Cosmetically, the weapon has a rather simple minimalist look compared to other Exotic weapons, but it also has a very loud noticeable sound so most players will know if one is being used somewhere. Pocket Infinity's special ability, when sufficiently upgraded, is full-automatic fire when charged. While this feature may seem highly desirable in a fusion rifle, its rather meager baseline ammo capacity of 3 rounds makes this feature problematic, even with the potential to return missed shots to the magazine. This limitation can however, be offset once the magazine's capacity is upgraded. As a possible side effect of being full auto, this gun suffers from ridiculous recoil for a fusion rifle that can easily get out of hand. | Cosmetically, the weapon has a rather simple minimalist look compared to other Exotic weapons, but it also has a very loud noticeable sound so most players will know if one is being used somewhere.

After charging up and firing a burst, if the trigger command is held down, the length of the burst will be extended to fire the rest of the magazine with no need for additional charge until the trigger is released. Each shot after the initial burst will inflict less damage down to a minimum cap (approximately 60% at the 4th burst). A "missed shot" from Pocket Infinity appears to mean "a single fusion burst where only one of the total bolts fired in the burst missed". This means that ammo can be returned to the magazine even if some of the burst hit an enemy. Regardless of this bonus, it may be advisable to bring an [[Special Ammo Synthesis|ammo synthesis]] or two as the weapon will eat through Special ammunition quickly if the player isn't watchful. | After charging up and firing a burst, if the trigger command is held down, the length of the burst will be extended to fire the rest of the magazine with no need for additional charge until the trigger is released.
