Halo 5's huge weapon tuning update has arrived

Today Halo 5: Guardians is getting a brand new weapon tuning update called Overtime, impacting many weapons in the sandbox, and now a new post on Halo Waypoint has provided an insight into what the update contains.

These weapons will be changed across every game mode - Arena, Campaign, and Warzone - and 14 different items are being re-tuned and tweaked. 343 Industries explains that there were two goals to this, the first being to rebalance sandbox to make it better, and the second to strengthen each weapon's unique roles.

Take for example the Assault Rifle, which has been changed in a number of ways. The rate of fire, for instance, has been increased by around 5%, while the headshot damage multiplier has been increased by a huge 200% compared to the original, with base damage per bullet being reduced by around 23%.

The full list of detailed changes is available on Halo Waypoint, but a video on the changes can be viewed here if you'd like as well.
