Skewer

Learn how to effectively use the Skewer in Halo Infinite. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and best pairings for dominating long-range combat and taking down vehicles.

Alright, let's talk about the Skewer in Halo Infinite. This thing is a beast, but it's definitely got a learning curve. Think of it as your long-range, heavy-hitter weapon. It's a Power Weapon, meaning you'll find it on specific maps like Highpower, not just lying around everywhere. It fires a massive spike that ignores enemy shields and can instantly take down Spartans. Pretty cool, right? But here's the catch: it's a 'hit or miss' weapon. You gotta be precise with it, or you'll be in trouble.

Stats & Overview:

• Type: Sniper Rifle
• Magazine: 1
• Ammunition Type: Spikes
• Scope: 2x
• Alt Fire: N/A

Strengths:

• This is a fantastic secondary weapon. You'll want to pair it with something like the CQS48 Bulldog (Shotgun) to handle enemies who get too close.
• It absolutely shines on larger maps like Behemoth and Highpower. You get more time to line up your shots, especially when the enemy team is busy with other things.
• Need to take down a Wasp or Ghost? The Skewer can instantly destroy vehicles. Save a spike or two for those flying threats in Big Team Battle!

Weaknesses:

• The biggest downside is what happens when you miss. It takes a few seconds to reload, and during that time, you're super vulnerable.
• You only get four shots per pickup. Make 'em count! If you're accurate, it feels overpowered, but that accuracy is key.
• Again, pairing it with a close-quarters weapon like the Bulldog is almost essential to cover your bases.
