Microsoft has announced its next big update for Halo Infinite, which introduces one of the game’s most absurd and over-the-top guns yet. The Mutilator is a new brute force weapon featuring a double-barrel shotgun with a Gravity Hammer attached to the end of it. Players can shoot one shell at a time or use the alt-fire option to fire two rounds simultaneously. The Gravity Hammer allows players to “devastate” any remaining targets after shooting a shell.
The Mutilator is set to be added to regular Halo Infinite maps as a power weapon, allowing players to wield its destructive capabilities in various game modes, including custom matches and Forge mode. A dedicated game mode called Mutilator Madness will also be introduced, where a team of players faces off against a super-powered player.
The update also includes the 20-tier free Operation Pass and a 50-tier Premium Operation Pass with additional content. The Weapons Bench is getting updated, enabling players to apply various cosmetic options to their guns. Furthermore, the Last Stand update introduces bouncing bullets for select sniper rifles, increasing the game’s overall danger level.
Other changes include nerfed Banshee vehicle stats and updates to the Weapon Bench. Microsoft is also working on new Halo games using Unreal Engine 5, although no official announcements have been made yet. The Mutilator gun will be added to Halo Infinite as part of the Operation: Last Stand update on May 6.
