5 Intermediate Tips to improve your game in Halo Infinite Multiplayer
Here are 5 more tips to help improve your game on Halo Infinite Multiplayer!
Make yourself harder to hit
Move when you are shooting to make yourself hard to hit. Side-to-side movement, crouching, jumping, and using cover are all your friends. If you’re having trouble tracking while doing this, start with just a side-to-side strafe before adding in some jumps and crouches. If you have a partner you can play with then try to weave in front of each other during firefights to mess with the tracking of other players. You can also combo this behavior with a good grenade to get extremely fast kills.
Understanding Shields VS Health
You may have noticed by now that some weapons can rip through shields but don’t finish people off anywhere near as fast but seem to tear through shields. This is true, in general, plasma weapons are far stronger against shields, whereas projectiles are better once the shields are down. I would recommend checking out my first 5 Beginner Tips for a good overview of each weapon’s effectiveness on shields.
It’s also worth knowing that headshots (that aren’t dealt with an insta-kill weapon such as the sniper) do no additional damage to shields. So you can hit the body until the shields are down, then finish them off by aiming for the head. This way you’ll spend more time aiming for a bigger mass, landing more bullets, and frying your targets as efficiently as possible. You will know when the player’s shields are depleted because of a red electricity that sparks off of their armour.
Slide BoostIng
You can make an even faster getaway by learning how to do the more slide boost technique. To do this you must slide just as you’re hitting the ground from a sprint, easiest to do off of small ledges. Once you’ve mastered this technique you can start using it on the offensive too! Getting around faster means avoiding damage and tracking down targets faster, so it’s worth knowing.
The video below will show how to do the slide boost:
Melee is your superpower
It should be no surprise to you that a hit from an 8ft suit of power armour packs a punch. You can both open or close a fight with a melee as it does huge damage. A single melee will either fully deplete your enemy’s shields, or finish off an enemy with no shields. So if you’re close enough, it’s almost definitely going to do more damage than nearly all weapons. Weapons with blades do slightly more damage than those without too, so keep that in mind!
Grenades are as important as shooting
I’m sure you’ll quickly find out that grenades are also very powerful in Halo, so make sure you’re using every single one that you pick up. If you have a hunch that somebody is hidden in a corner, occupying a room, or approaching you, find out with a grenade. You can also use them to help you escape a sticky situation by throwing one in the doorway you’re running through. Learning how each of the grenades works and how to best use them is also important, so make sure to experiment.
