343 Industries has shared more details on the upcoming Halo Infinite beta, or test flight, in its latest Inside Infinite post, including more details on the weapons you’ll be able to try out in the beta’s Weapon Drills mode.
Those chosen for the Halo Infinite beta will have access to the Academy experience, which prepares them for competitive play in a less-punishing setting. This includes Weapon Drills, which put you into a firing range where you’ll strafe and run while using a variety of weapons. Some of them are older Halo mainstays, while others are brand-new:
- MA40 AR
- BR75
- MK50 Sidekick (new)
- CQS48 Bulldog (new)
- Needler
- VK78 Commando (new)
- S7 Sniper
- Plasma Pistol
- Pulse Carbine (new)
- Ravager (new)
- Heatwave (new)
- Skewer (new)
If you’ve ever played Halo before, you surely know how the assault rifle and Needler perform, but the Heatwave and new CQS48 Bulldog shotgun may take some getting used to. The development team is soliciting feedback on this content, as well, to determine if it’s doing a good job of teaching players how the weapons operate.
