VK78 Commando

Learn how to effectively use the VK78 Commando in Halo Infinite. Master its recoil, strengths, and weaknesses for medium to long-range combat.

Alright, let's talk about the VK78 Commando in Halo Infinite. This rifle is a bit of a unique beast, sitting somewhere between the MA40 AR and the BR75 Precision Rifle. It's got a decent rate of fire, but don't let that fool you – it's got some serious kick to it, more than either of those other two. Plus, with only 20 bullets in the mag, you really gotta make every shot count.

Strengths:

• The VK78 shines at medium to long range, especially with its scope. If you can get a handle on that recoil, you can actually take down a bunch of enemies with a single magazine, particularly if they're already hurt from grenades or other attacks. It feels super satisfying to land those long-range shots once you get the hang of it.
• Even though it's best at mid to long range, it's still pretty effective up close if you need it to be.

Weaknesses:

• The biggest downside is that smaller 20-round magazine. If your aim isn't spot on, or your target is moving a lot, you'll definitely wish you had a few more bullets before needing to reload. Rifles with bigger mags are way more forgiving in those situations.
• Because of the recoil and smaller mag, this weapon really demands a higher skill level to use effectively most of the time.
