Legendary variant weapons: Difference between revisions

'''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. 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.

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.
