Weapon Classes

Main article: Weapon class

Weapon classes are the means by which the Halo video games group together different weapons with similar animations. First introduced in Halo 2, a similar system appeared in Halo: CE called weapon labels except every weapon counted as its own label. Characters can only hold weapons belonging to weapon classes that are supported by their own set of third person character animations. As such grunts can carry pistols and launchers but not rifles, marines can carry rifles but not support weapons, and so on.
Halo Infinite formalized weapons classes as information presented to the player through the use of the game's user interface. In this context the use of weapon classes describes the intended role of a weapon, combining its appearance with its functionality.

"Particularly useful against delicate equipment—like brains."

— Halo: Reach manual description

In the context of the Halo games, a precision weapon is any weapon which is capable of inflicting a headshot upon an enemy. Save for certain boss enemies such as Hunters and the Warden Eternal, scoring a headshot on an unshielded enemy with a precision weapon will instantly kill them, regardless of how much health they had remaining.
