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)
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.
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
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.
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).
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
So glad you’re covering other games man. You’re my favorite gaming TH-camr. 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!!
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!
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
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
"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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
So far you can get the bull dog on breaker and needler on prism and I was playing firefight multi-player and got a lot of these guns and you forgot the elite blood blade and killer of hope gravity hammer
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

0p
Ultras are the “strongest” elites.
What about the Diminisher of Hope and the Elite Bloodblade?
The pinpoint needler can also lock-on to more than 1 target at once.
True, & sick
Holy shit lol
It’s also in 5th element lmao
Just so y'all know these variants come from the campaign which you earn from defeating bosses
Well, most of them. The UNSC ones you unlock through getting Valor (you can find em on the FOB tab in the menu)
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
I picked up the br75 breacher varient and the s7 sniper varient just exploring no bosses or anything
@@phoenixfireblade1 same! I've been seeing them scattered in super remote areas! I wonder if they were there before you earn them though 🤔
@@mooreyouwant everyone should absolutely play campaign
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.
I had no idea that the regular version killed in 2 with regular fire. Thanks for the info!
The regular also hits vehicles like a truck if you don't lock on.
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!
I liked the REQ mixing, personally
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 those variants are clutch. I wonder if they'll get added into Multiplayer
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).
@@zachrutman1392 thanks brother
Wow! That’s actually really cool! Gonna have to keep an eye out for those on my next playthrough
The alt Heatwave also has strong tracking on its bounces, whereas the regular Heatwave has little to no tracking
I feel like that was an inexcusable detail to leave out. The new tracking is fucked from what I've seen
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
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.
We'll have to wait for forge to find that out
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.
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.
They are in campaign the HVT mission
That disruptor reminds me so much of anarchy in a sidearm is crazy
He even called it arc damage lol
That Breacher BR in campaign would be so fun to use in PvP.
Hey fallout, you forgot to mention that the alternate heatwave projectiles track to enemies after it banks off a wall or floor
Went thru legendary not knowing all these variants existed...that sentinel beam would have made things so much better
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!
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.
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.
I can only see these being used in a Super Fiesta mode(s).
Would love to see these weapons in a special game mode or something, maybe even replace some maybe.
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.
@@shottingham That sounds way more like Halo 3, locking people from matchmaking if they don't buy DLC
I believe the Duelist sword also attacks slightly faster than the normal sword
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.
That needler would make Zorg so proud.
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.
With the Backdraft Cindershot, if you ADS you can also steer the shot as it flys through the air.
You can do that with the regular cindershot
You can 3 shot with the disrupter variant if you wait for the electric explosion to go of before shooting them again
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
You can also find weapon variants in the Campaign. It’s not only in custom games.
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.
the normal skewer one shots wasps, banshees, and I think it one shots ghosts as well
@@sunshot_addict can’t comment on the other ones but it does not 1 shot the ghost
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
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
Love the vid also, the alternate heatwave tracks like crazy on the ricochet shots!
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
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
So glad you’re covering other games man. You’re my favorite gaming TH-camr.

Fun fact you can control the cindershot projectile if you aim and move your camera. (applies to both cindershot and backdraft cindershot)
So glad these variant exists. unless I'm mistaken theyre the art for the weapons used in the weapon drills.
they are actually in the campaign
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
Very cool info on these variant guns in Halo Infinite. Looking forward to the pinpoint needler and rushdown hammer.
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
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.
I’m more hyped for the rush down hammer and duelist energy sword especially. I will terrify the other players with these monsters.
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
"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.

Fun fact or fact: these weapons are on halo infinite campaign
You missed two more melee weapon the diminsher of hope and the elite bloodblade.
You missed that the variant heatwave also has insane tracking after bouncing once
God the volatile skewer's explosion feels so aggressive
Wait, you didn’t try slashing at the same time as another sword user with the duelist? That’d be fun to see.
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.
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.
10:45 so its anarchy: the pistol. Greeeeeat
Infection with alphas and duelist swords would be crazy
The Heatwave Variant Is Called Scatterbound Heatwave
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
Btw this is all from the campaign, after getting valour for the UNSC weapons and after completing HVTs in campaign for the alien guns.
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.
This helped a lot, thanks dude!
They are usable in the campaign. Just thought to make that known.
Yeeees this is exactly what I needed as a new player to infinite 😁 thank u
I found the unbound plasma on the side of a wall in campaign, I'm pretty sure you can just find all of these
They're campaign weapons that bosses drop
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
Imagine using the arcane sentinel beam in pubs 😂
In campaign, the UNSC guns have a cooler white, yellow, black, and gray color scheme/palate.
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?
Does the Backdraft Cindershot still track the crosshair while ADSing?
Heatwave variant tracks enemies on a ricochet basically scattershot 2.0
What song is playing in the background?
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
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.
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.
I kept trying and got skewered 😂 it was nice, but I wish you could get it at FOBs
This is how you know 343 are idiots. They made a long range shotgun. Lol.
I hope these are able to be obtained in the campaign as well
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
I found a Breacher BR somewhere near the Excavation Point before or after killing Bassus
The heatwave’s ricochets towards enemies too
These are all campaign weapons
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.
i imagine these are intended for something like super fiesta where all the guns are buffed
Thanks for telling me that weapon variants were in custom games
I using this video as a "whats what" for halo infinite campaign weapons lol
How do you use them in custom games?
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
I actually got a tracking rocket on a btb map, but when I fired it, it didn't follow the target
Holy shit, awesome! I'm imagining a game mode with all these enabled at once, lol.
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
the..sword..varient...its..my..favorite......is..fukking....cool....love..that.sword.....lunge..at..enemies...from..a..mile..away.....and..the...grappler....makes.it..even..better..
I wonder if those weapon variations will be in the campaign?
Your "hidden" weapons are found in the campaign.
A Star Trek ad on a halo video now that’s funny
yes cañ twàít
Feel like these were the actual guns last year and the leadership that came in was like….”errrr no” haha
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 😂
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
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
Looking forward to the new Rushdown Hammer apes.
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.
Cool video dude
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
So far you can get the bull dog on breaker and needler on prism and I was playing firefight multi-player and got a lot of these guns and you forgot the elite blood blade and killer of hope gravity hammer
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.
They're in the campaign as HVT weapons
What about the final boss weapons? (Campaign)
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
I think you forgot that the variant heatwave will track nearby enemy after a bank shot
Pacing of video was great
