Where is the boss location to get the Riven Mangler in Halo Infinite?
You can find the location to kill Balkarus to get the Riven Mangler close to the FOB Charlie on the map. The location of the high value target boss is marked with a red circle on the map.
Balkarus
Balkarus is the high value target boss (Nr 8 on the target list) that you need to kill to obtain the upgraded version of the Mangler. Balkarus has a plasma turret that he uses. It is recommended to take down his shield and then use rockets to finish him off.
Captain Balkarus is a veteran Jirlhanae officer of the Banished who once served directly under Atriox’s command, accompanying his war chief on several critical missions. In recent years, he’s attempted to leverage this trusted standing to earn a place in the Bloodstars spec ops group – a former Covenant combat team, appropriated by Atriox as an elite unit trained for the singular purpose of killing Spartans.
Though he has yet to achieve this goal, Belkarus has distinguished himself among his fellow officers for his ferociousness in battle, and has been known to kill his own soldiers for the slightest demonstrations of hesitancy on the battlefield.
Where can I equip the Riven mangler?
After you have killed the target and its minions, you will be able to get the Riven Mangler at any FOB. Go to one of the four weapon caches and rotate to the left to select the Riven Mangler. Marines can also use the weapon.
