While Halo Infinite players wait patiently for the campaign to be released, they are continuing to come to grips with the game’s multiplayer. In online matches, there are several different spots where players can pick up power items and activate their special perks to gain an edge. In a tribute to Halo Infinite’s Grappleshot, one player showed off an impressive highlight with the item.
Halo Infinite’s multiplayer launched last month and brings back some memorable features from previous game’s multiplayer modes. The Grappleshot and its grappling hooks is a new addition to the series, however, and the gadget allows players to hook onto structures and enemies and pull themselves toward them.
This short clip comes from Halo Infinite's Capture The Flag mode and shows Redditor u/BossHawgKing taking full advantage of the three shots they get with the Grappleshot. In the first use of this power item, this player attaches to a huge boulder and flies across a narrow portion of the map, getting right up close to an enemy to melee their way to their first kill. The second use is on an oncoming enemy Warthog, as the player latches on with the grappling hook, pulls themself into the passenger seat, and then kills the driver. The final and most impressive use of the Grappleshot comes just as u/BossHawgKing drives the Warthog off a cliff with the enemy gunner still onboard. They connect themselves to the cliffside just in time to save themselves, leaving the enemy to fall to their death.
Power items in Halo Infinite can be incredibly useful during matches and, when used like this, the grappling hook can turn the tide of battle. Though it is relatively easy to acquire and use, getting to this level of skill with the item would likely take quite a long time. Either way, for those players looking to get a Grappleshot in a match, they need only check the item's spawn points or listen to narrator announcements.
Though replicating this clip would be quite the challenge, the Grappleshot still gives players an almost immediate advantage over those who don't have one. The power item makes escape much easier and opens new ways to approach combat. Then again, items like Active Camo and Overshield can lead to even more options and much better odds in close-quarters combat. The other power items can be even more helpful on certain multiplayer maps in Halo Infinite, too. Either way, players have a new clip to admire thanks to this showing by u/BossHawgKing.
The mulitplayer beta for Halo Infinite is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game fully releases on December 8th, 2021.
