[@shayhenderson6211]

Are these available in custom games atm off the bat, or do they need to be unlocked in the campaign before they become available in other modes (minus PvP obviously)

[@linlin17elite]

0p

[@KGcichlids]

Ultras are the “strongest” elites.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

What about the Diminisher of Hope and the Elite Bloodblade?

[@MakkuroK114]

The pinpoint needler can also lock-on to more than 1 target at once.

[@FalloutPlays]

True, & sick

[@stupidchange]

Holy shit lol

[@blackboto6251]

It’s also in 5th element lmao

[@YeOldeSwagger]

My favorite part of Halo 5 was the weapon variants in super fiesta. Good to see some of that love getting experimented with in Infinite!

[@wadoo-it]

I liked the REQ mixing, personally

[@anticip8dthegamer]

There's secret locations for these variants in the campaign. I found the BR Breacher on a fallen UNSC soldier while I was scouting an area near an Outpost. The game really rewards you for random exploration

[@Yomom12388]

Yeah they seem to be pretty well hidden in the campaign. Only one I’ve found so far is the Rushdown Hammer on a dead Brute in a little alcove on the mission where you infiltrate the excavation site. At this point now though I’ve got every variant except for the Hydra one so I’m not super worried about it. Though I will say if anyone reading this does find a variant before they unlock it, hold onto that weapon because the variants seem to vastly outclass the regular weapons.

[@anticip8dthegamer]

@@Yomom12388 those variants are clutch. I wonder if they'll get added into Multiplayer

[@zachrutman1392]

Pursuit Hydra found at one of the UNSC mock bases when storming the Brute Boss’s fortres. It’s on a corner next to some fusion coils. I think it’s the second base, they sent some Hunters after me (Heroic difficulty).

[@anticip8dthegamer]

@@zachrutman1392 thanks brother

[@lesionpulse766]

Wow! That’s actually really cool! Gonna have to keep an eye out for those on my next playthrough

[@HannyaHalo]

Another small detail you missed on the Hydra is that the regular hydra will kill in 2 missiles without lock-on and will kill in 4 with lock on. While the new variant will kill with 3 missiles regardless and the overall tracking is much stronger and near impossible to strafe out of in mid to long range.

[@DJIsher1]

I had no idea that the regular version killed in 2 with regular fire. Thanks for the info!

[@GetOffMyPhoneGoogle]

The regular also hits vehicles like a truck if you don't lock on.

[@ibrahimshaheen9604]

The alt Heatwave also has strong tracking on its bounces, whereas the regular Heatwave has little to no tracking

[@Ayto27]

I feel like that was an inexcusable detail to leave out. The new tracking is fucked from what I've seen

[@Konker606]

You can collect that gun in a small room in the east guarded by an elite. I really want to know if anyone else has found any others I also know where the sniper is and plasma pistal

[@sovietdoggo3779]

Just so y'all know these variants come from the campaign which you earn from defeating bosses

[@KillerOrca]

Well, most of them. The UNSC ones you unlock through getting Valor (you can find em on the FOB tab in the menu)

[@mooreyouwant]

Yeah, but this is a video about pvp. Not everyone is gonna play the campaign. These might show up in a variant of fiesta at some point though

[@phoenixfireblade1]

I picked up the br75 breacher varient and the s7 sniper varient just exploring no bosses or anything

[@mooreyouwant]

@@phoenixfireblade1 same! I've been seeing them scattered in super remote areas! I wonder if they were there before you earn them though 🤔

[@mbii7667]

@@mooreyouwant everyone should absolutely play campaign

[@MikhailHudon_ZerithFarron]

really hope we get the glitch that lets you shoot another gun's ammo in any gun of choice. Snipers shooting plasma pistol shots is always funny no matter the circumstance.

[@matthewfranklin1826]

We'll have to wait for forge to find that out

[@codybarton37]

Shots from the special heatwave will ricochet towards enemy players almost guarantying a hit after bouncing off of a surface making it much better at its intended role.

[@saits6877]

I'm pretty sure these are campaign weapon variants. I heard in a review that you could hunt for weapon variants as a side quest. If so, i'm hoping 343 adds them in a variant only mode. Could be wrong though.

[@mariom1653]

They are in campaign the HVT mission

[@pierocolombo2643]

That disruptor reminds me so much of anarchy in a sidearm is crazy

[@justriskit4423]

He even called it arc damage lol

[@sirlordsilver6588]

Hey fallout, you forgot to mention that the alternate heatwave projectiles track to enemies after it banks off a wall or floor

[@MakutaNazo]

As it turns out, there are two MORE secret weapons you may have missed ;) Another sword and hammer. Hope to see those get checked out as well.

[@Supersteam09]

This guy doesn’t play campaign which is why he’s lacking in such information. Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer. Difference is they have similarities to hard light weapons and they hit harder. Of course OP wouldn’t know because he’s a PVP goon.

[@RonZertnert]

So while I had initially just planned to view your video for an update on the different guns for campaign, your smooth voice and relaxing piano kind of captured me. Great video!

[@mitzi3262]

Would love to see these weapons in a special game mode or something, maybe even replace some maybe.

[@shottingham]

Locked behind a paywall and only available for a week! Jokes (truth?) aside, I can't wait to try these out in PVP. Getting og Halo vibes from some of the guns, plus it seems to actually reward accuracy, which honestly, is a great thing.

[@spowden]

@@shottingham That sounds way more like Halo 3, locking people from matchmaking if they don't buy DLC

[@trentm.364]

13:43 Hey Fallout another amazing video as always. One thing I am curious about is if you tested the volatile skewer against vehicles. With the damage of the skewer impact and the added explosive damage it could be the only weapon in Halo that could one shot vehicles.

[@ag99900]

the normal skewer one shots wasps, banshees, and I think it one shots ghosts as well

[@rotaderp88]

@@ag99900 can’t comment on the other ones but it does not 1 shot the ghost

[@joshuaamado559]

Went thru legendary not knowing all these variants existed...that sentinel beam would have made things so much better

[@thingsgoB00M_]

I believe the Duelist sword also attacks slightly faster than the normal sword

[@dragonsword7370]

faster movement, lunge and slightly more damage. I wish it had the Blood blade attributes instead cause being able to melt enemies like forerunner weapons is great for some odd reason.

[@joeybaxter70]

Love the vid also, the alternate heatwave tracks like crazy on the ricochet shots!

[@yurpcrusher123]

I’m so glad u are doing these Halo vids. Just a dope ass content creator. You’re like my one stop shop for destiny and halo.

[@good_morning_guardians]

I'm curious if the cindershot variant has any new properties to the laser guided ADS feature. Most people tend to not know it does that at base so it'd be cool if the variant bumped that up even more somehow

[@Civmonopolis]

I can only see these being used in a Super Fiesta mode(s).

[@clarkehughbanks9081]

Very cool info on these variant guns in Halo Infinite. Looking forward to the pinpoint needler and rushdown hammer.

[@wierddude5477]

If you wanna use them you can get them in the campaign it'll take a bit to unlock them but they are crazy op in it

[@Kspat2]

That Breacher BR in campaign would be so fun to use in PvP.

[@SquirrilahFish]

Thanks for this! I had no idea some of these were so fun. And def need to carry a rush down and duelist for free roam exploring.

[@Geroldus]

With the Backdraft Cindershot, if you ADS you can also steer the shot as it flys through the air.

[@DeviantGodOfEvil]

You can do that with the regular cindershot

[@Idc.at-all]

You can 3 shot with the disrupter variant if you wait for the electric explosion to go of before shooting them again

[@HeeroAC195]

This helped a lot, thanks dude!

[@Coolmusicplaylist]

The sniper varients while they sound bad on paper the extra ROF makes a HUGE difference. I got one in btb and it was fun and effective

[@Supersteam09]

You can also find weapon variants in the Campaign. It’s not only in custom games.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

The funny thing about the impact commando is that it's actually pretty solid as a DMR and only using full-auto in close range (where it obviously shreds). Kinda funny that they made a weapon that's good, but in the exact opposite way they meant it to be 😂 edit: also, the unbound PP can (or at least used to) one-shot people from close range [if all the orbs hit]. Not all that useful, but super satisfying when it works!

[@MrHellohorse]

That needler would make Zorg so proud.

[@ebillicus3968]

So glad you’re covering other games man. You’re my favorite gaming KZbinr. I have been a huge sucker for Destiny since the beginning and for the very first time, I sadly don’t even have it installed on my xbox. It’s just so boring atm. Really hope they get it together. Anyways yeah, love the content bro keep it up!!

[@musecist1]

Thanks! Great video! There are some other variants like Diminisher of Hope hammer and Elite Bloodblade sword, but I guess they are just different skins of the regular variants?

[@TheVictorio]

In the campaign the UNSC weapon variants are hidden throughout the map so you can get them before unlocking with valor, I found a few lol

[@HannyaHalo]

AWESOME VIDEO 1 thing though you forgot to mention that the alternate Heatwave has lock on after bouncing it's true try aiming at the ground away from a player. It will bounce off and aim straight for them. Getting Bankshot kills will be a breast with this thing.

[@spaceviking2344]

Cant wait for Infection Playlist. No need to modify zombie run/jump speed if they all spawn with the Duelist Energy Sword. Would make for some good gameplay

[@Sn0w037]

the Heatwave variants' projectiles track people once they bounced near them, shoot the floor in front of a player and all the projectiles will go right to the player

[@SnapshotSam]

So glad these variant exists. unless I'm mistaken theyre the art for the weapons used in the weapon drills.

[@wierddude5477]

they are actually in the campaign

[@No_Feelings]

10:45 so its anarchy: the pistol. Greeeeeat

[@cerebrateincarnate9127]

"hidden" most of these weapons are accessible at all your bases in the campaign after completing the assignation type missions. ANYWAYS here is something fun. Give all your marines the "Arcane Sentinel Beam" and load them into the passenger warthog. They have pinpoint accuracy, unlimited ammo, and can destroy a phantom in about 6-9 seconds (I didnt really count but trust me.... you dont need to). They just wipe everything out the moment they see it even on legendary.

[@SakuraTbh]

Yeeees this is exactly what I needed as a new player to infinite 😁 thank u

[@luv-lost]

You shoudld test the red sword and hammer. I love them in campaign. But duelist sword, bandana, and grapple is beyond fun. Hope the red sword boost speed as well

[@mav2553]

The flex fire sniper doesn't haave to be both head shots for a two shot kill. Can be one body shot and one head shot. As long as the body shot is first, head shot second. Makes it really great for quick hip fire. Smoke dudes like that.

[@gman2801]

So the ‘hidden’ versions are also available in the campaign after you beat the high value targets. There is also some variants of weapons that are ONLY available in the campaign

[@GrimReaver]

I’m more hyped for the rush down hammer and duelist energy sword especially. I will terrify the other players with these monsters.

[@Marksman2oo7]

1) you missed that the unique cindershot has a guided projectile when zoomed in 2) you missed that the unique plasma pistol’s uncharged shots track the target

[@Stan-ce4oz]

The Heatwave Variant Is Called Scatterbound Heatwave

[@GLaSSesNOlenses]

Cool video dude

[@notracefaceless]

Would have liked to see what some of those variants did to vehicles like the skewer or commando. And didn't really see a charged plasma pistol shot against a close player

[@cardnal44]

God the volatile skewer's explosion feels so aggressive

[@RoseAltro]

They are usable in the campaign. Just thought to make that known.

[@bell2241]

Btw this is all from the campaign, after getting valour for the UNSC weapons and after completing HVTs in campaign for the alien guns.

[@autobotzapof0002]

Wait, you didn’t try slashing at the same time as another sword user with the duelist? That’d be fun to see.

[@VTCruzer]

They're campaign weapons that bosses drop

[@SWARM_OF_GNOMES]

Infection with alphas and duelist swords would be crazy

[@vyst8132]

You missed that the variant heatwave also has insane tracking after bouncing once

[@conner-leo]

Holy shit, awesome! I'm imagining a game mode with all these enabled at once, lol.

[@AngelsLance]

Does the Backdraft Cindershot still track the crosshair while ADSing?

[@skullgrindor5421]

In campaign, the UNSC guns have a cooler white, yellow, black, and gray color scheme/palate.

[@buddyimevil5775]

It may be a less popular idea, but they should give that sniper the 343 design from 4-5 so people can tell the difference a lot more when picking it up

[@capital_underscore3472]

Very cool!

[@campbellhansen7533]

Little thing with these: some of these are available in the campaign, and a Razorback full of volatile skewers is a straight up anti vehicle, long range sniping mortar crew.

[@marcorichterdemedeiros9469]

Small note about the variant energy sword, you seem to slide much further (or for a longer time I can’t really tell with the gameplay I’ve had with it) but either way you go zoom

[@margini6795]

I think those weapons were made for the campaign cause those kind of weapons shouldn't be in a multiplayer it would completely break the weapon balance.

[@DaRealXotic]

I found the unbound plasma on the side of a wall in campaign, I'm pretty sure you can just find all of these

[@levistaeirssr2684]

I hope these are able to be obtained in the campaign as well

[@wierddude5477]

Yes they are, you defeat high value targest to get them, I use the varient pistol nearly the whole campaign onced I unlocked it other weapons not so much since the limitations in amunition since the normal versions can't refill the ammo for the varients

[@ABuffaloDub]

Pacing of video was great

[@ImitationJesus]

Looking forward to the new Rushdown Hammer apes.

[@cynical_sans]

Heatwave variant tracks enemies on a ricochet basically scattershot 2.0

[@NameNotGiven766]

The heatwave’s ricochets towards enemies too

[@valentinasauce7083]

My 3 favorites is the pistol absolutely a beast and easily the best of them all and then the shotgun and then my favorite fun but also powerful is the rapid fire pulse gun

[@Kspat2]

Imagine using the arcane sentinel beam in pubs 😂

[@Cenzurk]

Fun fact or fact: these weapons are on halo infinite campaign

[@gelphaze1229]

There are a few vehicles in this game but so far only one vehicle variant you come across in the the campaign a gold chopper that has a higher rate of fire and had energy blades on the front when you press the thrusters, much is unknown about this vehicle as players only get one opportunity to drive it if they successfully take it from the spartan killers intact.

[@codymelcher6947]

I kept trying and got skewered 😂 it was nice, but I wish you could get it at FOBs

[@curse0flife510]

You missed two more melee weapon the diminsher of hope and the elite bloodblade.

[@lossless4129]

Feel like these were the actual guns last year and the leadership that came in was like….”errrr no” haha

[@AveGluteusMaximus]

Take a shot every time Fallout says "deep"

[@Vanastarr]

I found a Breacher BR somewhere near the Excavation Point before or after killing Bassus

[@mangoslice6319]

With the way melee is bugged and people are lunging at me with the sword from across a room…It feels like they have the duelist sword 😂

[@owenleynes7086]

i imagine these are intended for something like super fiesta where all the guns are buffed

[@adambasha6775]

I know this is completely off topic to what this video is about BUT you have to make a garden of salvation beginners guide even in December closing in on 2022

[@W1ckedRcL]

They're not really 'hidden' weapon variants. They're all HVT rewards from the campaign and they're all usable in the campaign from the FOB weapon crates once you kill their associated HVT.

[@mattmc9812]

I hope they get these Campaign

[@dahow22]

I love having these guns in the campaign, but they would be so OP in multiplayer and should never get added to that game mode.

[@FelipeNiclvs.]

3:49 rip pc players 😢 just went back and re experienced red reticle in mcc and i didn't know how much i missed it until i saw it

[@jamescruz8678]

What song is playing in the background?

[@tysones6451]

Get a razorback, five marines, and give them all the arcane sentinel beam. You will become a literal GOD while driving the warthog. Trust me nothing even gets the chance to shoot you before they turn to dust

[@jeromychason107]

I wonder if those weapon variations will be in the campaign?

[@IxXDOMINATORXxI]

The heatwave variant is glitched it does have a name when you beat the boss that has it and then it's in your weapon locker it will show it's actual name

[@CodyAcornRollins]

Thanks for telling me that weapon variants were in custom games

[@Daginni1]

I using this video as a "whats what" for halo infinite campaign weapons lol

[@ryansledz2515]

I am excited but wow i am scared😂

[@timelesswisdom.]

A Star Trek ad on a halo video now that’s funny

[@sharonbraselton4302]

yes cañ twàít

[@DELTAPHADE]

Does anyone know how you “call” them in ? I heard cortana say she makes copies of them for you to use but I have no clue where to find them

[@vizzy61]

You get em at the FOB's. You'll see a floating green AR, go there and hold interact, and you select from a wheel of weapons.

[@domcollomosse5236]

They're in the campaign as HVT weapons

[@Supersteam09]

Shock rifle, in campaign, it has 20. I get your videos are PvP based but if your going to do a thorough weapon analysis, it’d make sense to cover ALL basis. If you had done that, I would have subbed. Shock Rifle variant has less ammo than the original but of course has harder hitting effects.

[@shawnbiggins89]

I swear to jeebus I got the alt energy sword in fiesta mode during the event.

[@_yoshivolts_115]

I actually got a tracking rocket on a btb map, but when I fired it, it didn't follow the target

[@Spartanqp]

The unbound tracks on regular shots tho

[@spectrespark8023]

How do you use them in custom games?
