All the Halo Infinite weapons that I’ve seen so far (including the leaked ones) seem to fall into one of four categories:
- UNSC weapons: MA40 Assault Riffle; MK50 Sidekick; VK78 Commando; BR75 Battle Riffle; CQS40 Bulldog; S7 Sniper;
Hydra; M41 SPNKR - Covenant weapons: (These are different from banished weapons) Plasma Pistol; Pulse Carbine; Energy sword; Needler;
- Banished weapons: (These are different from covenant weapons) Ravager; Disrupter; Mangler; Shock Riffle; Stalker Riffle; Gravity hammer; skewer
- Sentinel weapons: (These are different from covenant and banished weapons)
Sentinel Beam; Heatwave; Cindershot
These categories are quite different and unique, and they’re easy to tell apart because of their unique designs. However, I’m not sure where the Gravity Hammer and the Stalker Riffle should go. The number of weapons in each category:
UNSC: 8
Covenant: 4
Banished: 8
Sentinel: 3
This is the pattern that I noticed. I am a little disappointed in the unbalance (Partly because there are so little Covenant weapons returning from previous games: Plasma Riffle; Beam Riffle; Carbine) but I really appreciate the new weapons that 343 made to replace them. Does anyone agree? Please let me know if I forgot something.
