The '''Bandit''' is a | The '''Bandit''' is a [[human]] [[tactical rifle]] and a variant of the [[DMR]]. It is due to be featured in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', and will be added in the upcoming [[Season 03: Echoes Within]] update. It is a [[precision weapon]], designed to feel similar to the [[DMR]] as it appeared in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with the goal of making it more effective at closer ranges.{{Ref/Reuse|InfSept2022Update}} | ||

Originally designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]], the [[M392 DMR]] is a semi-automatic [[rifle]] that first entered service with the [[UNSC Army]] in [[2512]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Waypoint2021|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/dmr|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe, DMR|D=15|M=10|Y=2021|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/dmr.html}} It fires [[7.62x51mm]] rounds that are fed by a detachable box magazine,{{Ref/Book|EVG|Pg=49}} typically holding 15 rounds.{{Ref/Game|HR|weapon: DMR}} The M392 features a raised mounting rail for optics, and is commonly paired with an [[EVOS-D]] [[telescopic sight|optical scope]],{{Ref/Site|Id=Waypoint2013|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/c0dfea7c-87fa-4224-82ff-c44d93b73f03/dmr|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe, M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|D=18|M=2|Y=2013}} though can be used without a sight.{{Ref/Game|HInf|weapon: Bandit}} | |||
The M392 served as a replacement to the older [[M295 DMR]], also manufactured by Misriah,{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Oasis|HFra|Oasis}} and saw widespread adoption across many branches of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC Armed Forces]], including the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army|Army]] and [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]]. It saw action during the late [[Insurrection]] and well into the [[Human-Covenant War]], despite diminished popularity after the introduction of the [[BR55 battle rifle]]. Although its replacement, the [[M395 DMR]], broadly supplanted it, the M392 was still in service with Army and Marine reserve units,{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint2021}} circa [[2558]]. | The M392 served as a replacement to the older [[M295 DMR]], also manufactured by Misriah,{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Oasis|HFra|Oasis}} and saw widespread adoption across many branches of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC Armed Forces]], including the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army|Army]] and [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]].

The Bandit | The Bandit is due to be added to ''Halo Infinite'' as part of Season 03: Echoes Within. Despite this, evidence of its existence was discovered by dataminers several months before its release, and even before its initial unveiling, and footage of it leaked. [[343 Industries]] acknowledged this when first announcing it.{{Ref/Reuse|InfSept2022Update}} | ||
