Halo Infinite features a vast arsenal of weapons for the player to use. Many of these are returning weapons from previous Halo games, while others are brand new. However, there are also some hidden weapons that players cannot normally access.
These are hidden alternate or variant weapons. These are based on an existing weapon but have a different name and alternate color. You can tell these weapons by the default white skin they have. Here are all alternate/variant weapons and how to get them in Halo Infinite.
