The Ravager struts onto the Halo Infinite battlefield like a plasma-spewing diva, demanding attention with its dual personality. This fiery beauty doesn't just shoot plasma - she sings it with a distinctive hum that builds to a dramatic crescendo. When she's fully charged, she practically vibrates with crimson energy, whispering sweet promises of destruction to anyone within earshot. Talk about a weapon with attitude!
The Two-Faced Temperament
This plasma powerhouse boasts a serious split personality:
-
Charged Attack: The Ravager's dramatic solo performance
-
Builds up energy with an audible hum
-
Shakes and pulses with red energy when ready
-
Creates lingering plasma pools that keep damaging enemies
-
Perfect for vehicle takedowns and area denial
-
Standard Attack: Her rapid-fire trio of plasma bolts
-
Fires three bolts per trigger pull (costs 8 ammo)
-
Arcs toward targets in a beautiful, deadly rainbow
-
Requires occasional "cooling off" periods (venting)
Battlefield Brilliance
The Ravager truly shines when she's playing crowd control. Her standard attack's wide arc makes her the life of the party in Total Control matches, while her charged attack turns objective areas into no-go zones. Protecting flags in Capture the Flag? She's your gal. Defending the oddball? She's got your back. But watch out - that fancy blade on her side is mostly for show. Trying to melee after a charged attack might leave you dancing in your own plasma puddle!
Multiplayer Reality Check
Here's where our plasma princess shows some vulnerability. In multiplayer, she's been... well, let's say she's on a bit of a diet. The charged attack still shreds shields beautifully, but securing actual kills requires enemies to hang out in her plasma pools. Her standard attack needs 3-4 solid volleys to finish the job - slower than many other weapons in the sandbox.
Pro Tips from the Plasma Pros
-
Zone Control Queen: Use charged attacks to block choke points and control enemy movement
-
Shield Shredder: Remember - plasma eats shields for breakfast
-
Patience Pays: Don't rush the charge; let her build up to full dramatic effect
-
Ammo Awareness: Those standard attacks burn through ammo quickly
At the end of the day, the Ravager remains that flashy friend who might not always deliver knockout punches but sure knows how to make an entrance. She's all about style, control, and making sure everyone knows she's arrived. In the right hands, she's still very much a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
So go ahead - give this plasma-packing performer a chance. She might just surprise you with her particular set of skills. Just don't expect her to do all the work for you!
