Halo Infiniteis slated for a Holiday 2020 release, and we are on cloud nine in light of this news. We know that it will be releasing for Xbox One and launching onXbox Series X, but it might come to PC at a later date. The series is renowned for its iconic weapons, which continue to influence first-person shooters today.

The weapons ofHalovary in appearance and effectiveness. Oddly enough, the most memorable weapons aren’t the most powerful. Unique designs and how they are used in combat make them unforgettable. 343 Industries is on the wrong track if they don’t include most of these weapons in the upcomingHalo.These are ten weapons we want to see inHalo Infinite.
10Needler
The Needler is one ofHalo’s most iconic weapons. It fires automatically without the need for charging. Upon impact, the Needer’s needles stick to its target, followed by a controlled pink explosion. It is potentially devastating in multiplayer or againstirksome Covenant like Elites and Grunts.What’s better than having a Needler? Well, try dual-wielding for a change.Halo Infiniteshould only update this weapon’s appearance.
9Sniper Rifle
The sniper rifle is a recurring weapon in theHaloseries that is designed for medium to long ranges. It works well with the magnum as a secondary weapon. Since the sniper rifle drains its target’s shield, switching to a gun like a pistol afterward works well. It has a variable scope, making it ideal for distant shots. Although verysimilar to the Beam Rifle,we love the design and performance of the sniper rifle more.
8Shotgun
The shotgun is arguably the best close-quarters weapon inHalo.Its stopping power is more than you could ask for. The shotgun is considered even better than the Energy Sword because it has the potential to be faster. While your player has to move with the Energy Sword, this weapon can defeat opponents from short distances.
We love the design of theHalo: Combat Evolvedshotgun, but also later versions like theHalo 2: Anniversaryshotgun. An infinite number of reasons suggest that the shotgun should be inHalo Infinite.
7Energy Sword
When we first encountered the Energy Sword inHalo: Combat Evolved, we became fascinated with the golden Sword Elite and the beam of energy that it wielded. It wasn’t untilHalo 2that players could use the Energy Sword. It was an ingenious addition on the part of developer Bungie.

The Energy Sword is essential when playing the multiplayer mode Infection. It’s a memorable weapon that deserves a rightful place inHalo Infinite.
6Plasma Grenade
A fist full of blue light is all you need to take down the toughest opponents. It takes a combination of practice and sheer luck to tag an opponent with a Plasma Grenade. Taking down other Spartans and UNSC infantry requires only one plasma grenade, but vehicles and tougher enemies like Hunters might need more than one.Halo Infinitewouldn’t beHaloif it didn’t contain the Plasma Grenade.
5Halo CE Pistol
Some might claim that theHalo: Combat Evolvedpistol is overpowered and spoils matches. You could be right, as theHalo: Combat Evolvedpistol drastically shifts the dynamics ofHalo.Perhaps the gun should be nerfed to have less power. It shouldn’t, however, be as weak as the magnum inHalo.
We’re hoping that theHalo: Combat Evolvedpistol is smartly integrated intoHalo Infinite. Perhaps it should be limited to specific game modes and not be a widely accessible weapon, as seen inHalo 5: Guardians.
4DMR
Halo Infiniteweapons are going to need to capture the essence of the original games, yet they will have to introduce new weapons. The DMR was a great addition toHalo: Reach, which later became a part of the main series. Its powerful semi-automatic firing makes it an outstanding weapon. It could be said that the DMR is an overpowered weapon. It might require balancing when it appears inHalo Infinite.
3Gravity Hammer
Every now and then, aHaloweapon becomes the foundation for a new game mode. In this case, the Gravity Hammer is used for the popular Griffball game mode. What began as a community game variant, later became a core game mode inHalo.

Halo’sdevelopers are more in touch with their community than most other developers are. They are continually reintroducing new modes that reach acclaim in theHalocommunity. It goes without saying that theGravity Hammer should be inHalo Infinite,as well as Griffball.
2Plasma Pistol
The appearance of the Plasma Pistol has changed over the years, but its functionality remains the same. This Covenant weapon is most effective at short to medium range.
Since the Plasma Pistol can stun vehicles and drain an opponent’s shield, it is highly effective. It is recommended to use the Plasma Pistol in combination with weapons like the magnum, DMR, or battle rifle. This weapon is less powerful than otherHaloweapons but has great potential because of its charged shots.
1Assault rifle
Throughout theHalovideo game series, Master Chief is the central character of the story. If we had to choose one weapon that Master Chief is most associated with, it would have to be the assault rifle. This UNSC weapon is air-cooled and gas-powered. This standard weapon is not heavily powered, but it is a reliable all-around sturdy assault rifle. It would be a loss for the series if it didn’t bring the assault rifle toHalo Infinite.
