The '''Stalker Rifle Ultra''' is a variant of the {{Pattern|Elutuzem|stalker rifle}} used by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|Support}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HI|gameplay}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|Elutuzem-pattern stalker rifle}}
The Ultra variant of the Stalker Rifle bears the white [[nanolaminate]] plating consistent with the [[Evocati]] (or, eponymously, "Ultra") orders of the [[Covenant]] and [[Banished]]. Unlike the standard stalker rifle, it has a higher rate-of-fire and a lower buildup of heat within the weapon, though at the cost of lower damage dealt by the plasma bolt.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}}{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}

===Usage===
One such weapon was used by [[Arch Khordat]] [[Barroth]], a [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|sniper]] in the [[Banished]] during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo|campaign]] on [[Installation 07]] in [[2559]]-[[2560]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Target01|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Barroth}} During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with [[John-117]], though was defeated by the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]].{{Ref/Quest|Id=Hi|HI|Connections|Barroth}}

==In-game information==
In campaign, the Stalker Rifle Ultra is a [[Special weapons (Halo Infinite)|special weapon]] awarded to the player after defeating the [[High Value Target]], [[Barroth]]. The weapon can be acquired at any [[Forward Operating Base]]. It exhibits lower damage (killing a fully-shielded Spartan with 7 bolts instead of 5 bolts) and a higher-rate of fire than the standard weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}}{{Ref/Reuse|Support}} It also has a lower heat buildup, allowing the weapon to fire 12 or 13 bolts in quick succession (instead of 7 bolts) before overheating. Subsequently, the Ultra variant can fire an approximate total of 64 bolts (instead of 32 bolts) at maximum capacity. However, the Ultra variant’s scope only has one level of magnification at approximately 1.5×, instead of being adjustable between 3× and 6×.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}
