10 Awesome Video Game Weapons You Forgot You Loved
8. Needle Rifle - Halo: Reach
The Needle Rifle (or T-31 R for you lore nutters) was damn good, I believe it's design could be a little better, but it was a damn fine shooter and damn well satisfying to score a super-combine explosion on someone. A few shots to the head, shields down, BLAMMO!
Exploding in a glorious pink mist.
The Needle Rifle acted as a replacement for the Covenant Carbine, which explains why it shot the same, did the same damage, etc.
It only appeared in Reach and has never been seen of again - can we not have both?
Fortunately, in Halo 5 there is a Carbine Req: The Blood of Suban, that mimics the Needle Rifle and provides that sweet, super-combine satisfaction. So it may not have been forgotten, but it's been pushed aside, which is just as sad.
