Top 10 Best Halo: Reach Weapons

The Top Ten
1 Sniper Rifle (System 99D-S2 Anti-Materiel)

This is an awesome weapon of choice, but the main problem is that the clip size is only four rounds. Therefore, you can only save your rifle for lightly armored vehicles like the Warthog, Ghost, Banshee, and Revenant.

In reality, the rifle it's based on (Barrett M82) has the same ammunition capacity and can hold 10 .50 caliber bullets. Thankfully, Spartan Assault addresses this, and now it can take down heavily armored vehicles such as the Scorpion, Wraith, and Grizzly.

I use this sniper because it is unique. Its scope is first class, its power as a sniper is unbeatable, it looks boss, and its accuracy is AMAZING!

2 Energy Sword

The Energy Sword is good for assassinations and heavily armored infantry, but snipers can easily take you down. There is an easy solution: get your own sniper rifle or any medium- or long-range weapon (UNSC and Covenant versions of the rocket launcher, Spartan laser, focus rifle, needle rifle, DMR, or UNSC versions of the grenade launcher).

Pick off the snipers in an epic sniper battle, then pull out your sword and start your assassination attempts.

The Energy Sword is a lot stronger than the shotgun because it's instantly a one-hit kill. Also, it has more range since you can strike from a distance (like Commando in Modern Warfare 2). However, it does wear out faster than the shotgun.

3 M90 CAWS Shotgun

While I don't think it is the best, it is the most fun. Nothing is greater than blasting away your buddies with one shot. Add the Energy Sword and zombies, and the weapon becomes an outright classic.

I know I can rely on my shotgun. It can do the job. When rushing my opponents, I shoot first once my shotgun is in range and finish them off with a melee.

This gun is great because you can run up to someone and, without even trying, one-shot them.

4 Gravity Hammer
5 M41 Rocket Launcher

I love this weapon! If I could give myself unlimited ammo in campaign mode, invincibility, and choose my weapons, I would pick this and the shotgun.

BEAST MODE!

I love this weapon as well. I hope it replaces the RPG-7. They should call it the double-barrel bazooka.

6 M392 Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)

The DMR was the scapegoat of all Halo weapons. Many people criticized the weapon for replacing the Battle Rifle and SMG. Nevertheless, the DMR became a personal favorite weapon for many players, and it is one of mine.

Efficient and gets the job done. Always aim at the head.

The versatility of this gun is amazing. It can quickly take out enemies at long range, and at short range, it can do serious damage. It has lots of ammo storage, and for the damage it does, I think it is a great weapon.

The DMR is a beast of a weapon! Just a few shots to the head, and you're dead. This gun is my absolute favorite weapon. I use it whenever, against whatever. Nothing can stop this gun!

7 Grenade Launcher
8 Fuel Rod Cannon
9 Needler

I destroy enemies with this baby. It's marvelous. Just a couple of rounds to a grunt and BOOM.

Have fun going to the doctor. I heard they use this as an alternative.

10 Focus Rifle

Very fun weapon, which ironically is better at close range than long range.

Really fun to use, and it's hilarious when you actually get a kill.

The Contenders
11 MA37 ICWS Assault Rifle

Where's the love for this one? It's quite versatile at close range as well as far range with short bursts.

Personally, this is the gun I will always choose over anything else.

Sure, you can just chuck this away when you find another weapon, because, let's be honest, who is going to fight someone with this? Not really anyone.

Which is why you should use it. People don't expect it to be used to actually kill people. I practiced with the thing and can kill people with under a clip.

The DMR is good for me at close range as well as long range.

12 Needle Rifle

This is a really good weapon and should be in the top 10. Although it's tough to aim after a couple of shots, it's really strong and also has a super combine explosion like the Needler.

If you thought a Needler was overpowered, try one with a 2x scope.

It's like a sniper/DMR/Needler hybrid. You can use it at long range or close range.

13 Spartan Laser

Anything one-shot? Yes. Not a good ammunition store, but I mean, come on.

14 Type-25 Carbine
15 Target Locator

This should be 3rd or 4th. I mean, it blows things up, it has more ammo than a rocket launcher or grenade launcher, and it makes a much bigger explosion with much more damage!

Fun, right?

16 Plasma Launcher
17 Plasma Pistol
18 Mark 2488 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (Onager)

I wish there were a portable assault rifle version with unlimited ammo. You could bring it through the whole game. On the first level, you would get it and carry it as a third weapon. One shot kill, and you could get on the Savannah and just pow - Jorge lives, you don't die, and you're OP.

And don't hate me for this comment.

It destroys that cruiser just by hitting it in the gun. It's like a smaller version of a MAC, and it's the closest you get to a MAC.

Oh yeah, and just one memorable quote comes from it: I need a weapon.

19 Concussion Rifle
20 Plasma Turret

Dude, I am sure this should be number 1 because I used it to kill two people at once.

21 Plasma Rifle

Try it, it can shred a solo target. Don't try it on a group, though - leave that to the grenades.

22 Machine Gun Turret

Because destroying people beats sniping every day.

23 M247 Heavy Machine Gun

How did this not make the list?!? This beast has infinite ammo on turret mode ( tripod) and has c4 ammo which can shred people if automatic

If the enemies are not in tanks they will be swiss cheese.

24 M6G PDWS Magnum

This marvel of a weapon NEEDS to get higher on the list. She hauls ass and can KO opponents when your primary is empty. She's usable in all three spectrums of range, though far long is her weakest area.
And in Anniversary Slayer, it's a 3HKO on everyone. It's death in a gun. It's:
The Halo 1 Pistol!
*shudders*

25 Plasma Repeater

This gun is Mah Waifu. She absolutely shreds opponents at close range, and can be heated to improve accuracy if need be. Truly an underrated rifle, give her a shot!
