Notes

  1. ^ Due to possible engine differences compared to Halo 2 it is unknown if the lower damage value is reached or how it interacts with dual wield damage, further testing required.
  2. ^ "Multiplier for projectile damage while dual firing." - H2AMPEK Foundation
  3. ^ a b "Interpolates between solo/dual values based on how recently the opposite weapon is fired." - H2AMPEK Foundation
  4. ^ Due to how tickrate is rounded down, the final rate of fire is actually ~8.6 rounds per second rather than 9.
  5. ^ Spread is scaled via a graph function. Listed values may not accurately describe in-game behavior.
