If all four versions of the Plasma Rifle are in Halo Infinite how would you all make them different from one another
In Halo 2 the normal blue plasma rifle had the traditional fire rate, damage and overheat time while the brute plasma rifle had higher damage and fire rate but overheated way faster. Idk what the third plasma rifle you’re talking about is.

Im guessing either it’s about different ierations of plasma rifle throughout the games it has appeared in, in which case the number is too low or it could be about plasma rifle & it’s equivalents, plasma rifle, brute plasma rifle, plasma repeater & storm rifle.
If former is the case then I would be against the idea as the different iterations are too similar by functions to differ enough from each other to make their inclusion sensible, nor would it make sense timeline wise.
If it’s the latter then some could be included but likely not all, plasma rifle & brute plasma rifle differ slightly but only should be used if the story supports appearance of both, repeater & storm rifle could work if plasma rifles would be strong shieldbreakers in closer ranges while repeater/storm rifle would be more accurate.
How repeater & storm rifle could differ then, repeater could work as more of a full auto weapon becoming stronger the longer the trigger is held while storm rifle would be more even damage, repeaters increasing damage would work better on charging enemies or approaching vehicles whereas storm rifle would work better on bit more distant enemies, under carbine range but over other full auto plasma weapons.
but in any case 4 similar weapons seem too alike either way, if only one should survive to Infinite, it should definitely be plasma rifle.
Blue plasma rifle - similar fire rate to Reach’s version. Should be able to fire enough rounds to kill a spartan and break another’s shield before overheating this’ll depend on the ttk of infinite. Give it the stun effect and accuracy akin to CE version.
Brute plasma Rifle - slightly weaker but faster fire rate. Overheats quicker but features an jiralhanae style energy bayonet for bonus melee damage. Uses energy from the gun when you strike.
Plasma repeater - I think this should be the true “AR counterpart” should elites be playable again and invasion-style gamemodes appear. Give it faster projectiles and modify it’s ttk to suit infinite. Keep the manual venting and the increased accuracy and lowered fire rate as it heats up
Storm rifle - murder it’s accuracy. Beef it’s fire rate and projectile speed. Make it so it can fire for a decent amount of time before overheating. I want to soo this turn into the plasma version of the SAW

I love every part of this. Blue and Brute plasma rifles fill the role of a plasma based SMG, with minor differences between the 2. I loved the repeater from Reach, and I’d love to see it make a return as a normal infantry plasma based AR. and seeing the Storm rifle take the place of, the first plasma based power weapon, but also, not the plasma turret, would be honestly so cool. Just beef up its design a little and it would be perfect.
