The '''Legendary variant weapons''',{{Ref/Game|Id=forge|HINF|Weapon Pad - Object Properties option}}  or '''Legendary weapons variant''',{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/sandbox-update-halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sandbox Update - Halo Infinite|D=25|M=7|Y=2024}} are weapons that can be unlocked in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' by performing various tasks.
'''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 weapons, which are alien weapons acquired by defeating [[High Value Target]]s, and [[human]] weapons, which can be unlocked by acquiring [[Valor]] and requisitioning them at [[Forward Operating Base]]s. Special weapons of [[Banished]] and [[Forerunner]] origin can be distinguished by their white or silver painted appearance, while human special weapons can be distinguished by their black colouration with yellow stripes and trim.
 
==Overview==
===Campaign===
In campaign, Legendary variant weapons can be broadly divided into two categories: boss weapons, which are alien weapons acquired by defeating [[High Value Target]]s, and [[human]] weapons, which can be unlocked by acquiring [[Valor]] and requisitioning them at [[Forward Operating Base]]s. Legendary variant weapons of [[Banished]] and [[Forerunner]] origin can be distinguished by their white or silver painted appearance, while human Legendary variant weapons can be distinguished by their black colouration with yellow stripes and trim.  
 
Some of the Legendary variant weapons are featured in ''[[Armory Infinitum]]'', a series of flash fiction hosted on [[Halo Waypoint]]'s regular [[Canon Fodder]] blog posts.
 
===Multiplayer===
Outside of their campaign use, Legendary variant weapons are available in the game's multiplayer. In matchmaking, they are typically available in Big Team Heavy, [[Slayer|Super Escalation Slayer]] and [[Fiesta|Super Fiesta]] game modes.{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|1653870907222290434|Halo|Quote=Level up weapons on your way to victory 👊 Super Escalation Slayer is now available in New BTB Unlimited! #HaloEchoesWithin|D=22|M=5|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/may-update-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=May Update Preview|D=22|M=5|Y=2023}} Some Legendary variant weapons are featured prominently on specific maps; all may spawn in the locked vaults in the [[Big Team Battle]] multiplayer map [[Fragmentation]], the ''[[Diminisher of Hope]]'' is available on [[Scarr]],{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-4|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Season 4|D=15|M=6|Y=2023}} and the [[Pinpoint Needler]] is the central [[power weapon]] on [[Prism]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Season 5|D=12|M=10|Y=2023}}  All Legendary variant weapons are available 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}}
