On 5th November, gamers of Halo Infinite will get a new gun called the MA5K Avenger. Alongside the new weapon is the upcoming Operation: Great Journey update for Halo Infinite.

Halo Infinite, a popular first-person shooter game by developer Halo Studios (previously known as 343 Industries), was first released on 8th December, 2021. The game's material has been periodically updated over the past few years, keeping both new and returning players interested. Next week, another such update will be released, bringing a variety of new features to the sci-fi game, from gear to gameplay dynamics. Speaking of new things, it appears that the Halo Infinite developers have finally unveiled the brand-new weapon they have been hinting at.

The best-selling Halo novel adaption, Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, included the MA5K Avenger, which will be added to Halo Infinite on 5th November as part of the Winter 2024 update. This fully automatic rifle is said to have a rapid rate of fire, a large magazine, and fast reload times. The cannon is also appropriate for fighting at close quarters. In the game, the MA5K Avenger will be accessible through SMG-class weapon racks beginning with the Operation: Great Journey content drop. It will also be the first weapon in the future Delta Arena playlist and the second weapon in certain instances of the Firefight mode. 

Following some conjecture, it has been disclosed that the MA5K Avenger will be a major feature of the upcoming content release. Fans might be thrilled about a lot of other things than this new rifle. This contains several new Forge features, the ability to select the third-person viewpoint in Halo Infinite's Firefight mode, and a playlist reminiscent of Halo 2 with support for legacy movements. To balance the player experience, adjustments are also planned for a number of additional weapons and equipment, including the MK50 Sidekick, Thruster, Active Camo, and VK78 Commando.

With two distinct project types making the rounds, Halo fans are wondering what the future holds as Halo Infinite celebrates its third anniversary in December. Although there are rumors that a Halo: Combat Evolved remake is being developed, Halo Studios' job postings have essentially verified that Halo 7 is under development. In light of this, fans may find the upcoming years to be quite fascinating as these reported projects take on their final forms and, ideally, get closer to being formally revealed.
