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.
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.
Am I the only one that thinks the Whiplash and Arclight should swap places tier wise? I just feel like the Whiplash is superior in many aspects. Anyway, great video as always!
+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).
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.
The Archlight is so satisfying ^^ I knew it has a bigger aoe, but I didn't expect it to be so huge! I mean, you can corner-kill entrenched enemies with that f*ng godsend monster xD
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.
As advanced as plasma technology may be, I'm still a true blue ballistics technology, kinetic energy kind of guy 💪 ultimate in technology the limit of human technology is capable of!
Considering the Arclight can shoot through a ton of Gungooses (essentially distance, and repeated layers of penetration) and not suffer any damage drop-off, I don't think there is any.
I find it funny that rail guns are projectile weapons and regular guns are hit scan um rail guns have leagues better muzzle velocity than standard guns.
Normally I hate Halo 5's sound design, but hoo BOY they hit the fuckin bullseye with that railgun. I feel like it'd be really easy to accidentally get your finger caught in the rails tho
nooo don’t give away my Arclight strat! (For those who don’t know the arclight strat is to wait for people to bring wasps out and then kill the drivers, thus obtaining a free wasp)
If you slow the video down you can see that the last gungoose actually got destroyed. However, it looks like it didn't because sometimes explosions in close proximity go off at slightly different times in Forge because of explosion overload. I hope that clarifies :)

Aozolai YAAAAAAH i love your videos and always play halo 5!!!!!! On my friends Xbox one because I'm to poor to get one :(
Aozolai good analysis! I was curious if the Arclight did more damage to vehicles as well as pass through them.
Aozolai Omg I didn't know arclight can pierce through vehicles
Aozolai the railgun and its variants are my favourite weapons
Aozolai Nice job showing off the blast radius damage. Keep up the good work!
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...

Holy crap, I never realized the Arclight was such a monster. Thank you!
just 2 hours ago my favorite weapon was the Whiplash, but now, holy shit, im in love with the ArcLight
Construct Master once I kill 3 Spartans with a single arclight shot without hitting any of them
4:02 I regret selling my 50 Arclights...
damn...
I hoped you uninstalled halo
Bummer...
Wtf why what was the point lmao
I can't feel empathy for you
I wasn’t too sure on what railguns do. Thanks for this 👍
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 just started halo 5 and thses vids are amazing
Murad Anvar me too what's ur gamer tag
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?
That was great, this is my favourite analysis video. I did not know the railguns were such beasts in multiplayer.
Beautiful , I didn't know the Arc is this strong . Thanks Aozolai ! Keep up the good work . Best Halo U tuber
i knew that the railgun was powerfull... but this shit is OP as fuck... i didn´t know it was so savage...
You should include maximum charge time for Railgun and Whiplash before they automatically fire.
Damn, you weren't lying with the soon! Awesome video! I should probably use the Arclight more
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.

Thanks dude!
Rocket Launchers Analysis next?
Ivan Rodrigues so many rocket launchers 😂
yes destroy the High 5 most useless rocket launcher
Alfredo Ortiz high five is anti vehicle, try it on banshees and Phaetons
thank you! the kill radius explains alot of my deaths now
I'm learning a lot about the game in your videos :)
That arclight mongoose shot was epic
Thanks for compiling all this information for us :D
No problem man!
so lore wise, railgun is a smaller version of MAG cannon?
Well MAC comes from magnetic acceleration, which is exactly what a railgun does.
MAC Cannons are literally just oversized railguns.
this changed my perspective of Railguns of all tiers
Holy fucking shit! I had no idea the Archlight was so powerful. It literally blasted through a row of vehicles.
Am I the only one that thinks the Whiplash and Arclight should swap places tier wise? I just feel like the Whiplash is superior in many aspects. Anyway, great video as always!
Jack Elphinstone I totally agree, same with blaze of glory and oathsworn
i think the logic is that the arclight is a much better vehicle killer
+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).
Jack Elphinstone yes if splash damage remained greater for the highest tier
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.
Imagine if the Whiplash had the same amount of power as the Archlight.
The Archlight is so satisfying ^^ I knew it has a bigger aoe, but I didn't expect it to be so huge! I mean, you can corner-kill entrenched enemies with that f*ng godsend monster xD
Can you compare the Halo 2 battle rifle to the halo 5 battle rifle?
¡Good video mate!
Your videos are really helpful, Thanks :)
I guess these were made by reverse enginering forerunner tech with the help of the shanghelis?
When I saw the arclight pierce all those gooses I was like HOLY FRICKEN CRAP!
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.
so could you kill a scorpion driver in one shot with the arclight if just shoot where the drivers seat is?
Do you get any credit from 343i for your analysis'? It would be shame if the answer is no because these are very helpful.
Hello could you do an analysis of all the weapons and vehicles of the prometheans
As advanced as plasma technology may be, I'm still a true blue ballistics technology, kinetic energy kind of guy 💪 ultimate in technology the limit of human technology is capable of!
How long can you hold the charge of the Railgun and Whiplash before it automatically fires?
I love the arclight even before this video I recked everyone with it in super fiesta my main pvp mode.
what about distance? does the distance alter the TTK in any way? Like if you were to shoot really far with the railgun, would you still kill the guy?
Considering the Arclight can shoot through a ton of Gungooses (essentially distance, and repeated layers of penetration) and not suffer any damage drop-off, I don't think there is any.
Can you do an analysis on Promethean's lower to mid tier weapons? like boltshot and suppressors.
I have a question. What's the firing speed of the whiplash?
Damn! I'm gonna stop selling those.
Thanks for the information! :D
Does the Arclight kill Hannibal Wasp Pilots when the Wasp has full shields? This way I can steal them >:)
Pilots in fully shielded ONI and Hannibal Wasps will be killed by an Arclight
Since they changed the vanilla railgun’s charge time, I always get confused when switching between the different rail gun variants.
Arclight's blast radius is insane
Can you do a pro-pipe mixed with a Sentinel beam as your next analysis?
please let either Splazers, SPNKrs, Grenade Launchers, or Rocket Launchers be next
did you manage to get a comparison with the new sniper aim assist and the old one?
before I was untouchable in halo 4 with a rail gun but now look like it will be impossible for me to die once I get an arclight
That music at the beginning sounds like something from vanquish if anyone knows what I'm talking about
pre-nerf Whiplash was the best weapon in the game. it's still a beast now though.
Am i the only one who prefers to use railguns to snipe over beam rifles . binary etc?
The whiplash can go through spartens ! I use it before and i got double kill
Does archlight one shot all vehicles?
Um, you do know that the Whiplash is a level 4 weapon right?
Thanks for catching the error, I'll correct it when I get the chance
dude, i miss halo 5. it wasnt as bad as i fought back then.
genial!!
what about air burst?
Something extra: An arclight projectile shot at the back of a wraight (in the weak point) will destroy and kill the Spartan inside.
Would be great if charge times included max charge time for both rail and whip
At 3:55 I was like "oo! Lots of fireworks!"
The saws and the rail guns are the best weapons in my opinion
I always choke with Whiplash because it charges too fast for me to place my shots and I never expect it lmao, but yeah Arclight's my baby
Arclight is a stronger nornfang with less range/ ammo capacity and alot more damage
Basically
Where is serge when you need him to explain railguns
Glock Crusader Well, he's incinerated, so you won't be getting much out of him anytime soon.
Snipers next ??
I did not know the arc light had a big splash radius.
That thing one shots a warthog?
4;16 the unsc won't cover that
I find it funny that rail guns are projectile weapons and regular guns are hit scan um rail guns have leagues better muzzle velocity than standard guns.
Arclight fucking destroys everything!!!
I popped a pimple and it won't stop bleeding :(
Trigger FTW ok
MrOrlando10110 that was what my account name was
oh
Haterade
*_S A L T T H E W O U N D !_*
The Arclight seems like a better Spartan Laser
i'm tied between whiplash and arclight
Nothing like shooting hyper magnetically exelerated chunks of metal so fast they desintigrate mid-air making them explode on impact
Normally I hate Halo 5's sound design, but hoo BOY they hit the fuckin bullseye with that railgun. I feel like it'd be really easy to accidentally get your finger caught in the rails tho
nooo don’t give away my Arclight strat!
(For those who don’t know the arclight strat is to wait for people to bring wasps out and then kill the drivers, thus obtaining a free wasp)
arclight
The last mongoose survived but it got knocked off so... Rip
If you slow the video down you can see that the last gungoose actually got destroyed. However, it looks like it didn't because sometimes explosions in close proximity go off at slightly different times in Forge because of explosion overload. I hope that clarifies :)
don't worry I saw when I had to back track a little
hey dude, thanks for those Videos, you discover quite some shit!
Arclight = best railgun :3 I mean, just look at the damage...that's a lotta damage lol
Imagine if the UNSC had this shit in the War...
1:46
Japan just testied one.
How are you bro?
Y Squaretigerz I'm fine, thanks
Lol best power we Pons ever
Do a rocket launcher analysis
I've read the Railguns as Religiousguns wtf.
lol Halo 4: ODST at the end
HALO 4 OST NOT ODST dump :p
2024
So wimpy sounding compared to the Halo 4 Railgun
Lol that’s not how APHE works
I'm gay
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
