I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on the Boltshot, so i made this thread to finally figure out what the community's majority thinks of the Boltshot.

In MY opinion the Boltshot is a decent weapon that can be ridiculous at time. Not warranting a massive Nerf to make it suck, but maybe a little tweaking here and there.

It's a good gun but the best rifle is the Buffalo rifle.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

It's overpowered unless i use it.

I use it to weed out the idiots on the other team, it's fine.

  • 12.22.2012 11:40 PM PDT

it's fine, never had this "problem" of people using it as a mini shotgun.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I use it religiously but understand why it is so detrimental to gameplay.

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

so even though the "overpowered" option has the most, none of them has posted as to why it's overpowered.

Because it's not. With the charge time, limited holding of that charge, glowing of the gun, and the noise of charging, it becomes pretty easy to recognize and avoid. With the 593 games I've played and the 4461 deaths I have, the Boltshot equates to less than 2% of my deaths. I'll never understand why people believe it to be overpowered.

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

I used to think it was. Then I got with the program. Stop getting close enough to the enemy wielding it and it won't become the root of your demise.

I started out hating it as it just feels a little awkward and the charging time takes more than a little bit of practice to get accustomed to, but now I like using it as a last ditch effort, just what a sidearm should be. So I think It does its job and needn't be nerfed.

It's a shotgun.

You should not spawn with a shotgun.

Alt account #4 because i can!

overpowered when used with Pro Vision. or Camo.

  • 12.23.2012 12:21 AM PDT

Spawning with a weapon that can one shot kill is stupid.

I've only had it used against me once or twice and it seemed quite powerful.

  • 12.23.2012 12:24 AM PDT

hmm

Overpowered. It's great, secondary for nearly all of my loadouts.

  • 12.23.2012 12:24 AM PDT

Its totally overpowered but I can't prove why.

  • 12.23.2012 12:24 AM PDT

The range is a bit much, but besides that its fine. People need to learn not to rush, it's annoying.

Too many times have I been playing CTF and been boltshotted by a Camo user.

It also sucks when sneaking into an enemy base trying to steal a banshee, only to be boltshotted by someone who's literally sitting there doing nothing.

You should never spawn with a OHK weapon.

Just for the record I wasn't being at all sarcastic. Also, it just wrecks in oddball.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Okay, leaning towards underpowered. The regular firing mode needs a buff, then it will be acceptable.

  • 12.23.2012 12:33 AM PDT

Two makes there more than speakers.

Reduce the range of the instant kill firing to right in their face, or just make it deplete shields (with it still requiring to be up in someones face).

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

I use it all the time, yet i rarely die from it. I usually just thruster pack away or use the hardlight shield. Works like a charm
