In [[2526#February|February 2526]], MA5Ks were utilised by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] during their [[Skirmish over Netherop|mission]] to [[Naval boarding|board]] and capture ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', a [[Covenant frigate]] orbiting [[Netherop]]. During the mission, [[John-117]] ran his MA5K with a [[suppressor]].{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=2}} This use by [[Spartan]] operatives was continued with the [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]], who used the weapon between [[2531]] and [[2552]]—especially during the [[Onyx Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse| | In [[2526#February|February 2526]], MA5Ks were utilised by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] during their [[Skirmish over Netherop|mission]] to [[Naval boarding|board]] and capture ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', a [[Covenant frigate]] orbiting [[Netherop]].

MA5Ks were used in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]]. During the [[Battle of the beacon tower]], [[Robin Dimik]] gave her MA5K, salvaged from the wreckage of one of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s lifeboats, to [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Tomas Horvath]] to use against the defending [[Banished]] forces. However, Dimik only had forty-six rounds left for the weapon and, even with precision shooting to conserve ammo, Horvath ran out of ammunition before the rest of the [[boat crew]] rejoined him, forcing Horvath to switch to scavenged Banished weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|rp35}}{{Ref/Novel|RP|36}} | MA5Ks were used in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]].

The Avenger was designed to fill a role similar to the [[SMG]]s of prior ''Halo'' games (notably ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''). Its inclusion was inspired from the ''Halo 2'' 20th anniversary throwback playlist; when developing the playlist, [[Halo Studios]] noted that ''Infinite'' did not currently have an SMG-equivalent weapon to fully emulate ''Halo 2''{{'}}s gameplay. Due to the lack of [[dual wielding]] in ''Infinite'', the MA5K's balance was based on dual-wielded [[M7 SMG]]s in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and the single-wielded [[M7S SMG]] and [[M20 PDW]] of ''ODST'' and ''Halo 5'', respectively.{{Ref/Reuse|SandboxOverview}} The weapon's visual appearance is a model variation on the preexisting [[MA40 assault rifle]] already in ''Halo Infinite'', with many of the decals removed. Despite the weapon's doubled magazine capacity when compared to the MA40, the two share an identical magazine model and reload animations. | The Avenger was designed to fill a role similar to the [[SMG]]s of prior ''Halo'' games (notably ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'').
