Halo Infinite Weapon Tier List

[@Nikos.]

UPDATED TIER LIST: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWiYXqh9p92phqc I love the discussion guys. Keep the comments coming, I've learned a lot about some of my least favorite weapons. I've been running those guns more in btb and arenas as of late to try and give them a second chance and get to know them more. I appreciate your feedback!

[@Xarvey]

Personally think the disruptor is a bit slept on. It took me a while to realise it's full auto and if you land enough shots the enemy dies of tick damage. Also the EMP is useful too.

[@nicholasgrey5225]

I agree

[@olibarrett4283]

[@commonsensetv4020]

I have to disagree with the Heatwave placement, it's a C-tier weapon at the minimum. Hitting those vertical shots are really satisfying. It can also kill with 1 vertical shot and a melee in cqc.

[@Nikos.]

Then you will love the new tier list I just posted. Fr the heatwave is satisfying and not too shabby

[@asmac96]

Yea the heatwave is def my favorite new weapon

[@fallingloo9930]

Vertical shots are actually pretty good. They’re easier to hit anything with than the horizontal shots, I’ve found.

[@douglaswetak9686]

Yeah, the Heatwave can be quite good (definitely not bias for getting a running riot with it)

[@EvanSolomonBerger]

Heatwave is probably a B or a C. Same with the Hydra.

[@austinhawkins3307]

The main reason I dont like the Bulldog is that when faced against a sword, you've got much less room to get a bulltrue. You have to get TWO full shots on the enemy, at a range where they can already lunge at you. Not a great time.

[@antisimptrooper4635]

It's OK. Just shoot first

[@yahlibar6832]

Shoot and melee, scary as shit but amazing when it works

[@fungus1005]

Whike this is true, there are almost no scenarios where you're going to be going against a sword with a bulldog or vice versa.

[@Handsomeguy-kj2jg]

You can definitely land 2 shots before they are on you as long as they aren’t already hella close. The bulldogs good it’s main purpose isnt just being a direct counter to the sword

I don’t get how nobody understands the cindershots scoped mode lets you control the trajectory of the grenade. You don’t need to aim ahead, just put the reticle on top of ur target and it will move over towards them

I think heatwave is critically underrated. Great vehicle damage, potentially 2 shot, great crowd control due to over penetration and ricochet, and decent range

[@Nikos.]

As much as I disagree, I love the heatwave. I really wish it was more viable, at least in my hands I wish it was more viable XD

[@Galacalactus]

I love the heatwave. I’ve gotten so many great kills with it on midair enemies, or around corners with ricochets.

Cinder Shot is SSS Tier for me, I never had this much fun with a weapon since the H4 Railgun and it's ridiculously good. Also the Hydra without lock on makes its rockets fly faster.

[@shanemerriott5773]

I agree so much it is the best gun in my opinion.

[@zootsalure1164]

Hydra is a 3 shot with direct impacts! Splash damage sucks but direct hits will delete enemies

[@TheJewtarHero]

The hydra is criminally underrated at close range. Just like the mangler, it’s a one shot + one melee kill. Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself! P.s. Don’t use the lock on mode, as the manually fired Hydra missiles fly faster and do more damage.

[@juliocatao]

Oh god the railgun, so good

[@waughy9103]

I agree love the cindershot

[@Spykitty358]

The Assault Rifle is hands down my favourite gun to use in this game. Even in the other Halo Games i would always use it since i always loved it's iconic Design. The Reach version was my favourite of the series until Halo Infinite's version came out. The Battle Rifle has always been a weapon that feels good to use but i never had the best skill with it for some reason. I just tend to miss more of the shots i should be hitting but that's usually do to my inconsistent aiming each match. One match i am good and landing my shots, other matches not so much. But the Skewer is easily the best weapon in the game and the most rewarding and most punishing weapon. Hit your target? then it will instant kill them, vehicles too. If you miss? well hope you can dodge bullets and reload because you'll need to. But we can all agree that we HATE getting daily challenges that involves the Ravager.

[@RELvera]

The heatwave is an A tier for me, because it's all about having different means of dealing damage, I love it because of it's versatility.

[@ellisking13x29]

There’s just so much close and kid range opportunity with the weapon, me and my buddies always prioritize picking it up on oddball in high diamond

[@uyeah1234]

Personally, the cinder shot is S tier. A good user can literally leave you with no counter play with it. It constantly displaces you, fires very quickly, tons of crowd control, and get out of line of sight kills. It's not even that hard to use. Unless a spartan is a vehicle or legit flying, just bouncing it if a wall or ground near them is a guaranteed hit. It also works at mid range so you can avoid and close range weapons. It does everything while having a good mag for a power weapon. I also think the heat wave is a B tier weapon. It melts at close range just as much as the bull dog. Sure the reload is trash but it is better bull dog in every way. All you have to do is use it vertically and lead your shots. Landing one good shot at mid or close range completely melts shields and makes them very weak. The ar, bull dog, needler, all need to either spend more time doing the same amount of damage or be closer. I'm not going to discard how hard it is to aim with it but even hitting half your shots makes it the 2-3rd best close range weapon.

[@Nikos.]

I might need to give the cindyshot another chance, and yes the heatwave has stupid high damage on the verticle mode. Too bad i keep getting killed while I barely land any shots on some occasions. Maybe I'm bad 😂

[@bluefuntimewolfy8416]

Hammer needed to be higher IMO. Sure you lost lunge and it's got a huge windup. But in return, you can hit someone in tumbuktu and kill them. I think it's a fair trade. I love the new hammer. It feels like it should: An area weapon. it was mainly used to go from person to person with lunge, when now, you can just stand in that same group and kill them all with one swing.

[@jonald11]

I agree. It’s about time they made the hammer something other than just a shitty energy sword. The long wind up and extended aoe damage is perfect imo

[@dar5647]

you only kill people on the outside edge of its range if they are already damaged. its a sub par sword.

[@frederalbacon]

@@dar5647 Actually, the power of the hammer being less powerful the farther you are from it is perfectly reasonable. It is a GRAVITY hammer, and thus, the father away you are from it, the less effect it should have on you, just like gravity.

The hydra should be where the bulldog is. It’s more consistent and it does it’s job well where the bulldog doesn’t. Bulldog loses to every other close quarters weapon and will lose to melee if you don’t get the rare two shot. Hydra smokes vehicles which is why it was made

[@wraskob]

[@manicmaniac4999]

The great thing about the pulse carbine is that it's really meant for long range. It locks on HARD, it's mostly meant to be used as a weapon you can take a peek take a shot and return to cover. Meant mostly for suppressing long range. Guaranteed kill for four shots sure but I mean this gun feels like it's best to be used with someone who uses kinetic ammo type.

[@dar5647]

yeah but it has a super slow projectile and is only good if they are in the range where your reticle turns red. its not a long range weapon, its only good at the tail end of medium range. thats only IF your target isnt peaking in and out of cover. its extremely niche. it works well if the stars align. i avoid it outside of campaign.

[@FranklinThe1]

Nah it's a dumbed down version of the skewer. The skewer kills a warthog in 1 shot. It takes like 2 or 3 to stun it with the shock rifle. The skewer is a 1 shot kill everywhere. The shock rifle is only a 1 shot to the head and 3 painful shots to the body. The only things it has over the skewer is more ammo and a shocking effect that keeps doing damage.

[@prezp00nage24]

Man sniper rifle will always be the best weapon in the game, you can’t put it below S just because its hard. Each weapon has a skill curve, but a tier list is about %75 power %15 availability %10 skill curve. A tier list is supposed to be “If you master this gun, this is how good it is.” Apply this also to the disruptor, which is easily B tier. Situational gun handling is different than a skill curve, I’ll grant you. i.e. The pulse carbine is a very strong gun but only in certain circumstances. This does not apply to the sniper, it is hard to master but it is absolutely the strongest weapon in the game besides possibly the skewer or rockets.

[@Nikos.]

I'm with you on the sniper, and I destroy with it. I put it on A because I find it slightly disappointing on arena modes with its uncomfortably high first scope zoom level and low ammo reserve. It's god tier in BTB. I still think the disruptor is a bit lame because it comes with no ammo for its damage output and utility. Let me know how to make the disruptor work because I wanna know :D

[@prezp00nage24]

Disruptor is not a perfect weapon by any means and it doesn’t work effectively in all scenarios but its ranged ability is overlooked. Since it can apply DOT, its kill ability at longer ranges increases. Combine it with the ability to EMP Banshees and Wasps in particular and it becomes a weapon with a lot more utility. Use it like it is a covenant carbine from previous games and I think you’ll see it move up to somewhere between B-C tier. Despite the gun looking like a pistol, it does not shine in close range combat.

[@prezp00nage24]

Disruptor is certainly better than Ravager and Hydra at the very least.

Power weapons and standard weapons need separate tier lists really cause the balancing is different between them. A standard weapon isn't meant to compete with a power weapon, thus the power weapons will generally always take the top slots and provide info that isn't necessarily accurate. same goes for grenades and equipment.

@@DerpEpicFace32onXbox Not sure what Halos you've been playing, but the BR's of past halos work way differently than this one. Before, the recoil came AFTER the burst. Now, each of the three bullets creates its own recoil, makes it much harder to land a solid burst on the head at longer ranges. Also, respectfully, go fuck yourself.

After the gravity hammer buff, you definitely need to redo this tier list

[@leoseaton8842]

Try using the hydra without lock-on with enough skill you can take out enemies asap. Use the lock-on for wasps and other vehicles.

Did this guy just say “it’s the most powerful plasma pistol ever” 7:40 I’m sorry my guy I’m gonna have to disagree with you on this one

[@treefr0gs]

If you’re using the pulse carbine close range you’re doing it so wrong it’s amazing at mid range but really only mid range. If you need to pinch a spawn it’s perfect because you can absolutely melt. But only at mid

[@Nikos.]

Ive pulled off some wacky kills at mid range with this thing. Not the best at close or long range at all tho

[@nunyabiz7362]

I've found that if you're at close range, you can lead your shots with the carbine to hit more of your shots but it's still pretty bad at close range

[@Slender_Man_186]

Still a terrible successor to the Plasma Rifle, at least the Stalker Rifle is basically a CE Magnum roleplaying as a Covenant Carbine.

[@sammyboy8102]

Sidekick is more than a "job finisher". You can very easily outdamage the AR at practically any range with it. I don't see any reason to use the AR over the Sidekick.

[@Nikos.]

They both slap imo. Both are a perfect pair for eachother

[@sammyboy8102]

@@Nikos. AR is definitely good, it's not just trash to get rid of anymore. I just think the Sidekick overshadows it a little bit. I wouldn't be surprised if it got nerfed to take 1 or 2 more shots to drop shields.

[@cjk_02221]

The bulldog FUCKS in a good situation, i just dont think its that reliable. Also commando kinda feels like a worse BR. It just doesnt compete Also with movement and abilities the gravity hammer is amazing especially in groups, i really like it.

[@Nikos.]

Agreed on all. The Commando is close but not as capable and multi purpose as the BR, that's why BR is at A and Commando is at C (I just think the commando is a damn fine gun that is nearly a B from my use of it). The bulldog is also unreliable here and there, but it fucks in arena for sure. The hammer is great in groups and other specific uses, such as vehicle bashing, but it just has too many drawbacks to be better than a C.

[@FranklinThe1]

@@Nikos. Commando is F tier for me. Just to inconsistent and is beat by litterally every gun in the game.

[@Billy69699]

nice tier list and also love the minecraft music in the background

[@GreenHunter03]

You know, I guess my perspective on the guns are drastically different because this is my first Halo. Like the plasma rifle is a B+, the Shock Rifle is an A+, and the Sodekick is a B as well. However, I agree with the Ravenger and Disrupter. The plasma pistol needs to go in F--- Tier. I HATE that gun,

[@dsdy1205]

That last one is especially sad, considering how goated the Plasma Pistol was in every classic Halo

[@RealCherrry]

he sounds like dream if he played halo and never wheezed

[@user-rn2px5rp3g]

The disruptor is pretty good, you only need to hit 6 shots and the enemy dies to the electricity damage

[@LoneWolf-vu6qy]

Was gonna say this.

[@Djolej78]

[@curtispayton6163]

Agree with ur s tiers but I think the gravity hammer the best most balanced hammer ever. The slow wind up is because the huge area of impact it can cause. Gotten double and triple kills with 1 swing. Definitely s tier, especially in fiesta. Disruptor, as you've been told, is way better than ppl think. U actually only need 6 shots to kill because dot will kill them eventually. Ravager is definitely F tier. What do that weapon supposed to be for lol? And mauler is my favorite cqc weapon outside of sword and hammer. This may be the best sandbox ever because every weapon can be or is great.

[@Nikos.]

Good points. I love this sandbox. Even if I don't particularly like a gun or find it great in 1v1 fights, it still has an interesting use and I'll still pick it up in some situations.

[@planetzdr]

I slept on the bulldog for a bit, but now realize it’s a monster of a weapon

[@Empire_JeSzO]

Of course the skewer is top tier for mnk players, but if your not using the vert fire on the heatwave your doing it wrong. Bump that bad boi up

[@Nikos.]

Horizontal fire is nearly useless 😂. I rarely ever try using it.

[@Nothing_happening_here_go_away]

Disruptor and Hydra are the Best guns ever

[@ImagineBaggins]

I personally think the Disruptor, the Ravager, and the Sentinel beam are the strongest guns in the game. Also, I am just kidding. Fuck those guns.

[@2hot34]

Disruptor is a utility weapon and when treated as such it preforms but it’s lethality could use a buff like impact damage

Ok so i havent really used a grav ham since reach, never cared for them in warzone and cant remember halo 4 much but this grav hammer feels crazy powerful

[@Nikos.]

It is powerful, but I die with it so often while mid swing it just doesn't compete in many situations. The best use for it that I've seen is ambushing vehicles from behind a rock or something.

[@221Prohunter]

The bulldog is only good on controller imo, it’s borderline unusable with M&K. That actually applies to a lot of guns in this game now that I think about it. And I would put the Pulse Carbine at F tier lol, the thing is basically entirely useless if you ask me. If they strafe at all it just misses.

[@Nikos.]

Yeah the carbine is really bad on one on one engagements, it can at least kill in several encounters tho so I put it in D. I play on mouse and keyboard and find the bulldog to be godly, at least now after plenty of hours to get the sensitivity down

I feel like this list would vary depending on if you're playing multiplayer or campaign. in the campaign the cinder shot absolutely destroys enemies because most of the time they're all clustered together and standing around explosives, this weapon creates absolute mayhem. The shotgun is also super effective in the campaign.

[@dannymartial7997]

Ironic how among all the futuristic weaponry, the one that launches a giant spike is the best, according to 343 😂
