Since the release of halo infinite I wondered what new weapons we would get?
No idea yet, but I would be interested to see existing weapons being modified by the Created for use by their organic armies. They could just produce their own weapons, but the sandbox is already pretty massive so modifications of existing weapons could be interesting.
Should remain with the classic weapons
not sure what’s coming but I’m hoping to see some new additions that are fun to use and fit in well with the rest of the weapons. I’d also love to see weapon variations return but handled better than halo 5 because that didn’t turn out well. most of the reqs felt either too op or too lazy.

define classic weapons. also, every single halo has added numerous different kinds of weapons, it wouldn’t seem right to just not add anything new.
I liked all of Halo 3’s base weapons so im hoping they will add the majority of those or the ones from halo 5 and some new ones
Since the revelation of Cortana forming basically her own covenant, i would love to see a forerunnerish spin on the weapons used by absorbed factions. The grunts surrendered pretty fast to cortana and joined her, which led to them being rewarded with new weapons and ships, plus the ability to manufacture it.
Maybe the old fashioned plasma weapons will recieve upgrades for them, where as the swords of sangheilios will keep using the existing armaments.

All the weapons that define halo
What i mean by that is when you see the weapon and you instantly recongnize from which video game its coming from.
E.g.
Magnum (M6G)
M6C
Assualt Rifle
SMG
M90
S.A.W
Battle Rifle
DMR
Sniper 114mm
Rocket Launcher (M41 Variation)
A-R-C 920 (Rail Gun)
M6 Spartan Laser
Grenade Launcher (M319)
No need to add more weapons
343i should work with the current weapons and improve them rather to keep adding tones of new weaponry
They could also create variation from the current weapons (e.g. Reach Energy Rifle 51> Plasma Rifle 25)
I want a Brute crossbow.
It could be cool to get a human equivalent to an energy sword. Perhaps a sword.
The scarab gun would be enjoyable for the sake of playing around. And the rumored gravity gun would be a fun addition. Maybe even a forerunner sword or hammer.
id really like too see a covenant shotgum that shoots a scatter plasma round that would be really cool
As far as changes to the weapon sandbox go I think its going to be similar to how it shifted in Halo 4 to 5.
I’m guessing a lot of the Forerunner weapons are going to be radically different again and we might even see a couple new ones introduced. I think we’ll also see a couple to few new Human and ‘Covenant’ weapons. If the Brutes make a return we might even see their arsenal come back with some new additions and changes for the better.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the Needle Rifle will make a return as thats my absolute favorite weapon and 343 made a variation of the Carbine that was fairly similar to the weapon.

I cam here to say this, essentially. I’m hoping we can see some really sweet stuff, like blends between human weapons forerunner weapons. i think it would be a fun story element.
Jackal shield

I came to say the exact same thing. Would be really fun to have everyone spawn with a Jackal Shield and an Energy Sword in some custom game.
Since Infinite will more than likely deal with humanity backpedaling and using whatever they can get their hands on, id like to see key characters using special variants/signature weapons. For example, Master Chief could use a custom MA5B, with an extended magazine, maybe a different paint job, and possibly a silencer, and does more damage. Kelly could have a special shotgun with improved damage output, different paint-or even she can dual wield specialized pistols, Fred could have a high rate of fire DMR, cool paint, and a maybe an extended mag. Linda could have a Sniper with enhanced damage output and cool paint, maybe different scope. I just thing that’s be a cool way to show a passage of time between the end of Halo 5 and Infinite.
This could show how the Spartans could further specialize their gear in the field, rather than rely on regular ordinance, they improve their gear to better suit their specializations.
We’ll probably see all the old ones so if we do get new ones, it’ll probably be updates to those, or possibly related ones.
Im crossing my fingers for an MA5K TBH.
Though at this point I dont know what else they could possibly add to the sandbox…its already got a heck of a lot of weapons PLUS all the REQs
I would also totally be down for a Spartan-sized riot shield.
I think that 343 should focus on balancing all the weapons in the sandbox currently and giving each one a roll in the sandbox before adding any new stuff that could become redundant.
Tornado gun, the most requested weapon in years.
I really hope we get the H5 weapon sandbox + original weapons from CE, H2, H3, HR and H4.
CE: AR, Plasmarifle, plasmapistol, shotgun & sniperrifle.
H2: Bruteshot, beam rifle & sentinel beam.
H3: Flamethrower, mauler & spiker.
HR: Focus rifle, concussion rifle, needlerrifle, DMR, plasmalauncher & target locator.
H4: Sticky detonator.
and the brute grenades & vehicles from H3.
