Usage
The Impact Commando was employed by UNSC forces during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[2]
In-game information
Halo Infinite
In campaign, the Impact Commando is a special weapon awarded to the player in the Forward Operating Base progression system upon reaching 2,700 Valor. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base. It has an increased magazine size from 20 to 40, with each round dealing more damage (killing a fully-shielded Spartan with 10 rounds instead of 15 rounds), though it has reduced accuracy via greater bloom. The optic magnification is also reduced from 2× to 1.4×.[2]
In multiplayer, when players pick up or spawn with the Impact Commando, their customization options are automatically applied to the weapon model, and the unique appearance of the Impact Commando is lost.
