*'''[[Unbound Plasma Pistol]]''': A modified variant of the plasma pistol with a white chassis that fires faster, stronger bolts that have a homing ability. In addition, it's scaled burst fires six bolts instead of a single overcharge bolt; the bolts detonate in a "supercombine" explosion if they hit the same target.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Forge - [[Unbound Plasma Pistol]] description|Quote=Bolts detonate when super-combined on target; over-charge increases detonation and tracking.}}

==Production notes==
==Production notes==
The description for the plasma pistol in [[Forge]] erroneously states that the weapon's overcharged burst can disable vehicles via an electromagnetic pulse.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} While this was true for the plasma pistol between ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', this ability was removed in ''Halo Infinite''.{{Ref/Reuse|hinf}}{{Ref/Reuse|Support}}
At release, an overcharged burst from the plasma pistol in ''Halo Infinite'' was incapable of disabling vehicles via an electromagnetic pulse. Despite that, upon the release of [[Forge]], the Forge description for the plasma pistol erroneously stated that the weapon's overcharged burst retained this feature.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} With the release of [[Content Update 32]] on April 30, 2024, the EMP functionality was restored on the weapon.{{Ref/Site|Id=sandbox|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/banished-honor-sandbox|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sandbox Overview <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite CU32|D=25|M=04|Y=2024}}
