The Stalker Rifle Ultra is a variant of the used by the Banished.

Design details
The Ultra variant of the Stalker Rifle bears the white nanolaminate plating consistent with the Evocati (or, eponymously, "Ultra") orders of the Covenant and Banished. Unlike the standard stalker rifle, it has a higher rate-of-fire and a lower buildup of heat within the weapon, alongside higher damage dealt by the plasma bolt.

Usage
One such weapon was used by Arch Khordat Barroth, a Kig-Yar sniper in the Banished during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560. During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.

Halo Infinite
In campaign, the Stalker Rifle Ultra is awarded to the player after defeating the High Value Target, Barroth. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base. It exhibits higher damage and a higher-rate of fire than the standard weapon, alongside slower heat buildup, allowing the weapon to fire 12 or 13 bolts in quick succession (instead of 7 bolts) before needing to cool down. Unlike ths standard stalker rifle, the Ultra variant only has one level of magnification at approximately 1.5×.
