Halo Infinite has a wide variety of weapons. This is all you need to know about their ammunition types and how to make the most of them.

Halo Infinite has taken a bold new direction with its open world campaign and free multiplayer games. Each mode contains a wide variety of weapons, most of which will return to the classics, and there are some new weapons you can try.

In addition to the huge weapon lineup of Halo Infinite, the five types of ammunition help to separate and distinguish most guns from each other. Each type of gun has different attributes, allowing them to demonstrate their advantages in certain situations. In any case, the type of ammunition is not a new concept to the Halo universe, but Infinite does a great job of communicating the capabilities of each weapon, allowing you to quickly decide whether to choose based on the current dilemma.

Kinetic ammunition is feasible in most situations, but it is most effective against unprotected enemies. Using precise kinetic energy-based weapons, if you manage to catch them off guard, you can kill most unshielded targets with one shot, such as grunts, wolves, and even elites. In addition, this is why when fighting other Spartans in the game’s PvP mode, if you pop their shield beforehand, fire a burst from your combat rifle-or a shot from the appropriate location in Sidekick-to you The opponent's head will drop them.

Unfortunately, kinetic weapons are useless to most of Halo Infinite's vehicles and are almost unacceptable to protected targets. It’s also worth noting that kinetic weapons are one of the most common guns in the game, so you are likely to have one at any time.

Compared with kinetic energy weapons, plasma weapons are best at fighting shields and heavy armored objects. This is not to say that every gun that causes plasma damage is a terrible choice against unprotected enemies. Nevertheless, with the exception of Stalker Rifle and Pulse Carbine shots, which are almost impossible to place perfectly, most of them are missing.

One of the most disappointing changes in Halo Infinite is the changes to plasma weapons, which completely lost the capabilities of EMP vehicles. However, guns such as plasma pistols can still deactivate the enemy's shields through charged shooting, and quickly kill the enemy with passive energy weapons headshots.

For weapons that are useful in any situation, power weapons are the best choice. They use their own unique category of ammunition. Although one might argue that the sniper rifle uses kinetic energy ammunition, or that the energy sword uses plasma, Infinite uses "power" as its ammunition type and can only be reloaded in the game campaign at the power ammunition station.

However, leaving aside the semantics, the power weapon is a big gun, which will determine the outcome of the game in the hands of the right person. Power weapons are usually set as a timer in multiplayer games and spawned in the middle of the map, allowing two teams to compete for it. If weapons are used wisely, no matter which team wins the confrontation, it will have an absolute advantage. These weapons are rare in battles, but will greatly help you in encountering bosses and challenging situations.

As mentioned briefly before, plasma weapons temporarily lost the ability of EMP vehicles in Halo Infinite, partly because of the addition of electric shock weapons to Halo's arsenal. Taking the scene as a new type of anti-vehicle weapon, the shock weapon can paralyze any vehicle in an instant, making it a huge threat in a large team battle.

While it's frustrating to see the plasma pistol lose one of its most iconic features, it feels equally good to be able to quickly disable the banshee from the sky with a shock rifle or use a generator grenade to stop a violent helicopter from running in its orbit.

"Hardlight" refers to pioneer technology, usually spelled "Hard Light", which converts light into a solid state for various applications, one of which is ammunition for certain weapons. However, because the hard light is the first mover, it is difficult to obtain, so it is difficult to find and understand.

In addition, the Forerunner weapon is useful in almost any situation, but it is therefore difficult to master. Whether your opponent has a shield, armor or is in a car, if in the right hand, a light-powered weapon may be the last thing they see.
