This article is about the weapon introduced in Halo Infinite. For the ancient San'Shyuum weapon, see Pulse rifle.

The pulse carbine is a weapon originally used by the Covenant,^[2] and later by the Banished.^[1]

Overview

History

The pulse carbine was utilized by some Covenant troops during the Battle for Earth.^[2] It was later used by Banished forces on Reach during Operation: WOLFE.^[3] The Banished continued to use the pulse carbine during the Installation 07 conflict.^[1]

Gameplay

Halo Infinite

The Pulse Carbine serves as the hybrid between the Plasma Repeater and the Battle Rifle. The Pulse Carbine fires in five-bolt bursts, which track enemies, and easily strips enemy shields. The projectiles from the Pulse Carbine will travel slowly at first, so the wielder must aim very carefully. If fired continuously, the pulse carbine will overheat, however, the player can vent the rifle before the rifle overheats completely. ^[1] In the campaign, the Pulse Carbine is wielded by Sangheili and Jiralhanae.

Variants

Rapidfire Pulse Carbine: An improved version of the Pulse Carbine with a higher rate of fire and has been painted white.
