What is Anvil all about? Well, listen close—this stuff is your history, after all!



Some of you may remember Season 5 of Halo: The Master Chief Collection back in early 2021, which was also themed around Anvil.



Anvil Station is home to a multispecies partnership between the UNSC and their alien allies from the Arbiter’s Swords of Sanghelios. While wounds from the Covenant War are still fresh for many, there are also emerging generations of both species for whom the war will be but a memory.



On Anvil Station, humans and Sangheili work together to test experimental prototypes, including new Spartan armor variants.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">OPERATION PASS</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1.jpg" alt="Anvil press kit screenshot of two Spartans in ASSAILER armor" class="wp-image-111563" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_PK1-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



From July 2-30, Operation: Anvil will be active and you’ll be able to acquire the new Sangheili-themed ASSAILER armor, a new emblem, and additional Spartan Points to spend in The Exchange.



For those wondering: ASSAILER takes inspiration from two particular Sangheili helmets in Halo Infinite. The horn is derived from the Enforcer and the mouthguard from the infiltration harness of the Special Operations Elite.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium.jpg" alt="Halo Infinite image of the Premium Operation Pass options for Anvil" class="wp-image-111703" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/Anvil_OperationPassPremium-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Working image of the Operation Pass and Rewards.</figcaption></figure>



Progress your Operation Pass with Match XP and Challenge completions. 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>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BTB: SENTRY DEFENSE</h2>

A new Big Team Battle mode has arrived in Halo Infinite. Introducing BTB: Sentry Defense!



Adjutant Resolution, one of Zeta Halo’s submonitors who you met and fought in Halo Infinite’s campaign, has decided to jump into some multiplayer action. Two of them—simply known as “sentries” in this context—are on each team; your objective is to protect your sentries and destroy the enemy’s.



Each team has 2,000 points. As damage is dealt to your sentries, the available score drops, and if you reach 0 it’s game over. Each map will have at least one Repair Field that spawns in a neutral location—in addition to providing health regeneration for your fellow Spartans and vehicles, it’ll also repair your sentries.



BTB: Sentry Defense will be playable on:



<ul>
<li>Fragmentation</li>



<li>Highpower</li>



<li>Deadlock</li>



<li>Oasis</li>



<li>Scarr</li>



<li>Command</li>
</ul>

Command is a new symmetrical BTB map created by our amazing community cartographers and will also be added to the regular rotation of BTB maps.



With visuals that evoke the Avery J. Johnson Academy we’ve all grown familiar with on the map Live Fire, Command boasts a mix of winding roads for vehicular action along with multi-level structures where you can secure the high ground. You may get some Rat’s Nest vibes from Halo 3 in places.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WAYPOINT CHRONICLE</h2>



Coming later this month, a new Waypoint Chronicle will explore “a day in the life” aboard Anvil Station from the perspective of its multispecies personnel.



As always, this Waypoint Chronicle will be published here on Halo Waypoint, but will also be available as a free PDF and as an audiobook on YouTube. Stay tuned!



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



March 3, 2560. The human and Sangheili crew of Anvil Station mark the seventh anniversary of the Covenant War’s end as they weigh past burdens with hope for the future.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GIFTS FOR YOU!</h2>



Simply log into Halo Infinite and you will automatically unlock some rewards themed around Disability Pride Month and Juneteenth.



July marks the arrival of Disability Pride Month. Disability takes many forms, and whether a person’s disability is visible or not, Halo is a universe where anyone can be a hero—we celebrate every Spartan as they are.



Jump into Halo Infinite this month and you will unlock the Disability Pride Month armor coating, visor, and emblem.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024.jpg" alt="Halo Infinite image of three Spartans wearing the Disability Pride Month 2024 armor coating, visor, and emblem" class="wp-image-111731" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/HI_DisabilityPrideMonth2024-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



Juneteenth commemorates a historic day of freedom, liberty, and humanity, celebrating the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans on June 19, 1865. This celebration reminds us that we must unite to fight injustice and oppression in the name of making a better future.



In case you missed it: From June 18 through July 18, logging into Halo Infinite will award you the Juneteenth 2024 emblem.

That’s a wrap for us here, folks. It’s time to jump into Halo Infinite and experience Operation: Anvil—get yourselves over to BTB: Sentry Defense and start working through that Operation Pass. And stay tuned for the upcoming Waypoint Chronicle for a peek into a day in the life aboard Anvil Station.

Anvil Operation Launch

Picture it. Big Team Battle. 2024. Teams of twelve facing off. Mass destruction and carnage. Giant Sentries. Vehicular chaos. Wait… giant Sentries…?



Yes, you read that right: Giant. Sentries. Let’s talk about it!



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



If you played Halo Infinite’s Campaign then you’ll remember Adjutant Resolution—one of Zeta Halo’s submonitors. After the Master Chief shuts down a spire repairing the ring, Resolution assumes command of an Eradicator Sentinel carapace to duke it out with the Spartan on a couple of occasions.



Well, Adjutant Resolution has shown up in Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer now. Introducing Big Team Battle: Sentry Defense! Created in tandem with the oh-so-talented community Forger, Artifice7285, the goal is simple: Defend your Sentries, destroy the enemy’s.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked.jpg" alt="A red Spartan running away from a giant Sentinel in Big Team Battle Sentinel Defense" class="wp-image-111810" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/07/HI_ANVIL_PK_17_1920x1080_Watermarked-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



Each team will have 2,000 points when they deploy into battle with two giant (and chatty) Sentry turrets to defend. As damage is dealt to your turrets, the available score drops, and if you reach 0 points it’s game over. This means you have options. If you’re confident in your ability to deal damage, everyone can roll out and take on the enemy turrets en masse. If you aren’t sure, the classic divide and conquer method allows you to deal damage to the enemy Sentries while protecting yours.



Each map will have at least one Repair Field that spawns in a neutral location. In addition to providing health regeneration for your fellow Spartans and vehicles, it’ll also repair your Sentries. That makes the Repair Field equipment worth fighting for, so keep your eyes peeled!



Speaking of maps, here’s the list you’ll be taking the field on:



<ul>
<li>Fragmentation</li>



<li>Highpower</li>



<li>Deadlock</li>



<li>Oasis</li>



<li>Scarr</li>

The greatest of competitions. The most challenging combat of all. Whoever is left standing in this crucible of kings shall be given the sole claim to the Mantle of Responsibility itself!



Now get your OSHA certification, jump in a forklift, and drive everybody else off your glorious podium of victory.

Forge Features: June 28, 2024

Let’s cut straight to the chase: we are very excited to introduce Multi-Team via the Combat Workshop, effective immediately!

It has long been a favorite mode, perfect for smaller squads and a lot of chaos. It’s also a mode that has seen a lot of variations over the years—from teams of two, three, and four. It’s live right now, so read up on what you can expect when you jump into matchmaking.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FRIEND OR FOE</h2>



In past versions of Multi-Team, each squad had their own designated color (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, etc.) During this Combat Workshop, one of the main points of feedback we are interested in is how Halo Infinite’s friend vs foe detection system works when it’s friend vs all foes.



This means you will be able to tell who is on your team and all other teams will simply look like enemies to you and you won’t necessarily know which enemy you’ve come across.



Have thoughts? Be sure to follow-up and provide your feedback!



The Combat Workshop is your one-shop stop to check out work-in-progress maps, modes, and other new experiences. This playlist allows us to test out new modes, new features, new experiences, and get feedback at-scale before taking that information back and iterating on it. From there, we can address issues and community feedback to get things ready for primetime matchmaking.



Check back later for the link to the survey, or follow the QR code that will appear in-game.

Ardent Prayer - Reach

Welcome back to Forge Features, where it’s that time once again to do a round-up of some of the latest and greatest community-made maps for you to bookmark and try out!



From classic remakes to Firefight-based campaign level recreations and brand new maps, we’ve got a veritable swath of awesomeness to share with you this issue. So let’s kick things off by catching up with Operation: UPPER CUT in orbit around Reach…



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



<a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/5f134e8d-8d5f-4a5e-91b1-db288d264edb">ARDENT PRAYER – REACH</a> Credits: Gghio7 <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/5f134e8d-8d5f-4a5e-91b1-db288d264edb">Bookmark</a>

Long Night of Solace is a beloved mission from Halo: Reach, and you can experience a stunningly extensive recreation of the infiltration of the Ardent Prayer made in Halo Infinite’s Forge! You’ll start off on the corvette’s hull and fight your way in, moving to take the hangar, weapons stations, and eventually the bridge.



Grab some friends and play this map with Firefight: King of the Hill—make sure you set “SEQUENTIAL SETS” to true in the mode options (appears specifically under the Firefight options category) for a true linear experience.

Many would argue that Sandtrap is the perfect map for just about any mode, and they would be right—something that Okom1’s Sandtrap Firefight only goes to show further by bringing PvE to this beloved classic location.

A great small-sized map for those intimate 1v1 standoffs, 2v2 doubles, and 4v4 team matches—don’t feel bad if you end up getting killed because you’re just staring in awe at the rather horrifying monster in the distance!

Citadel released back in 2009 alongside Halo 3: ODST, which included the second part of the Mythic Map Pack. But where Citadel’s debut in Halo 3 was visually defined by its warm tones and golden light shining through, NEMEZIS has seen fit to explore what the map looks like as a frozen, decaying ruin.

Who knew there was a “most beautiful Halo map ever” competition going on because Stormlight is absolutely a prime contender for it! This BTB map is set under an enlarged hologram of our galaxy projected by a central Forerunner structure surrounded by verdant, rocky terrain—a true “war in heaven”-type location that perfectly fits Halo’s tone and aesthetics.

Upon spawning into this map, you just might think that you’ve stumbled back in time to 2004. The aesthetic and design sensibilities of Halo 2’s Earth-based maps are all over Derailed (with a dash of some Halo 4 as well), the gamertag of the map’s creator comes as no surprise as it really would take a total legend to build this!

UneeQ is always turning out some absolutely stunning maps, and their latest endeavor is Serenity—a remake of Sanctuary, the timeless classic from Halo 2.



Scaled for Halo Infinite’s gameplay, Serenity supports all core modes and was built using recently added ancient and alien world-themed Forge palette objects.
