Halo Infinite weapons Tier List: All weapons, ranked

Halo Infinite‘s sandbox lives and dies by its weapons. If the gunplay isn’t solid and the weapons don’t feel fun, then little else matters. It’s something that the series has nailed over the years, and luckily, Infinite is no different.

In Halo Infinite, multiple old favorites return. You can find classic weapons like the Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer, helping the game feel familiar to long-time series fans. However, it also introduces several new weapons such as the Mangler and the Cindershot, which keep the sandbox fresh, even for Halo veterans.

Halo Infinite Weapons Tier List

Halo Infinite has 23 weapons in total across its campaign and multiplayer. This is more than enough to give you a ton of variety, because not all of the weapons will appear on every Halo Infinite map. Frankly, this is for the best. We couldn’t cope with every player on the server having power weapons all at the same – that might be a little too chaotic.

When ranking Halo Infinite‘s weapons into a definitive Tier List, there are a few things to consider. First of all – fun. We’re asking the question, “Do these weapons feel fun to use?” After all, it’s Halo, a series known for its iconic armory of weapons, so the best of Infinite‘s offerings will likely be the ones that are the most fun to use.

It’s important that we consider weapon efficiency, too. Sure, a weapon can feel fun, but it’s hardly any use if you can’t actually kill anyone with it. Pick up the weapons near the top of our Tier List to ensure you’re at the top of the leaderboard in every multiplayer match.

The fact that so many of Halo Infinite‘s weapons are in the S and A tiers here is a compliment to 343 Industries’ balancing. Overall, the studio did a solid job making sure the game’s armory feels fun and powerful, yet rarely overpowered. This isn’t to say that weapons in the B and C tiers can’t be well-utilized by skilled players. Still, the average gamer will likely have a tougher time trying to dominate multiplayer lobbies while using them.

With Halo Infinite still receiving updates years after its launch, even more weapons may be added in the future. Th🥀e M392 Ban༺dit is the most recent addition to the game, arriving in early 2023.
