If you were to bring back one weapon for Halo Infinite, what would it be?
Personally I’d love to see the bruteshot/concussion rifle make its return. After missing it in Halo 5, I felt something missing from the sandbox.
I’d absolutely love to see the classic plasma rifle make a return. No more storm rifle, and more plasma rifle. I’m even fine with the plasma repeater, but just not the storm rifle.
The Mauler.
Or the incendiary grenade.
The original plasma rifle hands down.
The storm rifle, because I think it’s a fun gun.
The Needle Rifle. It was always wierd how the Covenant had a metric ton a plasma weapons and only one weapon that uses the pretty pink needles of death. Besides, I suck at aiming, so having a precision rifle with supercombine functionality would help me greatly.
Halo 2 style Brute Shot, or Halo Reach Grenade Launcher.
I vastly prefer bouncy grenades to concussive ones.
I wish the Bolt Shot from Halo 4 returned.
I love the OG Plasma Rifle, but I’d like to see it as the Covenant equivalent of the SMG. Have the Plasma Repeator make a comeback as the Covenant equivalent of the AR, maybe give like a high ROF 5 round burst or something.
I want the Plasma Castor to return. It was definitely a unique weapon that screamed “alien tech” much like the Needler did upon release. And you can argue that it’s no different than the concussion rifle from Reach, but it felt better. Also some weapons are just cooler with dual firing modes. Just to make it more unique and standout instead of a bullet hose.
The Hydra is another really cool, really unique weapon that was, for me, a welcome addition. Whether tracking enemies, or close quarters barrage, it was definitely a capable support-style weapon that could really excel in team play.
I’d like to include some other Brute weapon, but sadly, other than the gravity hammer, none stand out as a must. The Bruteshot, for me, was upstaged by the grenade launcher from Reach. The Mawler is just a limited range shotgun, and doesnt have the panache of a shotgun, or scattershot.
I’d rather have the Halo Reach magnum, because it felt like a good blend of accuracy and RoF, with lower damage, as a sidearm should. None of that “utility weapon” nonsense.
Definitely nailed the AR though (MA40?) The MA37 was easily my favorite AR from Halo. Loved its stripped down, modern-day carbine look. Definitely similar in some aesthetics to today’s M4A1.
Anyways, those are my picks for returning weapons,with some added tweaks.
I am going to say the mauler because then dual wielding has to return. :3
Also, every grenade needs to return.
I want to see the BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle from Halo 4 coming back in Halo Infinite.
As long as they don’t take my Railgun out of the game…
As for returning weapons? Hnnn, tough one. Either the Sticky Detonator or Flamethrower as top picks.
Bring back one weapon…I’d have to say sticky detonator! (One of the only things Halo 4 did right in my opinion lol)
Incendiary grenades

One of the best things ever was sticking a vehicle, watching the enemy team all pile into it and drive away, then smacking that Detonate button…
“Triple Kill! Flag Dropped!!”
I agree, brute shot is fun to use. I prefer it over concussion Rifle.
The Halo CE Flamethrower with a damage increase. I don’t know why it was never brought back in that form. It was OK as a support weapon, but it would be way better as a power weapon.
The needle rifle is my all time favorite Halo weapon, a shame it’s only in the one game.
CE flamethrower
I’m split between the Halo: Reach Grenade Launcher, Plasma Rifle, and Incendiary Grenades.
