In a new Q&A video, 343 Industries developer Quinn DelHoyo plagues a “never seen before” weapon that will be in the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC game at launch . Unfortunately, DelHoyo does not say much else about this weapon, but suggests that it will fill the void left by the standard shotgun, which was removed in favor of a new automatic shotgun, called the Bulldog.
Regarding weapons, DelHoyo has confirmed that both new and classic weapons will be added after the launch, and of course, existing weapons will be regularly introduced and updated. That said, we do not have to wait until after the game is released to see more new weapons. DelHoyo confirms that there are new weapons that 343 Industries will still announce that will be available at launch.
Unfortunately, there is no word on whether the classic rifle will ever be one of these weapons. DelHoyo notes that there is room for the gun in sandbox mode, but at the moment it sounds like it will not come to multiplayer. If it does, it will play like in classic games, or at least that will be the goal. DelHoyo notes that the team wants to ensure that all legendary weapons feel like before.
More so than with Halo 5, you have the sense 343 Industries are not just extra purposeful with everything they are doing Infinite halo, but a little more respect for the legacy of the series, and that’s why Halo Infinite exists in the first place.
There can be no denying Halo was a much better and more popular product when Bungie was at the helm, so if you’re 343 Industries, it’s smart to use these legacy titles as much as possible.
Halo Infinite is in development for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, and will be released worldwide this holiday season. For more coverage on the sci-fi shooter and everything that plays, click here or check out the relevant links below:
