Special weapons (Halo Infinite)

Special weapons are variant weapons that can be unlocked in the campaign of Halo Infinite by performing various tasks. They can be broadly divided into two categories: boss weapons, which are alien weapons acquired by defeating High Value Targets, and human weapons, which can be unlocked by acquiring Valor and requisitioning them at Forward Operating Bases. Special weapons of Banished and Forerunner origin can be distinguished by their white or silver painted appearance, while human special weapons can be distinguished by their black colouration with yellow stripes and trim.

Outside of their campaign use, special weapons can be used in the game's multiplayer. In matchmaking, they are available in Big Team Heavy, Super Escalation Slayer and Super Fiesta game modes, as well as occasionally being featured in specific maps. They are also available as part of custom game settings and Forge placement.

Boss weapons
Special Banished and Forerunner weapons can be acquired by defeating High Value Targets and bosses during the campaign. The sole exception is the M41 Tracker, a human rocket launcher wielded by one of the bosses.

All boss weapons can be spawned at a Forward Operating Base once their respective boss is killed.

FOB weapons
These human weapons can be requisitioned for use at any Forward Operating Base once the player has earned the requisite amount of Valor points.
