Available On:
NEW WEAPON
VESTIGE CARBINE
The Vestige Carbine is a recently discovered relic from the Covenant’s Third Age of Reclamation, forged for glorious combat once again by the Swords of Sanghelios. This semi-automatic rifle fires green, radioactive projectiles with unwavering accuracy—as dictated by tradition.
Wield the Vestige Carbine against puny humans in Banished Slayer, a new asymmetrical Slayer mode where teams must battle with either UNSC or Banished starting weapons in a contest for total domination.
NEW VEHICLE
THE FALCON
The acclaimed Falcon-series utility transport debuts its latest and most lethal model. Outfitted with a port-side grenade launcher and a heavy machine gun at starboard, this versatile warbird seats five UNSC personnel between its cockpit, jump-seats, and gunner positions.
Jump into the Famished Famished Falcons party mode to earn your wings with the Falcon. Four aerial crews compete to steal a lone flag and return to their base to score.
Swoop, slam, and soar to glory!
RANKED UPDATE
LATTICE & SERENITY
Ranked maps incoming! Starting in Operation: Shadows, the arctic arena of Lattice arrives in the Ranked Slayer, Doubles, Snipers, and Tactical playlists, as well as Ranked Arena’s Oddball, KoTH, and Strongholds modes.
A modified version of UneeQ’s Serenity has also been added to Ranked experiences. Sporting refinements made with competition in mind, this slightly less “serene” map now joins select Ranked Arena modes (Slayer, CTF, Assault: Neutral Bomb) and the Ranked Slayer, Snipers, and Tactical playlists.
SHADOWS
OPERATION PASS

PREMIUM CUSTOMIZATION
MACHINE WAR BUNDLE
The Shop takes you into its confidence with full disclosure on the latest developments in top-secret military hardware.

The Banished war machine never sleeps—and from its dreams of conquest come vicious versions of the Heatwave and Needler, a pair of brutish weapon coatings, and two devious Mutilator models for double the devastation. Seize the Legacy of Rukt Bundle to make your enemies’ nightmares real.
FORGE UPDATE
MENUS & CUSTOM INPUTS
In Operation: Shadows, Forgers can employ new Radial Menus to enhance their modes with interactive menus during gameplay. Try using Radial Menus to select custom loadouts, choose spawn locations, purchase from match economy systems, summon AI reinforcements, and more!
New Custom Input functionality also allows Forgers to map custom actions to unused controller inputs and key bindings. This approach can be used to implement unique player behaviors such as teleporting, opening Radial Menus, or any number of contextual actions.
WEAPON BENCH

Spartans may now apply weapon models, coatings, charms, emblems, and death effects to the Gravity Hammer, Mangler, Stalker Rifle, Pulse Carbine, Cindershot, Sentinel Beam, Disruptor, Plasma Pistol, Ravager, and the new Vestige Carbine.
This time, it’s personal. (And shiny!)
