Much criticism was levied at Halo Infinite’s new Halo 3 Refueled playlist for featuring the Sidekick in the starting loadout when it launched on Nov. 14. But 343 Industries’ response to those criticisms has been just as quick: The Sidekick is out and the Battle Rifle is in.
In a backend update released with the weekly reset on Nov. 21, the Halo 3 Refueled playlist got three significant improvements: symmetrical power equipment spawns on Banished Narrows, performance improvements for Sylvanus, as well as starting loadouts in all modes now featuring the Battle Rifle and Assault Rifle. The final point has been one of the most heavily requested changes since day one, to the point where the Sidekick’s inclusion in the starting loadout had reignited community-wide debates around the weapon’s place in the sandbox.
