Halo Infinite March 19 Update Weapon Adjustments
M392 Bandit AND Evo now have increased reload speed, while the Heatwave has a reduced aim assist range and falloff range. On the other hand, the plasma pistol will have a very fast charge-up time and a faster overheat. The single-shot bail rate will remain largely unchanged with this update, but this will allow the players to take advantage of the charged shot and utilize it effectively. While the stalker rifle has a slower ventilation rate per second, the developers have decreased the number of shots required to overheat the weapon. On the other hand, the VK78 Commando has increased close-range friction, while the bloom on the weapon will be ‘more aggressive than earlier.
