The Halo Infinite patch for March also adds a slew of changes to the game’s well-known Forge mode and changes the map playlist to the Squad Battle mode.

Most likely, the game will also feature a list of new content additions, which are slated to be revealed at a later date when the patch goes live. A plethora of bug and crash fixes have been deployed in the March 19 update thanks to advancements within the game’s telemetry and more.

Halo Infinite March 19 Update Weapon Adjustments

M392 Bandit and Evo now have increased reload speed, while the Heatwave has a reduced aim assist range and falloff range. On the other hand, the plasma pistol will have a very fast charge-up time and a faster overheat. The single-shot bail rate will remain largely unchanged with this update, but this will allow the players to take advantage of the charged shot and utilize it effectively. While the stalker rifle has a slower ventilation rate per second, the developers have decreased the number of shots required to overheat the weapon. On the other hand, the VK78 Commando has increased close-range friction, while the bloom on the weapon will be ‘more aggressive than earlier.

There are also a list of balance changes and weapon adjustments in the March 19 update for Halo Infinite, and the rest of them can be viewed by clicking on the full patch notes article here. There are nerfs to the Stalker rifle, as community feedback led the developer to deploy nerfs for the weapon.
