Gameplay

Halo Infinite

The Stalker Rifle is a semi-auto directed-energy weapon that serves as a hybrid between the Covenant Carbine and the Beam Rifle. It is capable of venting, but if fired 7 times in a row without waiting, the Stalker Rifle will overheat. It is capable of killing a Spartan in 3 headshots in multiplayer. In the campaign, the Stalker Rifle is wielded exclusively by Kig-Yar Snipers, though if it dies, the weapon can be picked up by Sangheili and Jiralhanae.

Variants

  • Stalker Rifle Ultra: An improved version of the stalker rifle with a faster firing rate. It can be fired 12 times before needing to vent.

Production notes

The stalker rifle was first revealed as a weapon included in with the Kig-Yar Sniper figure in the Halo Infinite line.[2] Certain aspects of its design bear a resemblance to components of the Needle Rifle.
