<p>You have one shot. One opportunity. Will you seize it or let victory slip away?</p>



<p>Introducing One Shot Slayer. And yes, as the name implies, this new mode is going to be especially relevant to the interests of the Tactical Slayer fans.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tactical Refresh</h1>

<p>If you haven’t checked it out yet, <em>Halo Infinite</em>’s Tactical Slayer operates on the same rules and basis as past game installments. While previously known as SWAT, the mode remains the same. No one in the lobby has shields and everyone has a precision weapon of sorts capable of killing in a single headshot. Whether you’re wielding a BR, a DMR, a pistol, or the Mangler, aim for the head and keep moving!</p>

<p>It’s (tactical) combat: evolved. When the match starts, you’ll have your trusty Mangler equipped, but there’s only one round in the chamber. If you make it count, anywhere from head to toe, you’ll be refunded your bullet and live to have another fight. If you miss, you’ll find yourself scrambling to evade the shootout and hoping you can get a melee on a player to steal their round. If that fails, you simply have to stay under the radar and play your life for 5 seconds to regain your ability to return fire.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Lay of the Land</h1>



<p>Here’s the maps you’ll be playing for keeps on:</p>



<ul>
<li>Bazaar</li>



<li>Curfew</li>



<li>Illusion</li>



<li>Live Fire</li>



<li>Kiken’na</li>



<li>Solution</li>



<li>Streets</li>
</ul>



<p>Wipe off those sweaty palms, this is no time to have weak knees or heavy arms.  Look sharp and stay alive – your teammates are counting on you.</p>

<p>Fall is (almost) here and so is another installment of Forge Features! This is where we look at all the incredible works that players across the <em>Halo</em> community are creating in <em>Halo Infinite</em>’s Forge tool.</p>



<p>And yes. I’m blinded by the majesty each and every time. Let’s check out some new stuff together!</p>

<p>“Stunning” is the only word that comes to mind checking out this asymmetrical map. Everything about this map is pleasing to the eye and serves as a brilliant reminder of how powerful Forge is.</p>

<p>Wizard…Warlock…Warlord…This map has known many iterations. But this might be the most beautiful one yet. Looks like it was conjured straight out of a fantasy novel!</p>

<p>Mashing up the unlikely pairing of <em>Halo 4</em> and the battle of Hacksaw Ridge, this map works great for 8v8 squad battles as well as Firefight: King of the Hill, and a bunch of other modes.  </p>
