'''Special weapons''' are variant weapons that can be unlocked in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' by performing various tasks. They can be broadly divided into two categories; boss and firebase weapons - alien weapons acquired by defeating [[High Value Target]]s and [[human]] weapons that can be unlocked by acquiring [[Valor]] and requisitioning them at [[Forward Operating Base]]s.

Outside of their campaign use, special weapons can be used in the game's multiplayer as part of [[custom game]] settings and [[Forge/Halo Infinite|Forge]] placement.{{Ref/Site|Id=Support|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/6882880281364-Halo-Infinite-Weapon-Equipment-and-Vehicle-Inventory-|Site=Halo Support|Page=Halo Infinite Weapon, Equipment, and Vehicle Inventory|D=05|M=05|Y=2023}}

==Boss weapons==
Special [[Banished]] and [[Forerunner]] weapons can be acquired by defeating [[High Value Target]]s and bosses during the campaign. The sole exception is the [[M41 Tracker]], a [[human]] rocket launcher wielded by one of the bosses.

Most boss weapons can be spawned at a Forward Operating Base once their respective boss is killed.
