Halo might have been around since 2001 but it's still just as popular now as it ever was, especially with the release of Halo Infinite's multiplayer for free allowing new players to try out the franchise without needing to spend anything. But whether multiplayer is your thing or you're more invested in the story of Master Chief, one thing is for sure - you're going to get to play with a lot of weapons.
But with so many options available in the latest entries to the series, knowing which weapons to pick for your loadouts can be a difficult task, particularly when you're new. So this list is here to show you some of the best weapon combos possible - just remember that you're still going to need the skill to go with them if you want to reach the top of the leaderboards.
10 💎 Assault Rifle +ꦜ Magnum
It's the combination that every Halo game will give you by default, but that doesn't mean the Assault Rifle and Magnum aren't an effective combination. With a rapid-fire main weapon to rip apart enemy shields and a sidearm that is as powerful as it is precise to finish off those unshielded opponents, it's hard to argue with the effectiveness of this classic combination.
It might not be the most powerful combo in th❀e game, but in the right hands and some careful strategy, this combo is as effective in multiplayer scenarios as it is in the campaign against those tricky shielded Elites.
9 Plasma Rifle + Magnum ♈
A variation on the Assault Rifle and Magnum combo, the Plasma Rifle and Magnum combo is incredibly effective for all the same reasons. However, where this particular combination of weapons stands ouไt is inᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Halo 2 where there Brute Plasma Rifle can be used.
This variant is supremely effective against any shield, mea🌺ning you can quickly switch to your sidearm for an easy headshot. And even outside of Halo 2, the standard plasma rifle still packs enough of a punch to take down you꧋r opponents without too much trouble.
8 Battle Rifle + Assault Rifle 💧

The standard UNSC weapons offer the most balanced performance of any weapons in the♍ Halo series, which is exactly why 🦂the Battle Rifle and Assault Rifle make for such an effective combo. The three-round burst Battle Rifle is capable of headshotting opponents at any range, near or far, while the full-auto Assault Rifle is there to pack a punch at close and medium ranges.
This means you can handle any situation apart from vehicles coming charging towards you. But with liberal use of grenades, you'll be more than able to make up for that deficit without sacrificing any versatility.
7 ♛ Shotgun + Energy Sword
This classic combination is a staple of closed-off multiplayer maps where there aren't any vehicles available. And if you ever played Halo: Reach's Zombies mode, then you'll be more than familiar with the Shotgun and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Energy Sword as weapons, not to mention knowing how effective t▨hey can be in c🐈lose quarters.
It's also a mighty combination when you can get a hold of it in the campaign as both of these weapons will make short work of even the toughest opponents Halo is able to throw at you.
6 Assault Rifle + Gravity Hammer ﷺ 𓂃
The Assault Rifle and Gravity Hammer might be a slightly more unconventional combination but there's no denying that it is an effective one. With the Assault Rifle capable of keeping you in the fight while you advance towards your opponents, you actually stand a chance of getting close enough to use the Gravity Hammer, regardless of the size of the map.
And once you're up close, the area of effect damage of the Gravity Hammer makes it one of the most lethal close-quarters weapons in the entire series. Just keep an eye out for opponents wielding them unless you're ready for an impromptu match of Grifball.
5 Shotgun + Battle Rifle 🍷

The Shotgun and Battle Rifle combination is a combo for the indecisive player, someone who understands that ranged combat has its benefits but who can't resist charging into the thick of things when they see the opportunity. Fortunately, the Battle Rifle is effective at all ranges and so can keep you in the fight even when enemies are outside of the Shotgun's effective range.
Use that Battle Rifle to cover your advance though and you'll soon find yourself in a position to use that shotgun for some one-shot kills on everything you can reach, assuming you aren't shooting a Hunter with it anyway.
4 ෴Battle Rifle + Energy Sword
Similar to the previous combo on this list, the Energy Sword is actually a more effective companion to the Battle Rifle than it may first appear. With the Battle Rifle's powerful three-shot burst able of dropping opponents in just a few pulls of the trigger, you'll be able to take down enemies at any distance.
Then with the sword, anyone who sneaks up on you won't stand a chance thanks to its one-hit kill lunge. And it means you're free to charge into the fray to score some kills when you get bored of headshotting your enemies from a distance.
3 Rocket Launcher + Sniper 🅠Rifle

The powerhouse combination of the Rocket Launcher and Sniper Rifle is as deadly as it is short-lived. With both of these weapons capable of dropping the toughest enemies in the series within a couple of shots, it's no wonder they make for an unstoppable combination when they are put together.
The downside to being some of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:most powerful weapons in Halo means they have minimal ammunition so you'll need to stay aware of your ammo count and know when to leave this combination of weapons behind in favor of something less effective but longer-lasting.
2 🧔 Battle Ri𒉰fle + Sniper Rifle
The Battle Rifle is arguably the most balanced ranged weapon in the whole of the Halo series, so when it is paired with the most powerful ranged weapon in the series - the Sniper Rifle - it makes for a lethal ranged combination. So if you're looking for a way to strike from a distance, this is the combo for you.
The Sniper Rifle has limited ammo to make those one-shot kills with, so having the high-ammo Battle Rifle to back you up when you're fighting at medium range makes for an effective combination that balances out the ammo issues of a Sniper Rifle centric loadout.
1 🥀 Plasma Pistol + Mag🧜num
The classic Noob Combo, the Plasma Pistol works with any precision weapon, but the speed with which you can draw the Magnum in any Halo game makes it the best option there is. The reason this is such a powerful combo comes down to the Plasma Pistol's ability to fire a charged shot that completely disables enemy shields and in most games, it'll EMP vehicles too.
So if you can fire off an EMP at an opponent then switch to the magnum to follow up with a precise headshot that brings them down with just two shots. This even works against enemies in multiplayer if you can pull it off, meaning the Plasma Pistol is still a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:great weapon in Halo Infinite.
