You forgot the main weapon in everyone's arsenal: Blind thrown grenades

FYI: The shock rifle also causes an EMP effect on vehicles after 2 shots, shooting banshees outta the sky and into to the void with the things is too much fun

Some interesting tips I've learned over the days I've played: Pretty much all the banished weapons have drastically higher melee damage than all the other weapons in the game besides the hammer and sword of course. If you're within range, especially with The Mangler, go for a shot to the body and then a melee. It will immediately kill. The Hydra has a higher projectile speed while in non lock on mode. The heat wave is extremely effective on vehicles, namely because it's projectiles past directly through them and hit the drivers or pilots directly. They also just do a lot of damage in general so you can pretty much destroy most vehicles in the game with a mag and a half of the heatwave. Depending on what vehicle, you may find that vertical or horizontal will work better depending on its shape to make sure that most of the projectiles make contact and pass through. The repulsor is extremely hard to use but has an extremely high skill ceiling as well. After testing, I found that you can actually stop skewer bolts dead in their tracks right out of mid-air if you time your repulsor perfectly, and even things like wraith plasma mortars can be reflected back. Also, you can jump and then repulsor towards the ground to do a super jump, reminiscent of grenade jumping from past games. The grapple hook is extremely intuitive. It took me a while to figure this out, but if you grapple onto an enemy vehicle, you will automatically hijack them, and grappling onto a player also automatically melees them upon reaching melee range. The Dodge ability is extremely useful for closing in quickly for a melee kill, it catches people off guard quite often so use that to your advantage. Out of every Halo game so far, active camo feels it's absolute strongest in infinite. You are nearly completely invisible, so don't be afraid to walk out in front of enemies to flank around to their backs or use it to sneak into the back line to pick up a flag or hold an objective. One of the best anti-vehicle loadouts in the entire game is the shock rifle in conjunction with a grapple. Two shots with the shock rifle will EMP and disable pretty much every vehicle in the game, and granted you are in range, a quick grapple onto that disabled vehicle will hijack them while they are stunned. The shock rifle also does minimal damage to vehicles, so you won't have a damaged piece of junk after the deed is done like you would with a rocket launcher or a sniper rifle. The plasma pistol on a charge shot does not, I repeat, DOES NOT EMP anymore. be careful trying to go for a cheeky disable on that wraith from behind, you'll end up just pissing it off and getting yourself a mouthful of plasma. Although it is slightly janky, you can stand on top of a wasp even while it moves. Use this to advantage with your teammates to ferry flags across extremely large distances safely and quickly. Objectives like power seeds, oddballs, and flags, can be moved much more quickly by Sprint jumping and then dropping them, just like older games. This is extremely true for the oddballs, they drop and roll quite a large distance before stopping, and power seeds can be thrown quite a distance before falling to the ground. Fusion coils are an instant kill if thrown directly on an enemy, and also leave a small AOE Field of fire in their wake after exploding for a short amount of time. They can also be shot out of mid-air, or even shot out of the hands of an enemy player. I'm not entirely sure, but I think you may be able to grapple an enemies' fusion coil out of the air but I haven't tested this yet. Heavy machine guns on warthogs and on emplaced tripods are basically the strongest they've ever been in any Halo game. Do not hesitate to rip one off of its Mount and carry it around, it is extremely formidable and deals absurd amounts of damage to both players and vehicles. The skewer is a one shot hit to players, but I try not to use it for that. Think of it as basically the new Spartan laser, it is extremely powerful against vehicles, but do mind the slight projectile travel time and drop. Sniping a wasp from across the map might require you to aim up a few feet and lead your shot a yard or so. Also, vehicles take damage depending on where they are hit. Try to aim for where the engine would be for most vehicles, or just at center mass in general (front chassis on warthogs and mongooses, back panels of wraith and scorpion, etc.) Don't pick up the ravager LOL I'm not sure if this weapon is just absolutely horrible or if I'm just horrible with it, but getting a kill with it feels like an actual challenge. It seems to melt Shields kind of quickly though so it might be better to just use it to break Shields and then swap to a different weapon. Lastlyy, as tempting as it is, try to avoid jumping around in combat, unless it's to dodge an explosive weapon.. Strafing is basically faster than it ever has been in any other Halo and jumping puts you in a predictable movement Arc. You will find much more success against precision weapons by strafing rather than jumping around.

Gotta treat the needler like an SMG, keep to short engagement ranges and out of the open and it absolutely slays. As long as they can't block your line of sight and you keep the engagement close range I'd say it's actually my favourite and most powerful iteration of the needler so far.

The Cindershot ADS shot "follows" the crosshair as it travels allowing you to curve the shot around corners, or just attempt guarantee hits off scuffed initial trigger pulls

The EMP functionality of the plasma pistol has moved to the Disruptor. It’s super useful to lock a ghost down, they have no clue what hits them.

I've found the Mangler to be strong up close, one body-shot plus a single bladed melee is an extremely fast kill.

Note on the Energy Sword for duels: hitting your normal Melee button (instead of the trigger to "fire" your sword) causes it to Short Melee. Short Melees with the sword don't have a Lunge, but have a shorter cooldown between swings than the normal Long Melee. In a 1v1 sword duel, the fella swinging short melees will always win after a clash.

Quick note with the Mangler. It's one of the weapons that falls in the 'extra melee damage' category. This means one shot + melee with the Mangler will result in a kill.

FYI: Sentinel Beam penetrates the enemy and damage anyone behind him.

tip with the heat wave: use 2 vertical shots usually leave enemies easily cleaned up by the easier to land horizontal shot

The cindershot is actually guided by your crosshairs when aiming down your sights like the ad victoriam from halo 5 it’s kinda tricky at first but you can pull off some cool shots like when someone is across map peeking a corner off and on

FYI: the Cindershot is actually a guided projectile while ADS.

“That’s one of the older models right?” “Yes.” “That means it has heatseeking!”

fyi: the pulse carbine actually tracks enemies when ads and you have a red reticle. you dont actually have to account for projectile drop off and travel time

18:41 - You know someones a veteran halo 2 player when they spin the sights on the sniper to recalibrate the aim

Really growing to love the multiplayer. And getting crushed while doing so.

I can’t believe how strong the AR is at medium to long range.

The Mangler was explained incorrectly in this video. It is a decent mid-range weapon, but it is meant to be close quarters. 1 shot with a melee (almost simultaneously), I’ve gotten multiple double/triple/and sometimes quad kills with this gun on unsuspected flanks. And the melee also gives you an increased lunge which pays off huge.

A lot of people have been kinda dogging on the disruptor but i think it's actually pretty useful, keeps your oponents shields down for longer which is helpful for working with your team to capture a point or to keep the ball carrier on low health for an easy kill for you or your teammates

Bro this is actually so helpful, theres so many new guns in this game i was like "am i using this right?" with half of these 😅 Also, for halo vets this is known but the energy sword you should be able to press the regular melee button which is slightly quicker that the lock on swing, and will allow you to win your sword duels 😎

The way they neutered the hydra breaks my heart It was so much fun in Halo 5

Don’t forget to mention how you can shoot someone once with the mangler and melee them for a quick kill, pretty OP combo

I had already figured out a few guns from personal use but this video was really nice and easily digestible for it helped me understand more useful scenarios for each gun.

Mangler felt very “Wingman” form apex for me. And I loved getting headshots with it

"if nothing else is around, i'll go commando." -FalloutPlays, 2021 Planning on pulling some sick snipes that drop panties eh?

I really like the way you described every weapon in your video. It has helped me learn a lot and bettered my game. Keep making awesome content!

Great video! Definitely covered a bunch of great points! Some things I might add, is: 1.) A lot of the weapons now have a glint for the enemy to locate you and what weapon you have (As a long time veteran Halo player, I probably hate this the most). Sniper is a yellow glint, shock rifle blue, skewer a reddish hue, stalker rifle pinkish, and BR sometimes a white. 2.) Shock rifle actually fires three shots, but in very quick succession. This makes strafing or sprinting players much harder to one shot at long range. 3.) Plasma pistol no longer disables vehicles. Disruptor, shock rifle, and the dynamo grenades will disable vehicles. I wouldn't mind seeing a video on situational uses for the weapons or basics/changes that returning players should be aware of (headshots do extra damage only when shield is gone, plasma pistol, etc. Anyways, thank you for putting out a great basics video for the weapons! I will definitely share this video around my gaming community and friends!

I audibly moaned when my buddies and I played Oddball yesterday. My all-time favorite gamemode and I have been praying for it in D2 since forever. It sounds like it would be so easy, we already have ball physics and throwing/catching tech in the game.

When using the skewer, it's best utilization is as anti-air as its projectile speed is faster than the rocket launch and it one shots the wasp

Would love more halo content from you! Fell off destiny a while back but always loved your channel, was glad to get this info from you.

I really love in this game how every gun has a fairly unique purpose. Really adds a lot variety and thought into everything I’m picking up

Yesterday was such an exciting surprise. Dice and Activision are looking at 343 like "dude wtf?! We just released!" 😂

Love how the Stalker Rifle is basically a mix between a Carbine and a DMR, those are my 2 favorite weapons in Halo, glad to see a combination

thank you so much for this video! I'm so thankful for how to the point you made it

This was dope, liked and subbed

Mangler kills in one shot and one melee thanks to the brute buffed melee damage!

Disrupter can also EMP vehicles. The mangler also has a blade on it so it gets the melee buff. I dind't know about the black hole effect on the cindershot. Thanks for that!

This is EXACTLY the video I was looking for! Ty

Great video and insight 👍🏼

Looks like dedicated servers and a smooth pvp experience are back on the menu boys!

Never played halo in any depth, but this is exactly the kind of passionate KZfaq content I need in my life.

Thanks for taking the time to do this 👍🤙

the no penalty for air shots is one of the things that I loved from Halo, but after so many years in Destiny, it will feel weird...

Infinite has a lot of unique power weapons that feel fun to use, but 70% of the time I feel like the AR is too good to swap out. It’s got damage, range, and easy to aim reticle.

I always liked the AR. Specifically because it's seen as a noob weapon. It's not the best at anything, but it's better than the BR up close, and better than the shotty at range. Because of the noob reputation, a lot of players will take themselves out of their weapons advantage and fall for traps more easily. It's a defensive weapon that excels at moving between positions and ranges, luring your opponents into situations they aren't prepared for.

Thanks for pointing out the radar range. It felt tiny, but I just wasn't sure yet. I'd like to see an increase in radar range, since it always provided good counterplay potential if you could see what your CQC enemy is up to.

One thing to remember: Weapon reloads and venting take less time if you reload before the mag is empty, so if you only have one bullet in the mag, don't use it, reload it.

I like the emphasis on Kinetic and Energy in infinite, sure energy weapons have always been better against shields and weaker v flesh but it feels more prominent now

This video is so informative. Good job

That was actually really helpful, thanks

Needed this, haven't played since Reach, and Infinite plays a surprising amount like reach

The Disruptor also prevents enemies shields from recharging for a longer period of time, as well as the shock effect being able to chain to other enemies.

Helped me a lot my brotha thank you

Thank you for this. Helped tons!

Funny enough I didn’t expect this video to be helpful because I’m a halo vet, but it actually was. I guess it helped me having a visual and explanation of each weapon and it gave me some more ideas of how to use them. Man this game is awesome

The cynder has reticle soft tracking projectiles when fired in the aim mode also, the shock rifle also disables a vehicle like an old plasma pistol with 2 or 3 hits or so and seems to last a little longer. One thing Im supportive of is the skewer not destroying vehicles in a single shot - it allows for grappel launching with is insane if you wanna impress someone

Needed this so badly with all the new guns that were introduced. Thanks!

This is my 1st halo & im loving it. Thx for the video because I know nothing about these weapons

One thing I'd like to add about the brute shot, since it's a bladed weapon you can land one body shot into a meelee to secure a kill, become pretty good with that combo in mind

One helpful thing that wasn't mentioned: with the Mangler, I believe that you have increased melee damage. 1 body shot followed by 1 melee = a kill. It's pretty darn good once you get used to it.

Liked and subbed my man. Good vid.

I’ve only just started watching you, but already you’ve become one of my favourite Content Creators

343 the Giga Chad of the Shooter developers. Releases game surprising everyone while other AAA games come out, knowing they gonna be good

They really need the old shotgun back. I miss being able to one-shot up close, especially when facing an energy sword. When I see the Bulldog I typically just ignore it.

Informative and good advice thanks man

Super helpful thanks a ton! I’ve been playing halo since combat evolved but it’s been years since I’ve touched a halo game. Getting back into infinite now and it feels amazing but I definitely was clueless as to some of these guns

FYI: there are 2 different variations of the energy sword. One of them has a shorter distance of melee range but recovers slightly quicker for a faster second swing

The disrupter will also disable vehicles very quickly. Works great in btb when warthogs and ghosts are running rampant haha 👌

Super helpful vid, really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Quick note with the mangler, ravager, and spiker. They all have bladed melee, and as a result do more damage. (specifically feels like x1.5 dmg) The mangler can one shot melee combo. Really good with evade and grapple!

Another thing to note about the Mangler: Weapons with bayonets do additional melee damage, you can get a kill with the Mangler VERY quickly by shooting an enemy once then meleeing

After playing for a good amount of time, I have this aching feeling a lot of pick-up weapons feel lack luster. The BR and AR feel great and the sidekick is pretty good too. However, the shotgun, plasma carbine, commando, etc feel really inconsistent and kinda bad IMO Having said that, I feel like in the future we’ll see a return of more sandbox weapons and I can see the OG Magnum and shotgun making an appearance, and that’s exciting!

Loved the video I like the needaler on the one small map on raked it’s like almost a power I think

Great Video, Subbed.

That’s what you missed in the mangler. That gun is key for a one shot melee. Great paired with thrust or grapple

The hydra lock on is great for the wasp in BTB. Lock on while it's distracted and fire off a clip at them. They re usually dead before they even know what's coming.

Great video, thanks dude!

Thanks for the video, very useful

LOVE the mangler. By far my favorite new gun. Feels like Halo's version of the Wingman.

Dude, thank you so much! I didn't want to have to take the time to do this. Will probably do some custom games to get a better grasp on these. But so many of these confused the hell out of me. GG

Enjoyed the breakdown, definitely needed the Halo session. Thanks for the great video. Subscribing.

I love that all the guns feel good, and actually have a purpose in the sandbox.

That pistol in combat evolved was like a damn mini sniper when you ADS. I hated when they changed it

Thanks for this video!

This is a great video I didn't even know I wanted to see

19:25 "I'll definitely go commando. Just gotta work a little harder at controlling that recoil". Careful Fallout, doing that commando can definitely get you arrested...

you did the mangler wrong. it has an insane melee speed and is a 1 body 1 melee kill, which is its fastest time to kill.

Good guide. I'm just playing the campaign but still found this useful, as I'm not all that familiar with Halo weapons.

Great video! Thanks.

FYI: 3 shots of disrupter on an enemy will chain electric damage to any one near him. PS. It takes 7 shots to EMP vehicles.

I remember when fallout kept missing his harpoon shots and he would say damn it every time, it was kinda funny.

This was very helpful

very helpful, thank you

the skewer can one shot a lot of vehicles, but it matters WHERE you hit them. Hitting a warthog in the engine causes it to explode, but hitting it anywhere else causes massive damage

Just a heads up with the gravity hammer you can actually parry sword strikes in a few of the swinging frames mean you can survive a sword swing

This video is perfection - thankyou so much for this. Background info, current info, repeated testing of weaponry - just flawless. As a Bronze level noob, it may not help my clumsy hands mash the controls any better, but at least I now have a better understanding of the weapons themselves!

The mangler actually does increased melee damage so all you need is one body shot and a melee to get a kill

Based on just feel and the 15 hrs I've put into the game, I love the needler. It's not great past short range but on those smaller 4v4 maps it's been awesome for me
