Halo Infinite
Fight for the grace of the Mantle in Operation: Forerunner, now through May 6.
This month’s free 20-tier Operation Pass offers a chance to live up to the Forerunner legacy with the return of the fan-favorite Prefect armor from Halo 4. Reverse-engineered by the UNSC from Forerunner tech, this supremely stylish armor set has been reforged for a new generation of Spartans.
Operation: Forerunner introduces long-awaited multiplayer modes to test your mettle.
Experience grand-scale combat with new Extraction and Assault modes in Big Team Battle, featuring multi-site mayhem and bomb-the-base objectives for up to 24 players.
Not risky enough? Then brave the thrill of Husky Assault, a tactical mode that combines Assault’s strategic objectives with Husky Raid’s randomized weaponry and dubiously few exit scenarios. Just remember: you are what you dare.
Available On:
NEW WEAPON
Fuel Rod SPNKr
It’s not just old Covenant technology that the Banished ravenously repurpose and reforge into their own tools of domination, but the UNSC’s as well.
Introducing the Fuel Rod SPNKr, a rocket launcher that has been heavily modified by the Banished and fires Venezian-repackaged fuel rod munitions.
The Fuel Rod SPNKr works great against vehicles—its six-shot magazine makes it effective against a wide range of targets.
You will be able to find the Fuel Rod SPNKr as a power weapon on maps, but if you want to get to grips with this new take on a Covenant classic you can jump into the Academy’s Training mode—or spawn it in Forge for some custom games.
NEW PLAYLIST
Husky Assault
Husky Assault brings the bombastic action of Assault to the proving grounds of Husky Raid. With no way to go but forward, you and your team must carry the bomb to your enemy’s base through onrushing foes, armed with whatever weapons fate has deemed appropriate.
Faced with a lineup of angry foes and one bomb to go around, Husky Assault gives new import to the Didact’s maxim: “You are what you dare.”
To rate a footnote in the chronicles of history, try and dare to be more than itty-bitty pieces.
NEW PLAYLIST
BTB REFRESH
A revolutionary remix brings multi-site Extraction and Assault objectives to the Big Team Battle playlist.
The new BTB Extraction mode allows teams of up to 12 Spartans to attack and secure two simultaneously active extraction sites at a time. You’ll need to coordinate and conquer while the sites are active—and regroup when the mission changes.
First to 7 claims victory, but it looks a lot easier in the combat sims.
Meanwhile, BTB Assault ups the ante on bombastic combat. One Bomb mode asks you to secure the perimeter and fend off a team of would-be bombers until the round expires. In Multi-bomb, you’ve got to choose between pressing forward with your bomb or repelling enemy sappers as they try to detonate your base.
With every tick of the clock, the enemy could be sneaking behind your lines with a megaton payload. Look alive, Spartans!
