Since Dreamhack hosts many different games and experiences outside of just HCS, we’ve had to make some ticketing alterations. Here’s how it all breaks down:



<ul>
<li>General Admission: $99/per Person – Grants access to the entire DreamHack event for all 3 days.</li>



<li>Team Pass: $299/per Team – Includes (4) Players and (1) Coach. Grants access to the entire DreamHack event for all 3 days.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GA 3-Day Tickets: $99</h2>





<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team Pass: $299</h2>



In order to complete your team pass transaction, you must sign up with your FULL TEAM! All players will need a <a href="https://t.co/LREo6xnHPo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Start.gg</a> account to be added to the roster.

October 24-26, the Halo World Championship is once again coming home to Seattle, Washington!



The Halo World Championship will determine not only who gets the lion’s share of the $1,000,000 prize pool but, more importantly, the title of the best Halo team in the entire world! And once again, the HaloWC is the home for all fans in the Halo community, not just HCS fans. You can expect the triumphant return of the Community Stage with special guests and dev panels galore, as well as fun festival-like activities for everyone to enjoy.  We’re also working on introducing some new elements to HaloWC as well as working on layout design changes to spice things up compared to prior years. We hope to see you there!

Click here to watch the sneak peek of S&D Extraction

Today we’re excited to give an early sneak peek at a new competitive mode coming later this year to Halo Infinite – S&D Extraction (Seek and Deploy)!

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">THE BASICS</h1>



As the name suggests, this is an S&D mode, and this is the first time a mode like this has made its way to Halo. This mode is built on Extraction so be prepared to Seek and Deploy!



Here’s how it works:



<ul>
<li>Single life, round-based</li>



<li>Best of 11 rounds (first to 6 wins the match)</li>



<li>One team starts on Offense, the other starts on Defense (alternating after each round)</li>



<li>Maps are asymmetrical with 2 Extraction Sites</li>



<li>Offense must determine which site to attack and initiate an Extraction on the site. Once the Extraction begins, the defending team must convert.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1-1024x576.png" alt="Spartan planting the Extraction device in S&D Extraction" class="wp-image-130172" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1-300x169.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1-768x432.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1-1568x882.png 1568w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-1.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ECONOMIC SURPLUS</h1>



While S&D Extraction has Bandit Evo starts, it also features an expansive economy system. Players are rewarded with Credits for initiating Extractions, converting Extractions, as well as getting kills. There are also neutral devices on the map where players can secure extra credits (assuming they’re able to safely do so).



Before each round begins, players can spend their credits on things like weapons, grenades, equipment, and even power equipment like Active Camo. The cost of items is based on their overall effectiveness and power potential in the round, with more powerful items of course being more expensive. Overall, you should see cheaper items in the first few rounds, more expensive items in the middle of the match, and towards the end if players save up you might see even more expensive items.



Everything you’ve purchased goes away at the end of each round so you’ll want to make sure you purchase only what you’ll need because you’ll be buying again next round. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2-1024x576.png" alt="Spartans battling it out in S&D Extraction" class="wp-image-130158" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2-300x169.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2-768x432.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2-1536x864.png 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2-1568x882.png 1568w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/Screenshot-2.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">BUY BACK</h1>



For S&D Extraction, we felt it was important to maintain the same base gameplay that Halo Infinite fans know and love – the same Spartan movement abilities, the same weapon lethality, and of course the same shields as well. This is quite different from other games where the time-to-kill is a lot faster and even a single headshot from a rifle could take you out. Because of this, what we’ve found is that in one life modes typically one team will get the numbers advantage and then from there it’s very easy for them to just steam roll the rest of the round. It’s disproportionately difficult for the team, let’s say in a 3v4 situation, to come back and win the round. This is the main reason why the mode is built on Extraction vs. Assault (because you don’t need to carry a bomb and thus put your team at a big disadvantage) but it’s also why we’re introducing the Buy Back mechanic.



If you’ve just died in a round and you’ve got enough Credits, you’ll be given the opportunity to Buy Back into the round. If you Buy Back, you’ll spawn at your team’s initial spawn and with just your base loadout (Bandit Evo, no grenades, no equipment). The introduction of this mechanic not only helps balance out matches due to Halo’s base mechanics but also introduces another layer of depth. Do you save for Buy Back? If you use the Buy Back, will you have enough to buy more gear in later rounds? Is it too late to Buy Back or can you help your team win the round?



While we’re still fine-tuning the economy, the intention is to make the Buy Back expensive so that it not only requires saving for, but is also treated as a big tradeoff decision. We feel there needs to be an appropriate level of risk/reward for this mechanic. There may even be matches you play where there are no Buy Backs used.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">FORGING A NEW PARTNERSHIP</h1>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-1024x576.png" alt="S&D Extraction $20,000 Halo Infinite Forge Contest - Presented by ForgeHub and Halo Studios " class="wp-image-130142" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-1024x576.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-300x169.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-768x432.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-1536x864.png 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-2048x1152.png 2048w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/02/ForgeHub-SD-VisID-V2-1568x882.png 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



We’re also excited to announce our partnership with <a href="http://x.com/forgehub">ForgeHub</a> for the S&D Extraction Forgehub Map Contest. Halo Studios contributed $10,000 and ForgeHub have graciously decided to match, bringing the total contest prize pool to a whopping $20,000!



The contest starts today and we’ve worked with ForgeHub on the rules, guidelines, and judging. To see all of that information, please head to <a href="http://forgehub.com/events">ForgeHub.com/Events</a>.



Additionally, we’ve been building S&D Extraction with members of the Forge community already and we’re excited to confirm that we’ve hired <a href="http://x.com/artificeslab">Artifice</a> and <a href="http://x.com/mikrips">Mikrips</a> to build the mode and map respectively. It’s been great working with these skillful Forgers and we can’t wait to see the final experience come together for you all to play.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">WHAT’S NEXT?</h1>



S&D Extraction will be coming to Halo Infinite and HCS later this year. We’re still in the early days but we wanted to get the word out as soon as possible to allow Forgers as much time as possible to submit maps to ForgeHub.

The next time you’ll get to see S&D Extraction will be at the FaZe Kaysan Invitational on March 29 where we’ll be hosting a special match to show the first-ever pro gameplay on S&D Extraction – you won’t want to miss it live on <a href="http://twitch.tv/halo">Twitch.tv/Halo</a> and <a href="http://twitch.tv/kaysan">Twitch.tv/Kaysan</a>.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">CONCLUSION</h1>



We are so excited to not only be working on a fun and exciting new competitive mode but also be able to now build the experience alongside the community.
