So in shadows of reach Escharum has gravity axes. I’m assuming at some point in halo infinite we will fight Escharum and I’m assuming he will use these in the fight. So will we get to use these ourselves as well? I sure hope so. What do you guys think?

I think it will happen. Tartarus had one and the visual effect in the cut scenes seemed similar to the visual effect given off my that electric pulse grenade (or whatever it’s called). Also some people zoomed in on Chiefs visor and a brute that carries the same hammer appears in it. Some good info floating around in that google doc someone uploaded.
i hope so, at least in multiplayer.
That sounds badass, what did they look like? I hope some red glow.
When I heard that part in Shadows of Reach, I was excited. It sounds like it would be such a badass melee weapon.
Gravity Axe?! That sounds so awesome! I haven’t read Shadows of Reach yet, but it sounds good. As for the weapon, it seems very brute like. Would be an interesting weapon to use if added. Also interesting to see how it would fit with the gravity hammer and sword.
That might be intertwined with the same dynamics as that new grappling hook on chiefs wrist come to think about it. It can pull things towards you in the same way. Technically the dynamic already exists with that weapon.

I’m not sure what they look like but I think maybe they’re the things escharum has on his shoulders in the demo.
A gravity axe would be the single coolest thing that has happened because of the brutes in halo. 343i wouldn’t even have to make a new weapon, it can function as a hammer. It would just look cooler.
I’m inferring the gravity axe would be similar to Thor’s Stormbreaker, Mjolnir, or God of War’s axe where it can be used as a pick up melee weapon or a throwable. Maybe they’ll add a couple of gimmicks here and there to differentiate from other games such as medium AOE knockback or a penetrating effect. Sure, the gravity axe function may overlap with a couple of weapons here and there but it’ll sure be fun to use.
I don’t think we’ll use them, like how we didn’t get to use Tartarus’s gravity hammer in Halo 2. Although it could be a halo 5 scenario and be a unique weapon like Prophet’s Bane and Tartarus’s Gavel. In the game but not necessarily in multiplayer as a whole (only in a Warzone type gamemode)
I’m more concerned on making sure any new weapon added to the sandbox isn’t bloatware and actually contributes to the game outside of “uhhh it would be cool”

There’s a “get over here” joke just waiting to be made here.
Oh yeah I think Escharum will have will have his very own gravity axe. Hopefully we will have a bossfight.
But how will it function? how will it be different from the hammer? Any thoughts?
The hammer’s practically an axe anyway, as most games usually have a big blade on the other side of the hammer head.

Maybe the melee button to swing, which has a Gravity Hammer effect, and Right Trigger to throw, which would return after it
A) Hits someone/something
B) Goes too far
C) Is hit back by an explosion or gravity effect
It could take half shields out if thrown, insta kill if melee’d on target, and gravity effect is same as Grav Hammer
That would be an insane weapon in the multiplayer. Sounds cool!
