5 Beginner Tips to improve your game in Halo Infinite Multiplayer
1. Learn the maps
Learn every little detail of the maps, you’ll find new and interesting ways to get around, but you’ll also know how to quickly save yourself in a dire situation too. It also helps to know where all the weapons spawn. Go into a private match and have a look around the map at what weapons spawn where. You’ll quickly get used to which ones you’re going to need to dominate any given map. In particular, find out where the power weapons spawn, as these will be key to controlling games.
Power weapons are often found in open or hard to defend areas, so once you have them you’ll need to know where the best power positions are on the map. These are usually high points with plenty of cover and good sightlines to other key areas of the map.
Control the power weapons, control the game. This brings me to my next tip.
2. Learn the weapons
Knowing your Battle Rifle from your Plasma Pistol is one thing, knowing you can combine them to make a Noob Combo is another. Once you understand how the weapons work, you can use them together and bring that time to kill right down. Knowing which weapons are going to win you the game goes a long way!
All weapons have their pros and cons, and you should know what they are. There’s no point having the power weapons if you don’t know how to use them.
This video has a great overview of the weapons, what they do and how best to use them:
3. Prioritize your life over chasing kills
TTK (time to kill) is high in HALO is high, use this to your advantage by resetting fights you’re not going to win. Know where your nearest exit to the fight is, make sure you know where the enemy player is and make it hard for them to reach you in time for your shields to refill. And for the love of God, don’t chase somebody through a doorway unless you are close enough to finish them in no more than 1 shot. That one line is going to save you a lot of easily avoidable deaths.
4. Stay with your team
The number 1 way to slaughter your K/D is going to be running straight back into the team that killed you looking for revenge. Even if they are a liability, your teammates can soak up bullets while you pick away at the enemy team. If you’re the liability, they can help keep you alive while you gain the skills you need to conquer your foes! Teamwork makes the dream work!
5. Don’t Ignore your mini-map
The mini-map works like a continuous UAV ping on CoD, and continuously shows 18 meters around you. 18 meters isn’t far, but it’s far enough and will consistently give you vital information, so don’t ignore it! You can even use this info to place pre-emptive grenades and bag yourself some easy kills too.
