balancing work on it. Let's say that they made it so that a full charge blast directly to an opponents head (very hard in the heat of battle) would kill him, but a full blast anywhere else would completely lower his shields. In this case you have a Promethean version of the Plasma Pistol that has the ability to kill if used flawlessly, but lacks the ability to EMP vehicles or be effective at long range. Suddenly it doesn't seem so overpowered... Edited March 17, 2014 by SweatyBagels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I never really liked the boltshot, seemed like a shotgun to me.This depresses me heavily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Kenway Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I never really liked the boltshot, seemed like a shotgun to me. This depresses me heavily. at the start of H4 being around it was over used but now I rarely come across someone who uses it so I wouldn't be too worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
