Halo Infinite Best Multiplayer Tips & Tricks
The more we’ll play, the more we’ll learn, and let me tell you, this Sandbox is brilliantly crafted. Whatever the future holds, we’ll see, as for the present? I have 5 essential tips that’ll help you in Halo Infinite Multiplayer.
Learn the Maps
The weapons and the gunplay have always been great in Halo games but the maps have always been the star of the show. Remember Bloodgulch? Or how about Battle Creek? Guardian? Sword Base? Ascension? The Pit? Lockout? And so many more! All of these maps are beloved and iconic and that’s because both Bungie and 343 Industries understand the importance of map design in Halo.
Halo Infinite brings the franchise back to its roots and the variety and selection of maps here are just “Chef’s kiss”. Play the game organically or launch a solo or two-player game with a friend into any map and try to learn it. This can give you an edge over the competition as you’ll know where weapon and equipment pick-ups are, where the choke points are, where people pile and spread all-out war and what the hiding spots are. With so much to learn and so many maps to choose from, if you take the time to engrave them into your mind then you’ll always have an edge over the other players.
Experiment with all types of weapons and equipment
Just like the maps, weapons are also very important and with so many to choose from it can get hard to pick a favorite. Speaking of favorites, we all have one that we refuse to part ways with. For me, it’s the BR. And yet, that’s not the most optimal way to play the game. Different maps require different weaponry. A sniper won’t do you any good in close quarters but at long range? It’s the go-to gun! The same can be said for shotguns, assault rifles, pistols, and so on. Ideally, having a favorite gun makes sense, but you as a player need to mold yourself like clay, reforming based on the situation.
Halo Infinite has a plethora of weapons to choose from, all unique in their own way. And I am not asking you to master all of them, just learn how they work, the basics so you get the idea and after that, if you get backed against a corner with your favorite weapon nowhere to be found at least you’ll be able to fight back. The same can be said for equipment too and good lord almighty! The equipment is hella creative in this game!
Stick with the team
This one is a no-brainer. While lone wolves are appreciated, the pack always stands tall. There’s not much to dwell on this point other than the fact that you are stronger together. Team shooting is a thing in Halo and having the numbers game is quite advantageous there. The same can be said for vehicles as if you are together, one person can drive the Warthog while the rest of you can dominate the battlefield. And look, getting your life saved when you are about to get clapped or saving someone else’s life just cause you were nearby is a very gratifying feeling.
Master the vehicle game
Big team battle is fun, it can be outrageous and the vehicles are a prominent thing in those game modes. While you can have a favorite weapon, having a favorite vehicle is quite ridiculous and pointless. Think about it, a Mongoose can’t do squat against a tank! Vehicles are fun and they come with both land and air combat capabilities. While the feeling of destroying everyone while inside a tank is very satisfying and malicious, I get it, one must also know how to take down a tank if the tables were turned. That’s why I recommend the same thing I did for maps, weapons, and equipment and ask you to take your time with every single vehicle and at least learn the basics for them. Banshees for the sky and Ghosts for land, both alike.
If you know how to use and counter other vehicles you’ll have an edge over other, more inexperienced players. Dogfighting in the sky can be difficult but if you know how to, then it’s a cakewalk. The same can be said for land battles. Finally, the Halo Infinite Sandbox is quite different than other halo games, you have things like grappling hooks and various ways to EMP vehicles now, so learning and mastering vehicles can go a long way for your multiplayer career.
Take your time, have fun!
Fun isn’t something one considers when having a positive K/D, but this does put a smile on my face. Thanos? That you bro? There’s no need for me or for Thanos to tell you to have fun, but we are gonna anyway! Halo is back after 6 long years and it feels good to play. The combinations and variety that this game shipped with are nuts and the possibilities are endless. While we all love to win and we all love to go on killing sprees, the factor of fun is what keeps us coming back to these, games, and that, to me is the most important thing for any video game.
Don’t focus too much on winning, you’ll get there, just focus on having a jolly good time and explore everything the game has to offer. In time you’ll become a master and your love for the game will increase tenfold. So, make sure to take your time to learn the ropes and have plenty of fun be it with your friends or solo.
