During the latest MYNO Halo Infinite Invitational eSports event, a Halo Infinite player found a novel use for the new Repulsor tool, and even the play-by-play commentators were taken aback. While the story campaign of Halo Infinite wasn’t published until December 8, developer 343 Industries gave gamers a possibility to try out the new game by making Halo Infinite’s multiplayer components free-to-play in November. Within hours after its debut, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer shattered Xbox records for the most concurrent users. Apart from certain reservations regarding Halo Infinite’s microtransaction system, initial comments on the game have been good.
Players rapidly reacted to Master Chief’s new gear in Halo Infinite, with videos of users using the new Grappleshot to swing across a level or just avoiding defeat by ziplining out of a hazard going viral. The Repulsor is also proving to be a handy tool during multiplayer rounds of Halo Infinite, as its energy shield can easily send opposing bullets back to their source. Players have subsequently discovered how to use the Repulsor to perform incredible kill combinations, and it appears that fans are still finding just how versatile it can be even weeks after Halo Infinite’s multiplayer was initially launched.
Earlier today, Twitter user The Meezus released a video clip from the MYNO Halo Infinite Invitational, a competition hosted this week at the Red Bull Gaming Studio in Toronto, Canada, to encourage diversity in the gaming community. During the performance, a player going by the name WeAreMyno2 used the Repulsor to deflect a Plasma Grenade around a corner with astonishing accuracy. This astounded MYNO’s commentary duo of Omar “Meez” Williams and Nathanael “BeatDownBlvd” Birhane, who marveled at how Halo Infinite’s Repulsor enabled players to pull off moves like this.
Shortly after Halo Infinite’s multiplayer launch, 343 Industries hosted the game’s first limited-time online event, Fracture: Tenrai, which allowed players to obtain the Samurai-style Yoroi armor and pushed the game’s already amazing player count above 200,000. It also brought back the popular Halo Fiesta game mode, which was added to Halo Infinite on a more permanent basis earlier today, along with the much-requested Slayer and Free-For-All playlists. Things haven’t always been so positive for Halo Infinite’s multiplayer, as the game’s designated subreddit was temporarily locked down by 343 at the beginning of this month due to a wave of toxic feedback; and players are still reporting a small number of game-breaking bugs and glitches plaguing Halo Infinite’s single-player and multiplayer components.
Nonetheless, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer has been an exciting source of incredible tricks and kill shots over the last month and a half, particularly with regard to the Repulsor’s adaptability. Even veteran gamers are taken aback by how this new tool (or any of Halo Infinite’s other new tools) may be utilized to either deflect an opponent’s grenades back at them or lob a player’s own across a difficult corner during a Halo Infinite Firefight round – or a larger-scale Big Team Battle.
