Halo 5's gun design is different when comparing to other games, and every weapon has high damage. RELATED: Halo Infinite: 10 Weapons We Want To See In The Game However, choosing a bad weapon from Halo 5 would inaccurate. Today we are looking through each Halo game and picking out the worst guns to use. Players have seen weapons come and go some changed dramatically. Plus, while not the chainsaw rev of Halo 1's AR, Infinite's starting rifle has some real heft to its audio-a bassy rat-tat-tat that makes it feel a tad more powerful than it probably deserves.The Halo series has had tons of weapons when battling the Covenant forces, the Flood, and recently the Forerunners. If you find yourself in a tense, short-range tussle, the assault rifle isn't just viable-it's probably one of your best options. The Commando chips from a distance but doesn't have the rate of fire to devastate up close, and while a competent sidearm, the Sidekick isn't Halo 1's god-tier Magnum.Įven the Bulldog shotgun isn't the instant-win boomstick shotgun of Halos past.

The battle rifle, a precision burst-fire weapon that's come to define how Halo plays, isn't the head-bursting machine it used to be. Plus, with the increased move speed of Halo Infinite, there's a lot more value in a weapon that can reliably track foes that are sprinting, sliding and slinging themselves across the map.īut what helps most of all is that, in Infinite, there's no real 'best' weapon. Halo Infinite's smart-link (a loose kind of aim-down-sights that lets you squint at distant foes without increasing accuracy or really zooming in at all) lets you punish a little harder with it. But on a pure gut level, it just feels like the AR is an all-around more versatile weapon-able to poke a little further, and deal damage a little more consistently. There are probably hard numbers to explain why, in terms of damage per shot, damage falloff, weapon spread and such. But I'm rarely pulling a Halo in Infinite because, shockingly, the assault rifle actually feels great to use?
