Halo Infinite Mangler: What Is It And Where Can It Be Found?
The Mangler is a new weapon in Halo Infinite, inspired by the main enemies of the campaign - the Banished, who are a returning element from Halo Wars 2. It looks and functions like a revolver/shotgun hybrid, firing slugs that are effective at all ranges, instead of a close range pellet spread. Though it has a slow fire rate and reload time, so missing a shot in a firefight is usually a death sentence, hence the trouble players are finding with it. Though it can still pack the same punch at range, the bullet has a slow travel time, so you'll need to lead your shots.
With three headshots you'll take out any enemy Spartan, and a few more body shots will also do the trick, though most weapons can take you out before you have the chance due to the slow rate of fire. There is also a blade positioned on the gun's front. This doesn't do extra melee damage, but it will earn you an achievement if you can get a kill with it.
The Mangler is a power weapon and spawns in select points on most maps, typically found in the wall containers found around the environments. You'll often find one around each spawn area, with the more powerful guns found more centrally.

Halo Infinite Mangler: How To Get A Kill
The Mangler challenges relate to simply getting kills with the weapon in a matchmade game. The amount of kills depends on the tier, which seem to rise from one, to five, to ten. For an easy method of getting a kill, drop an enemies shield with your assault rifle and switch to the Mangler for a one-shot headshot. You can also do the challenges in the Bot Bootcamp mode if online matchmaking provides too much of a challenge.
