Ultimately, it remains to be seen exactly how well-received the weapon will be but I’d say if you’re a fan of the Halo 5 magnum, this gun should be familiar to you in a good way.Īlong with the new weapon is also our first new equipment, the Shroud Screen. It’s also easier to weave around and try to dodge shots from this gun as you’re not dealing with a three-round burst. It’s not quite as powerful as the Battle Rifle but it’s a lot easier to use than the Commando. This puts the weapon in an interesting place for the Halo Infinite sandbox. Meaning it takes four shots to the body to open an enemy to a headshot, and you’ll be able to get a melee kill after three hits. In terms of specific damage, the gun is a five-shot kill and a three-shot melee.

It has a very slight recoil, where even after I shot at the wall for a while, the bullets were only maybe an inch further up. The stellar audio here helps bring that feeling to life along with the slower rate of fire. The gun is large, and every shot has weight and impact to it. Meaning that while you can’t use it to consistently headshot enemies across the map, you also don’t need to worry about being descoped when hit. Enter the Bandit, a weapon reminiscent of the DMR but without an optical zoom. The very first thing fans will experience (other than the new loading/main menu screens) will be the new addition to the Halo Infinite weapon sandbox.
