Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle For Halo Infinite

The Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle or the plasma rifle is one of the best sanghelii weapons in all of the Halo franchise, or at least in my opinion. but the fact that Halo Infinite dose not have very much sanghelii weapns and seeing the plasma rifle would be one of the best things and the fact the normal one has not been in any 343 Halo’s, besides H2A, is kinda annoying.
Please, Please, Please 343 Add it.

Halo Reach Plasma Rifle
OR
HCE Plasma Rifle Concept

To see what Designs would be pretty cool to see again or at all in a game.

Asset wise? No. But it’s still technically 343 putting the plasma rifle into a halo game they worked on. I want it back too, don’t get me wrong. The storm rifle was a pointless replacement and the pulse carbine is neither weapon.

The Pulse Carbine is a fresh take meant to combine both. However this does not mean that the OG Plasma Rifle should be permanently omitted from the game.

I think it makes loads of sense to bring the Plasma Rifle into Halo Infinite as the “Brute Plasma Rifle”. It fits the Banished theme better than the classic Plasma Rifle, and I think there is room in the game for two tier 1 SMG weapons to be added. The classic Plasma Rifle should be in the game as a weapon variant, IMO.

Regardless, there is definitely a need for more automatic weapons in the game. Currently there is:

  • The MA40 AR (Standard Auto Weapon)
  • The VK78 Commando (Which can’t actually be used full auto because of bloom).
  • The Disruptor (Which has a slower rate of fire than semi-auto weapons)
  • The Needler (Which has homing projectiles)

There are currently no automatic plasma weapons so the Plasma Rifle is an obvious choice to add to the sandbox.

Agree; either the Plasma Rifle and/or Plasma Repeater (the latter for extended range) ought to be added to Infinite.

And in response to “what niche or role would it fill that other automatics don’t”, well, the PR could have a slow/stun effect as it did in Halo 1.

  • Plasma Repeater (in Rifle category) would have increased range, slightly reduced fire rate, longer duration of slow effect
  • Plasma Rifle (in SMG category) would have substantially reduced range, increased fire rate, reduced duration of slow effect, but the slow effect itself could be accumulative/stackable per shot
