Halo Infinite Heavy Assault Rifle

The best Halo Infinite weapons

Halo Infinite might feature one of the nearly counterbalanced arsenals of any Halo to appointment, with all but a few weapons feeling perfectly viable in the right hands. For the showtime fourth dimension since its introduction in Halo 2, the Battle Rifle isn't the be-all and end-all of the competitive Halo meta, and every bit groundbreaking is that 343 finally delivered an Assault Rifle that isn't straight-up garbage (opens in new tab).

That said, balance has come at the expense of excitement, with an arsenal that feels a fiddling flatter than before. Many guns with the potential for 1-striking-kills (such every bit the Sniper, the Skewer, and melee weapons) have been made clumsier to use, while others (like the archetype Halo shotgun) have been straight-up replaced. Even the likes of the Ravager and Hydra feel a footling weaker than they should, lending to a sense that 343 has compressed almost all weapons into the same 1-2 second time-to-kill window.

Notwithstanding, some weapons will always shine above the rest, and knowing when to trade up for a new pickup can be the divergence betwixt victory and defeat in Infinite's fast-paced arenas. Many guns likewise come up with the added utility of alt-fire modes that y'all'll need to be aware of before picking them upwards.
