After waiting over 6 years, fans have finally been able to jump into multiplayer matches inHalo Infiniteon Xbox consoles and PC. As the latest installment in the series, thedevelopers at 343 Industrieshave introduced several new features to keep the gameplay exciting for players. Among these added features is equipment that can be picked up around multiplayer maps, such as the Repulsor.
TheRepulsor allows players to launch objects, including enemy Spartans, and deflect projectiles. In addition, players can use the equipment to repulse themselves high into the air to access hard-to-reach areas of maps.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as EchoMasaru shared a highlight from a recent game ofHalo Infinite. During a Slayer game on the Launch Site map, the Reddit user had a chance to display the utility of the Repulsor equipment. The video started with the player running up a ramp and onto a large overhanging platform. After a few moments, they jumped down and straight into the path of a charging Spartan holding a Gravity Hammer.
Typically, the situation would seem grim for EchoMasaru, except this time they had something that the hammer-wielding Spartan had not anticipated. As the opponent moved in to deliver a lethal blow, the Reddit user activated their Repulsor. The ensuing blast from the equipment sent the enemy flying backward. However, what happened next was unexpected. Just as the opposing Spartan landed on the ground, an ally Warthog entered the screen. Before the enemy could react, the vehicle hit the Spartan, resulting in a splatter kill.
Since posting this hilarious clip of the perfectly-timed Repulsor play, numerous members of theHalo Infinitecommunity on Reddit have taken notice. With over 7,500 upvotes in less than a day, many were caught off guard by the ending of the video. After watching the clip, some noted that the Repulsor was their favorite equipment in the multiplayer, commenting that it was very effective at counteringthe close-range Energy Swordand Gravity Hammer. In addition, others joked about the untimely demise of the enemy Spartan. “This is why we are told at a young age to look both ways before crossing a road to gravity hammer someone,” one person quipped.
It’s often exciting to see gamers post some of their best highlights fromHalo Infinite. Besides this Repulsor clip from EchoMasaru, another fan recently shared avideo of an awkward sword fightthey had while playing Super Fiesta. Time will tell what other clips are captured by talented fans in the coming days.
