*Notes* The Pro Pipe "Ricochet Diamond" is a simple profile of its ricochet dynamics just to get an idea of how they work - it's not 100% accurate, but I did my best to outline the actual profile. Remember in the Scattershots Analysis the Didact's Signet had a similar ricochet diamond. Until next time Spartans!
+Danny Kari +Pickle Rick You guys are correct, however it was basically impossible for me to calculate kill/blast radii for free launch shots to quantify the differences compared to manual explosions. I should've mentioned it in the video, my mistake.
Albert-John Freeman that’s the joke people who used it would call it the pro pipe and people who didn’t called it a noob tube it started in mw2 and the developers of halo 5 probably thought It would be funny
You forgot showing that while holding the trigger, if someone is in proximity of the grenade it will show a little skull and the number of enemies close to it. Pretty useful in hallways when you are behind cover.
6:06 36.43 m/s = 81.42 mph. A military grade grenade launcher 500 years in the future has a lower muzzle velocity than the average high school varsity baseball pitcher's fastball. (I know, it's a balancing mechanic in a game, but it's still kinda funny)
to be fair, that grenade still has to chuck an military grade explosive with EMP technology as well as a radio link to the launcher that has both a dumb fire and smart fire mechanism. It's a fair bit heavier than a baseball
I was joking about the entire premise in the first place, I've just always found the disparity between plausible sci-fi world building tech advances and stuff that makes for good in-game balance and mechanics kinda funny. Like you said, the UNSC has some amazing advanced technology... but also still use a pump-action shotgun for combat operations against 9 foot genocidal aliens with energy shields. A mag-fed full auto combat shotgun would completely break the game balance, but in-universe it's like... 600 year old tech? haha
Did you know that when you enter emp by holding down the trigger and then smart link there is a small display where you can see if the explosion will kill anyone?
Thanks for this upload. I can never truly thank you and everyone else that makes these analysis videos enough for your time and amazing skill crafting these for all of us to see. I always look forward to your uploads because they enable me to become a better player and in turn, i have more fun competing on the battlefield. I appreciate you guys.
Ah, my favorite weapon to this day, so glad you finally did these! I’m going to be entirely honest though, this isn’t going to change the way I use the grenade launcher: point blank to the torso.
HOORAY !! Aozolai is back. Still loving the intro clip, super solid. Thanks for the vid on the launchers. I've been using them lots more lately than I have in the past, mostly due to me trying to get my commendation for it. I had no idea the regular req3 launcher actually did more damage than the propipe. I've found for myself that with all the aids that the propipe is actually easier to use.
I had all the weapon commendations but then they added the Brute rifle, Grenade launcher, Gravity hammer (not sure why it wasn't a commendation earlier), and the Sentinel beam. Annoying but hey, I hardly used those reqs so hey guess I have a use for them now. Anyways, once again Aozolai you uploaded a brilliant analyze video for Halo 5 weapons. Keep them coming ^^
Not sure if it's true, but whenever I use the grenade launcher without using the emp effect I'm able to get kills a lot easier. In other words, without the emp wouldn't the grenade launcher do more damage and possibly have a bigger radius?
I do the same too, I only use EMP shot when fighting vehicles. Whenever I encounter spartans, specially in large numbers, I always shoot regular grenades. Its good to know the Pro Pipe has a Tracking function for its EMP shot tho, I didnt know that
This is kind of a weird thing to notice, but I think that Halo 5's weapon sandbox would work better if it was in an RPS game similar to Mass Effect or Bioshock. The way the different guns and vehicles are just straight upgrades from the base models never quite sat right with me, considering the series started with the whole "everyone starts the same in every match" matchmaking that was prevalent in the series into Halo Reach. It feels like one of the biggest and most drastic changes of the 343 Halos. And this is just me being picky, but damn man, a whole lot of the paint on the special weapons looks out of place, even for Halo 5. So I don't hate the guns by any means; I think they're really cool. They just seem like they're from a Halo RPG spinoff
Yeah the sandbox is quite a mess now. Even in Arena, although they at least nerfed the rifles so they aren't a flat upgrade over the pistol anymore. But all these REQ weapons that are straight upgrades don't really work well as a cohesive sandbox and the REQ energy required to get some of them is a joke of a balance mechanism. (For example why the fuck is the Whiplash a level 4 if it's literally one of the top 5 weapons in the entire game). All this shit is s quite obviously just there to sell more REQ packs.
Awesome video, but I have one nagging question. If there are two targets inside of the ricochet diamond, which one will the grenade ricochet to? Is distance from launch the key factor, or is it something else? Once again, great video🙂🙂👍👍
You forgot to analyze the different damage outputs of a emp grenade (holding trigger) and a normal grenade (firing trigger) on both launchers. From my experience I do believe that not using its emp effect allows for higher damage
I love your videos but im not telling how you should make your videos but i would like if you could make a side by side comparison to see how they are fired and please don't think im trying to tell you how to make the videos and a big thank you for helping me out on learning the weapons in halo 5
When I played Reach, and play Halo 5 forge (because screw consoles and their companies' practices), I always enjoyed the weapon. Sad that it only has 2 appearances. Would be nice if Eldewrito had it.

Aozolai u do know the launchers do more damage when u dont manually trigger it
Free fire does more damage
Aozolai
Danny Kari is right. The manual explosion does less damage.
I'll have to go back and watch the Signet video. Thanks.
+Danny Kari +Pickle Rick You guys are correct, however it was basically impossible for me to calculate kill/blast radii for free launch shots to quantify the differences compared to manual explosions. I should've mentioned it in the video, my mistake.
The reach music goes perfectly with this video
If the pro pipe has all these aim-assist features, wouldn't it technically be a noob tube?
Advanced noob tube
Albert-John Freeman that’s the joke people who used it would call it the pro pipe and people who didn’t called it a noob tube it started in mw2 and the developers of halo 5 probably thought It would be funny
You forgot showing that while holding the trigger, if someone is in proximity of the grenade it will show a little skull and the number of enemies close to it. Pretty useful in hallways when you are behind cover.
too this day im still waiting for the 3rd tier launcher
same :)
Yeah and its been well over a year since he found them and yet nothing
Yep, same thing with the phaeton, I've seen blue phaeton, but 343 doesn't want to give it up.
any links to vids of these secret files and such ?
Spartan 360 supposed to be a grenade launcher with cluster and higher damage, kind of like the Oni Gauss

Ｙｕｎｇ Ｖｕｌｐｉｘ none of the UNSC weapons make any sense. Our technology should be almost as advanced as the covenants in 500 years.
Kryvex Humanity is still nowhere near advanced as the covenant. We only even have artificial gravity cause we stole it from the covenant

Spartan time
I stopped playing Halo 5 about 9 months ago out of boredom.
Yet, I still watch everyone of your videos!
Haha, I appreciate the support man
Remember Reach
Halo Reach One of the best games ever!! 😍
I agree
Nightmare 7249 I'm with you 119℅
Hoping they bring it to mcc in summer
Best Halo

Thanks for the feedback buddy!
Always loved grounding banshees with these things in reach
Ah, my favorite weapon to this day, so glad you finally did these! I’m going to be entirely honest though, this isn’t going to change the way I use the grenade launcher: point blank to the torso.
Ender WitherX believe it or not I don’t. I only remember suiciding once or twice with it, and those were from the pro pipe proximity lol.
Ender WitherX I always wanted a break action shottie, the GL is the closest I can get, so I’ll take it lol.
Definitely the most entertaining gun to use in halo
Agreed
Wow. Dynamic ricochet explains a lot of my deaths in super Fiesta. I Didn't know it is that powerful.
#propipeforlife
Darth Vader I see you everywhere
I feel like non H5 players would think this hashtag has to do with porn somehow😂
@@noble6882 I mean shortened it says ppforlife
U should do an analysis of frag grenades to see if they have proximity detonation, or bounce towards players because it feels like they do
HOORAY !! Aozolai is back. Still loving the intro clip, super solid. Thanks for the vid on the launchers.

Another great video! We appreciate the effort you guys put in to these vids. Keep it up!
"PP kill radius" XD
Love your work man! Keep it up Nd looking forward to see more analysis and maybe some for Halo 6 in the future 🤞🏽
I still want the brute shot back in halo
The Pro Pipe.
The Noob Toob of Halo.
Is offensive that I look forward to the intro than the actual video 😂😂
I've been wait for this thanks man
Reach music for reach weapons 👍
I had all the weapon commendations but then they added the Brute rifle, Grenade launcher, Gravity hammer (not sure why it wasn't a commendation earlier), and the Sentinel beam. Annoying but hey, I hardly used those reqs so hey guess I have a use for them now.
Anyways, once again Aozolai you uploaded a brilliant analyze video for Halo 5 weapons. Keep them coming ^^
Appreciate all of your videos!!
The Grenade Launcher is my favorite overall weapon in All of the Halo’s
Very nice video man, did not know it has static ricochet. Very useful, especially when looking for damn bane
Not sure if it's true, but whenever I use the grenade launcher without using the emp effect I'm able to get kills a lot easier. In other words, without the emp wouldn't the grenade launcher do more damage and possibly have a bigger radius?
I do the same too, I only use EMP shot when fighting vehicles. Whenever I encounter spartans, specially in large numbers, I always shoot regular grenades.
Its good to know the Pro Pipe has a Tracking function for its EMP shot tho, I didnt know that
Yes, you are right however I can't accurately measure the kill/blast radii for free launch shots. I didn't want to put any false data into the video.
Aozolai Oh, ok that makes sense.
Notification squad were u at
Thank you for the in depth video
icesarru486 is probably taking notes from this...
i uploaded this months ago....
iCesarRU486 have not seen it but i imagine this one's better
I was about to poop on pro pipe since it had no real benifit until I saw that it bounces towards targets. Very cool
Keep up the great work. Love the vids
Thanks bud!
READY
LNKED
BOOM!

I just with halo 5 had offline forge.
Been playing Halo 5 for quite a long time (rank 130), only just found out you can hold trigger on grenade launchers to delay grenade lol.
pro pipe > grenade launcher
Also known as pew and POW
I know I'm late but wasn't there a 3rd grenade launcher that you could only get its skin with the weapon pad glitch or something?
There should be a multiple granade launcher similar to the mgl
Was literally using grenade launchers a bit more in warzone and wondering what the diffrences were and how there wasnt a video yet XD
These analysis videos are absolutely awesome I can tell you put in a lot of work great job! Did you come up with those diamonds yourself?
Yup, with the help of Phoenix
Another upload, Noice
I thought the normal launcher does explode on impact, just not when you hold the trigger down
Is there a damage difference between tapping the R trigger and holding it down for the manual emp blast?
Pretty sure non-emp does more damage
Great analysis and music! Just curious any chance we can get a video of your gameplay?
It would be awesome to show off some skills, but it takes a lot of time to get gameplay so probably not. Sorry dude.
0:58 nice
Awesome video, but I have one nagging question. If there are two targets inside of the ricochet diamond, which one will the grenade ricochet to? Is distance from launch the key factor, or is it something else? Once again, great video🙂🙂👍👍
yup, distance dependent
Just realized the reload animation is the same as Reach.
I ll love 4 ever Halo reach
You know what would suck? Having a prophets bane but dying because you were too close to a guy that an enemy was shooting with a pro pipe.
When you’ve been using the pro pipe wrong lol
Time to start using up my 20 reserved grenade launchers
Favorite weapon and all, but being able to home in through camo is just a bit much.
Can you make a infection video about last man or an infected sword.plz
Why didn’t you test their primary fire settings?
Pro pipe is perfect for invisible players when they take over the base or something
You forgot to analyze the different damage outputs of a emp grenade (holding trigger) and a normal grenade (firing trigger) on both launchers. From my experience I do believe that not using its emp effect allows for higher damage
N Resendez your profile pic makes it look like there's a hair on the screen
Intro makes it look like you're tripping over
Fuel Rods analysis
at 1:48 it says 'Prop Pipe'
;)
I love your videos but im not telling how you should make your videos but i would like if you could make a side by side comparison to see how they are fired and please don't think im trying to tell you how to make the videos and a big thank you for helping me out on learning the weapons in halo 5
so... they turned the pro pipe into a noob tube by calling it a pro pipe. nice one 343. nice one
When I played Reach, and play Halo 5 forge (because screw consoles and their companies' practices), I always enjoyed the weapon. Sad that it only has 2 appearances. Would be nice if Eldewrito had it.
Sounds like a peashooter gun.
The range differences tho...
Love the Reach music dude. Also tell Phoenix I said he's gay lol. -AJ
PP Blast Radius more like PP Nut Radius
Was the reach launcher needed at any point after its release?
Hey Aozolai, does the grenade launcher do more damage if detonated without the EMP or with it?
Yes, but it's basically impossible for me to get the kill radius/blast radius for free launching
+Aozolai
Alright thanks for the info.
Lately i havent been able to get a single kill with th GL
Can u fast ball with the normal one?
So.. this "pro"pipe had short range seeking.
Is it just me, or does the base grenade launcher look untextured?
Zhinto X it's just a very flat texture :)
Wat happens when you run out analysis would you just do some gameplay like other halo youtubers plz comment back would love to know ur answer
Probably minimal gameplay, I'll stick to analyzing other aspects of the game - weapon sandbox, progression system, improving Halo, etc.
Aozolai You haven’t done an analysis on the fuel rod cannons yet daddy
I kinda think the design would have looked better for a shotgun
Thump
Notification sqad
YOU'VE HEARD OF THE PRO PIPE
NOW GET READY FOR...
NOOB TUBE
Also what armor are u wearing???
Dynast Lilioc + Indomitable Helmet
Aozolai thank you!!
Notification squad!
1:49 there is no weapon in Halo 5 that is called the 'Prop pipe" but there is a weapon called the Pro Pipe.
EARLY!!! #Notificationsquad
Pharmacy is dead :
Im early, let me make a joke
343 industries.
Salsah21 lol
But all companies are nowadays, I just hope they get rid of this because if not all games soon will be a bootleg clash of clans.
Salsah21 lol good joke
Unggoy Merchant truth
Unggoy Merchant nah 343 is the bigger joke.. 343 is just recycling bungies ideas and making them worse.. they have no creativity
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
It would be cool if a large party shot these into the air and detonating it. Kinda like fireworks.... No? Oh, okay I’ll leave.
Another upload, Noice
Can you make a infection video about last man or an infected sword.plz
