Why Some Halo Infinite Fans Want Sniper Ricochet Back

gamerant.com:

What makes the Halo Infinite sandbox addictive for players is how the sandbox allows them to interact with other players and the world around them in countless ways, but one player wants to see a return of a weapon feature that would add yet another tool for players to take advantage of.

In prior releases, the Sniper Rifle had the special ability to ricochet rounds off of virtually any surface the player could shoot, but this doesn't return in Halo Infinite. One player took to Reddit to share about how 343 Industries should bring back ricochet for the Sniper Rifle, especially when other weapons have this feature.

Reddit user Zsean69 created a post regarding the lack of Sniper Rifle ricochet: «I am shocked no one is talking about sniper ricochet being gone.» Zsean69 continues by pointing out that the purpose of the post isn't to cause hate. Instead, Zsean69 states, «I do miss it and the chaos you could cause» and finishes off the post by saying that it's «kind of weird [343 Industries] neglected this [feature].» Currently, 343 Industries has not addressed the lack of sniper ricochet in Halo Infinite though some weapons have this ability.

Sniper rifles in previous entries had the ability to bounce bullets off of surfaces if fired at the correct angle, or ricochet. Halo players often pull off incredible plays using this weapon, and the ability to ricochet its bullets sometimes helped facilitate those plays by extending them or being the plays themselves. While the Sniper Rifle cannot ricochet shots, other weapons in Halo Infinite can. In fact, the Heatwave shotgun's gimmick is that players can hold down choke points within a map by bouncing its rounds down tight corridors.
