The Stalker Rifle in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' is a semi-automatic directed-energy weapon that serves as a hybrid between the {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}} and the {{Pattern|Sulok|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 Sniper]]s, though [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] may also pick up nearby unused or dropped stalker rifles. | The Stalker Rifle in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' is a semi-automatic directed-energy weapon that serves as a hybrid between the {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}} and the {{Pattern|Sulok|beam rifle}}.
