Halo Infinite may be adding the DMR soon. The DMR is one of the most beloved guns across the Halo series, as it was a single-shot rifle introduced in Halo: Reach that did loads of damage. It was a big favorite for pulling off headshots in PvP, but was also incredibly valuable against covenant enemies like grunts. The gun continued to appear in future games like Halo 4 and Halo 5, but was noticeably absent from Halo Infinite. The latest Halo game introduced a number of new weapons, made tweaks to existing ones, but many have been hoping to see the DMR appear in the game at some point. Roughly 7 months after release, it seems like 343 Industries is gearing up to finally add it into the game.
Leaked Halo Infinite voice lines for the Iratus personal AI mentions a bandit rifle. New weapon coming soon?! Also bandit is a term to describe enemies of unknown classification in Halo. Credit to lxHavok_337 #HaloInfinite #HaloInfinite #Xbox pic.twitter.com/5T5aTqm2LL
The DMR was spotted in the Academy game mode. This area was shortly accessible by going into the academy in offline mode. Photo by: @halodotapi pic.twitter.com/ACJFlsaIpx
