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.

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.
