Halo Infinite has no shortage of weapons to help your Spartan wreak havoc on the battlefield. But according to a dataminer, the arsenal is set to expand with powerful variants of existing guns.

Halo Infinite Season 1 is well and truly underway, and Spartans have been dropping into the new shooter in their millions. Fans have responded well to the latest entry in the iconic FPS series, with the run and gun action feeling better than ever.

This is partly down to the wide array of weapons at players’ disposal, from the reliable Battle Rifle to the devastating Gravity Hammer.

Now, according to a known Halo dataminer, we might be getting even more additions to the lineup. Similar to Halo 5: Guardians, they appear to be more powerful variants of existing weapons.

The weapon variants were uncovered by dataminer HaloNoticiasMX, who showcased them in a video on Twitter.

In the video, the leaker demonstrated how each new weapon variant fired, after picking them up off the wall. There were five guns in total, all with modifications to make them a different proposition to the original.

Check out all five and the differences from the standard version below.

Halo Infinite leaked weapon variants

  • Convergence Bulldog (Bigger magazine, tighter spread)
  • MA40 Longshot (Smaller magazine, greater zoom)
  • S7 Flexfire (Bigger magazine, less accurate, faster fire rate)
  • Rapidfire Pulse Carbine (Faster rate, smaller magazine)
  • Volatile Skewer (Projectile explodes shortly after impact)

Unfortunately, the leak didn’t specify whether or not these will be the only weapon variants coming to Halo Infinite, or if every gun would get a similar treatment. But fans would no doubt appreciate even more options in combat.

343 Industries are yet to officially confirm these weapons, but with Halo Infinite’s full release coming soon, hopefully, we won’t have too long to wait.
