Der Master Chief hat ein neues Update für Halo Infinite in Empfang genommen.
Mit dem Februar-Update widmet sich 343 Industries ersten Balance-Anpassungen für die Sandbox, die man letztes Jahr im November schon angekündigt hatte.
So dauert beispielsweise das Fallenlassen einer Waffe nach dem Update genauso lange wie ein Waffenwechsel.
Es wurde weiterhin die Genauigkeit des Scharfschützengewehrs erhöht, wenn man sich nicht im Zoom befindet. Die Splittergranate hat hingegen einen leicht verringerten Explosionsradius.
Schaut dazu auch in die umfangreichen Patch Notes, in denen alle Anpassungen an Halo Infinite dokumentiert wurden.
“DROP SHOT”
Dropping a weapon and swapping between weapons now takes the same amount of time.
Developer Notes
The Drop Weapon meta was becoming very prominent in competitive play, to the point where nearly every top player was doing it. Many players shared their concerns about it becoming too prominent at the highest level of competition, so we’ve made sure the weapon ready up time after a dropped weapon matches the speed of swapping between weapons normally.
SNIPER RIFLE
The accuracy of the Sniper Rifle has been increased when firing without zooming in.
Developer Notes
Halo Infinite’s S7 Sniper no-scope error angle properties were in line with previous Halo titles, but we’ve seen the requests to make it even more accurate when firing from the hip. When this update lands next week, the sharpshooters out there should notice some improvements when going for kills in which no scope was involved.
Changes:
- Error angle max reduced by 30%
- Error angle minimum reduced by 55%
- Time to reset bloom reduced by 20%
FRAG GRENADE
The explosion radius of the Frag Grenade has been reduced slightly.
Developer Notes
After listening to community input and doing in-house tuning, we’re happy to be rolling out a change that slightly reduces the damage radius on Frag Grenades. The update should help reward skilled Frag Grenade placement while also addressing the concerns around grenade spam effectiveness in gameplay.
Change:
- Radius reduction from 2.7wu to 2.5wu (world units)
WEAPON RACKS
In the Ranked Arena playlist and HCS, each Weapon Rack will now be set to a “Red Rack” state after the weapon is picked up. This means once a weapon is picked up, the Weapon Rack won’t spawn another weapon until the original has despawned or the ammo has been depleted.
Once the original has despawned, the light bar at the top of the Weapon Rack will countdown to the new weapon’s respawn. Reference the table below for each weapon type’s default respawn length in Ranked multiplayer playlists:
| 30 seconds after ammo depletion or expiration | 60 seconds after ammo depletion or expiration |
| Pistols (Disruptor, Plasma Pistol, Mk50 Sidekick) | SMGs (Needler, Sentinel Beam) |
| Assault Rifles (MA40 Assault Rifle) | Shotguns (CQS48 Bulldog, Heatwave) |
| Tactical Rifles (BR75 Battle Rifle, VK78 Commando) | Non-Power Weapon Snipers (Stalker Rifle, Shock Rifle) |
| Non-Power Weapon Launchers (Hydra) |
Developer Notes
We’ve seen the feedback around there being too much power on the map in Ranked Arena, with many players calling out the respawn rate and ammo count on weapons. To help address this, we’ll be updating all Weapon Racks in Ranked Arena to provide only one weapon at a time. We expect this to help reduce the overall power and ensure a more competitive environment. As for ammo reductions on the weapons themselves in Ranked, ranked players should expect those to come for the Heatwave, Stalker Rifle, CQS48 Bulldog, and Shock Rifle with the launch of Season 3.

Die Kampagne von Halo Infinite fand ich super. MP habe ich selber noch nicht gespielt. Aber schön wenn sie noch anpassungen machen. 🙂
Solche Optimierung sind notwendig, das Rankedsystem muss weiterhin verbessert werden. Vor allem betreffend MMR und CSR, das stimmt der Ausgleich nicht.
Beispiel:
3 vs 4 dürfen beim verlierer Team keine Minus CSR geben.
Es ist wirklich krank, wie oft man Matches in einer Unterzahl startet
Weniger Granatenschaden ist gut. Teilweise war man sofort weg, obwohl die Granate weit weg explodiert ist. Warum nicht direkt so.
Freue mich über jede Optimierung und würde mir mehr wünschen. MP Capture the flag kann ich nicht mehr sehen und Festungen kommt in 40 gespielten Spielen vielleicht 1x vor. Und das schon über Monate. Würde auch gern mal Crossplay deaktivieren können, auch wenn ich für ein Match länger warten müsste. Bei der Coop Kampagne ist das Respawnen nach dem Tod auch völlig unnütz. Lieber wie im 5. Teil wenn jemand am Boden liegt muss man diesem aufhelfen.
LOL spielt das noch wer?
Habt ihr schön gegen die Wand gefahren, danke für nichts
Die Köpfe sind gerollt und es wird auf UE gewechselt. Kann nur noch besser werden
Fand eigentlich den Explosionsradius der Granaten schon gering genug 🤷♂️
