The VK78 is a brutal assault rifle with great accuracy and is able to down any player with just a few shots, as long as they land. The recoil leaves a bit to be desired, but its power alone is enough to put it in the top three weapons of Halo Infinite.
It's a semi-automatic weapon, meaning players have to be quick with the trigger to land consecutive hits. The only thing keeping it from being the best weapon in the game is the fact that it is limited to a pick up.
2) SRS99-S7 AM

This sniper rifle is a staple in Halo. In Halo Infinite, it feels better than ever. Landing one shot to the head is enough to take down an opponent. The classic clip-making weapon feels perfect.
Of course, players will have to wait to pick it up and probably race against their own teammates to get it. If one can get it first, though, they'll have one of the best weapons the franchise has ever seen. Use one in Big Team Battle and players will have plenty of enemies to kill.
1) BR75 Battle Rifle

Nothing can touch the Battle Rifle. Halo Infinite brings back one of the most iconic weapons in gaming history. It works just as it should, with burst fire and insane accuracy.
The fact that ranked matches in Halo Infinite have players start with the Battle Rifle, is the best choice 343 Industries could have ever made. Power weapons are great, but who needs them when you've got one of these at all times?
