The M392 is standard-issue for the [[Gao]] and [[Venezia|Venezian]] militia units. The weapon has [[Sangheili]] markings, which is an indicator of Servine's work to become commonplace in the markets of former [[Covenant]] planets.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Twitter2023}} | |||

====Bandit Evo==== | |||
The '''Bandit Evo''' is a [[weapon variant]] of the Bandit in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. It was released in [[Season 05: Reckoning]]. | |||
The Bandit Evo has a number of changes from the standard M392 Bandit:{{Ref/Reuse|S5Ranked}} | |||
*Higher rate of fire from 3.0 rounds per second to 2.9 rounds per second | |||
*Higher initial number of rounds, from 45 to 60 | |||
*Higher total maximum rounds in reserve, from 60 to 75 | |||
*Eliminated progressive recoil | |||
*Reduced bloom/error angles | |||
*1.4x iron sight magnification replaced by the 1.6x [[Evo Holopoint]] magnification | |||
*Players can be descoped | |||
*Reworked reticle | |||
In multiplayer, when players pick up or spawn with the Bandit Evo, their [[Weapon customization|customization options]] are automatically applied to the weapon model. | |||
Following the introduction of the M392 Bandit into ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' with [[Season 03: Echoes Within]], [[343 Industries]] felt that the weapon required further tweaking in order for it to become a starting weapon in competitive modes. This inspired the creation of the Bandit Evo and the Evo Holopoint sight itself.{{Ref/Reuse|S5Ranked}} | |||
