A few notes. For the Arclight projectile, APHE means "armor-piercing high-explosive" (pierces Spartans/vehicles). As always, all of the summarized Railgun data and anything I missed, or needed to correct, is in the video description box. Until next time Spartans!

and people say the arclight is shit...well I don't think so. I know it makes more sense to use the Whiplash one most occasions because of it being REQ Level 4 but I think Arclight is worth bringing out! Mad amount of power in that one shot... Also, I had no idea about the blast radius being that strong for these three weapons?!

You didn't do a damage quantity assessment for these - I'm really curious to know the relative damage output of the 3 tiers of railguns vs. vehicles. Like, how many whiplash shots to take down the various tiers of banshees, and how that differs from the arclight and base railgun. I usually REQ the arclight if i want to deal max damage, but not sure how MUCH more damage I'm dealing. Overall though, love your vids. Thanks for taking the time to investigate and share info. P.S. Matched against you the other day in WZ. gg.

@romand271 7 жыл бұрын

for me, the arclight is better than whiplash due to its "infinite hold down trigger" feature, which makes it a low-scope nornfang but easier to use

I knew Arclight was good, but I didn't realize just how big its kill radius was or how you could kill pilots of certain vehicles without totally destroying said vehicles. This is why I watch these videos. Even after so much time playing Halo I learn something new that helps me improve my gameplay. Keep up the good work!

Question about the Arclight - does it create a blast radius when the projectile hits anything, even if it goes through? Or does it only create it when it hits something it doesn't pass through?

Whoaly shit man. I swear some of the things I'm not even aware of such as the higher explosive dmg from the Whiplash + the APHE capability of the Arc blew my mind lol - I wasn't even aware of how much penetration the Arc has. These types of things are what makes the difference on the battlefield. Keep it up homie.

@Aozolai 7 жыл бұрын

+Jack Elphinstone I actually prefer the Whiplash over the Arclight. However, keep in mind that the Arclight's stats such as projectile damage/efficiency, kill radius, and blast radius are much better than the Whiplash (except charge time of course).

@FinnJohnson 7 жыл бұрын

Jack Elphinstone yes if splash damage remained greater for the highest tier

@TheMainMayn 7 жыл бұрын

Hmm.. Fair point. But then again - the Arc has a greater explosive dmg area + penetrates through Spartan/Vehicle. So on the battlefield you literally could fire through someone and it'll travel across the map and spike anything in it's path lol which I think is awesome. The Whip is def awesome too though with it's dual round capacity.

Equivalents of Magnetic acceleration weapons: 1. Normal Railgun = Normal MAC gun 2. Whiplash Railgun = Modified MAC gun of UNSC Pillar of Autumn that cam fires several slugs per charge then once per charge. 3. Arclight Railgun = Super MAC variant, that shoots a slugs with more speed, giving to the projectile more penetration capability.
