<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards.jpg" alt="Reward track image for Cyber Showdown III showing new multi-use CHIMERA armor on the wall" class="wp-image-97908" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/03/CS3_Rewards-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



The Cyber Showdown III Operation Pass features 20 tiers of free customization rewards themed around the concept of the “viral machine,” which visually translates to a dark cyberpunk take on the aesthetics of the CHIMERA armor—a twisted fusion of organic elements in digital form.



You know the drill: play Halo Infinite, progress your Operation Pass with Match XP and Challenge completions, and you’ll unlock new armor, coatings, weapon charms, and emblems and nameplates to enhance your customization.



While Cyber Showdown III is themed around the CHIMERA armor core, the majority of the customization content is multi-use, meaning that you can equip helmets, visors, shoulders, and coatings across any armor core.



Additional premium options for the Operation Pass include:



<ul>
<li>500 credits will make the Operation Pass durable (it will not expire), offers bonus XP during the Operation’s live window, an extra Challenge slot while your pass is equipped, and comes with an exclusive customization item.</li>



<li>2,000 credits instantly unlocks all 20 tiers of the Operation Pass at purchase and includes the exclusive bonus customization item.</li>
</ul>



The bonus item in the Premium Operation Pass for Cyber Showdown III is the Emberbreak armor coating.

Take combat to new heights with the latest map that has been added to Halo Infinite, named Elevation.



Taking place aboard a space elevator, a familiar sight from fans going all the way back to Halo 2, Elevation is a map created entirely in Halo Infinite‘s Forge.



On Elevation, indoor combat will keep your boots on the ground, but heading outside for a spacewalk in the middle of a firefight just might send you on a one-way journey to the planet below.



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



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HUSKY RAID REFRESH</h2>





Husky Raid has gotten even huskier with the addition of six new maps.



For those of you who might need an introduction or refresher: Husky Raid is a game mode that originally debuted in Halo 4 as a chaotic twist on Capture The Flag, featuring Fiesta-style random weapon loadouts and equipment.



Husky Raid has been in Halo Infinite for a while now and the time has come to update this beloved mode with some new maps created in Forge by our amazing community cartographers. Alongside Cyber Showdown III are six new maps, including:



<ul>
<li>Formation</li>



<li>Merchant’s Square</li>



<li>Outlook</li>



<li>Pharaoh</li>



<li>Ruujaya</li>



<li>Urban Raid</li>
</ul>



For a more detailed look at each of these new maps, <a href="http://aka.ms/HuskyRaidRefresh">check out our Husky Raid blog</a>.

That wraps us up for this Operation launch, which means it’s time to jump into the game and start working through that new Operation Pass!



With a brand-new map to check out and a refresh of the Husky Raid playlist, it’s the perfect time to dive into the action.

Cyber Showdown III Operation Launch

Ain’t no raid like a Huskier Raid! Yes, that’s right… <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/husky-raid-halo-infinite">Husky Raid</a> is getting even huskier with the addition of six new maps! 



The explosive, fan-favorite mode first introduced into matchmaking in Halo 4, is a chaotic twist on Capture the Flag. The game is played linearly with Fiesta style weapon loadouts, which means random weapons and random abilities. It’s running and gunning at its finest as everyone tries to push for the opposing flag. 



Community Forgers have, once again, pulled out all the stops and put together some absolutely beautiful, and some treacherous, maps for the playlist. What better way to kick off Cyber Showdown III than jumping in for some chaos?



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



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/b80c79c5-2746-4434-8b72-18f77baf861d">Formation</a></h2>



Author: H0LLYW00D II



That cave was not a natural formation, and neither is this Formation. You’ll feel like you’ve been dropped into the middle of a fierce campaign mission. There’s beautiful Forerunner caverns, a light bridge, and a busted Warthog in the way. Not to mention the battle amongst the AI themselves (requiring 1 script brain and 125 nodes, no biggie) happening in parallel. Just remember to watch your step!

Author: bullet2thehead9, MikRips



Walking through the merchant’s square, this map is definitely giving off medieval vibes. From the giant knights in the distance, to the pirate ship in the bay, and the fruit stand in the center,  you’ll feel like you’re taking a stroll through a quaint town. The map also features a two-level lane in the center so make sure you check both high and low along the way!

Author: PrivateKinetic 



Take in the general splendor. The view is absolutely stunning and you have quite the outlook over the vastness below you. The surroundings are dotted with many observatories while you also face down the enemy team across the bridge. Watch out for sneaky repulsor plays and don’t fall off!

Author: bullet2thehead9, MikRips 



As I walk through the valley of the kings I realize I’ve spawned with a Plasma Pistol and a Ravager and…oh, sorry. If you don’t like sand, this map is not for you since it’s sandy and carved directly into the cliffside ruins. Feels like you’re exploring and moving about an old tomb.

Author: PrivateKinetic, Handsome Huber 



You’ll spawn in the back alley and have to cut through an urban neighborhood street to grab the opposing flag here. There’s propaganda plastered in the back and some fun traversal options to keep you on your toes.

Legend has it, players are still fiercely battling it out here in this beautiful battleground. Offering a variety of traversal options, you’ll be tempted to check out the hieroglyphs on the wall but don’t let your guard down – they are coming for your flag!

The <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/firefight-king-of-the-hill-preview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Firefight: King of the Hill</a> experience is expanding today to include five new maps! Ranging in size, the new maps will spice up the encounters, bring variety to the playlist, and ultimately keep your foot firmly on that Warthog accelerator pedal.



Let’s see where you’ll be battling the Banished next!

Cliffhanger is a bit on the smaller side, but don’t let yourself get complacent—you’ll still have to stay on your toes and guard your hill.

The Banished will feel right at home here since this map is set on their mining facility, so let’s do something about that. Watch for pitfalls and keep the enemy at bay!
