Learn how to rescue the Lancer Squad in Halo Infinite. This guide covers enemy types, recommended weapons, and strategies to free the trapped Marines.

Alright, so you've picked up a distress call from the Lancer Squad in Halo Infinite. This is part of the 'Excavation Site' mission, specifically on the second island, northwest of FOB Charlie. Your main goal is to get to them and help them out.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you get to the Lancer Squad's location, you'll see they're in a bad spot – tied up and surrounded by a mix of Jackals, Grunts, and Elites.
  2. 2
    Your best bet is to hang back initially. Grab a BR75 (Battle Rifle) and focus on picking off the Jackals and Elites from a distance. Their shields can be tough, but the BR is good for precision shots.
  3. 3
    Once the ranged threats are dealt with, switch to a Shotgun. You'll need to move in and clear out the Grunts. They can be a bit of a nuisance up close, especially with their shields.
  4. 4
    Pro-Tip: If you're having trouble with the Grunts' shields, don't worry! You can use the Grappleshot and fire it at them. This will temporarily disrupt their shields, making them easier to deal with.
  5. 5
    After you've cleared out all the enemies, the Marines will be free.
Tips
  • Prioritize taking out the Jackals and Elites first, as they pose the biggest threat from afar.
  • Don't rush in; use cover and pick your shots carefully.
  • The Grappleshot is your best friend for dealing with those pesky Grunt shields if you get stuck.
