Gameplay[edit]

Halo Infinite[edit]

The Stalker Rifle is a semi-auto directed-energy weapon that serves as a hybrid between the Vostu-pattern carbine and the Beam Rifle. It is capable of venting, but if fired 7 times in a row without waiting, the Stalker Rifle will overheat. It is capable of killing a Spartan in 3 headshots in multiplayer. In the campaign, the Stalker Rifle is wielded exclusively by Kig-Yar Snipers, though if it dies, the weapon can be picked up by Sangheili and Jiralhanae.

Variants[edit]

Stalker Rifle Ultra: An improved version of the stalker rifle with a faster firing rate. It can be fired 12 times before needing to vent.

Production notes[edit]

The stalker rifle was first revealed as a weapon included in with the Kig-Yar Sniper figure in the Halo Infinite line.^[2] Certain aspects of its design bear a resemblance to components of the Gadulo-pattern needle rifle.
