The '''Legendary variant weapons''' are weapons that can be unlocked in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' by performing various tasks.{{Ref/Game|Id=forge|HINF|Weapon Pad - Object Properties option}} 

In campaign, 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. 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.

Outside of their campaign use, Legendary variant weapons can be used in the game's multiplayer. In matchmaking, they are 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}}

==Boss weapons==
Legendary variant [[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.

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