With the Infinity's Armor update just around the corner, let's all take a moment to try and predict what all the blurred Requisitions are in the photo above! I'll post my list, and feel free to agree / disagree with me on any item. Armor (skins): Two Atlas Variants One Gungnir Variant One Stalker Variant Weapon (skins): Vault Boy Colored Skins Wolf Magnum Boomco. Assault Rifle Blaster Orange Flame Skins (?) 'Murica Skin Scratched Magnum Skin Visor: Something that resembles Olympia Vale's visor Stances: Stance 1: Holding Spartan Laser, ready to assault. Stance 2: Holding an AR, posed as if walking into the battlefield. Assassinations: Assassination 1: They try to attack you, but you counter and make them stab themselves. Assassination 2: Something reminiscent of the classic Red vs. Blue "Grif in a headlock". Warzone Weapons: Mythic Battle Rifle - Probably a Halo 2 or Halo 3 Variant Two Carbine Variants - One acting like a Needle Rifle Emblems: I have no idea. Alright everyone, that's my list. What do you all think? Any different opinions? Source of photo: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/infinitys-armory-preview-2
