Halo Infinite is nearly upon us, with the full launch of the game looming over players. The next game in the Halo franchise from 343 Industries promises to introduce some big changes to the series, while incorporating that familiar Halo feel that players have come to know and love over the years.
\nWhether you\u2019re a Halo newbie or you\u2019ve been playing since the release of Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, there are bound to be things that surprise you. That being said, this guide is here to help clear up any confusion about the game and attempt to answer any questions you might have.
\nSome of the information you may already know, while other details you may just be learning like the rest of us. From price of the campaign to the release date, weapons, and more, you should be able to find everything here. So, let\u2019s jump into it.
\nWhat is Halo Infinite?<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite is the latest Halo game in the long-running series. The game is developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft. It\u2019s comprised of a multiplayer mode for PvP-based gameplay, and the campaign which dumps players into the story for PvE-based gameplay.
\nMultiplayer includes much of the style of gameplay from past games in the series. Including Slayer, Big Team Battle, the Halo Forge, Oddball, and other fan-favorite match types.
\nThe campaign is just what you would expect. A beefy story mode filled with exciting missions and combat.
\nWhat does Halo Infinite cost?
\nHalo Infinite will cost $60 to buy the campaign on Xbox consoles, or on PC via Steam. Although, there is a way to get the campaign for free. If you\u2019re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, Halo Infinite\u2019s campaign will be a part of Game Pass on day one.
\nMeaning you can hop in at no additional cost when it goes live. The multiplayer portion of the game is free-to-play. So you won\u2019t have to pay for it at all. You can simply install it and play as much as you like.
\nWhen does the game launch?
\nMicrosoft is officially launching Halo Infinite on December 8. However, there is a bit more clarification to be laid out here. The free-to-play multiplayer mode is already live, but it\u2019s technically still in a beta. With the official launch out of beta happening on December 8.
\nThis date is also when the campaign mode goes live and players will be able to jump into the story mode.
\nWhere is the game playable?<\/p>\n

You can play Halo Infinite on the Xbox Series X|S, and on PC. On both consoles and PC you can access the game through Game Pass. On PC you can also access it through Steam, where you can also purchase the campaign.
\nDoes the campaign have a co-op mode?<\/p>\n

Yes and no. The campaign will have a co-op mode where you can play through the story with friends. However, this will not be available with the game at launch on December 8. Which means if you want to play the campaign right away, you\u2019ll be going it alone.
\nWhen does the campaign co-op mode launch?
\nThere isn\u2019t an official release date for the campaign co-op. All 343 Industries has said is that its goal is to launch the campaign co-op with season 2. The multiplayer is currently in season 1, and is likely to stay that way until sometime in early 2022.
\nSo while there is no official date for campaign co-op yet, players can probably\u00a0expect the co-op to arrive sometime between February and March. Again though, exact timing all depends on when season 2 launches and if 343 is able to stick to its target launch date goal.
\nWhat about the Halo Forge?
\nThe Halo Forge mode is another popular mode that players fell in love with from past Halo games. This will also not be launching alongside the game on December 8. According to 343 Industries, its goal is to launch Halo Forge alongside season 3. Given the length of time seasons are likely to last, it\u2019s possible that players won\u2019t see the Halo Forge arrive until the middle of next year.
\nAs with the campaign co-op, though, exact timing is unknown. So, this is a detail we all just have to keep our eyes open for in the months ahead.
\nWhat are the match types in Halo Infinite?<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite currently has 7 different match types, although they\u2019re referred to as Modes in this game. All of which but one are available in the game at this very moment. The one that isn\u2019t included right now is Fiesta. It was briefly in the game for the multiplayer\u2019s first event, Fracture: Tenrai, and was the only event match type. This event will spread out over multiple weeks across a period of months, leading into next year. The first week of the event is now over and comes back in January.
\nFor the other match types, all of the currently available (confirmed) modes are listed below. It\u2019s also likely that more modes will be added later on, and, could even be available once the game fully launches.
\nCurrently unavailable game modes
\nFiesta
\nCurrently available game modes
\nOddball
\nSlayer
\nCapture The Flag
\nStockpile
\nTotal Control
\nStrongholds
\nIn addition to these modes, there are variations of them that you will see pop up. Such as \u2018One Flag.\u2019 Which is essentially Capture The Flag but where only one team has a flag to defend and the other must take it back to their base. Once the round is over the offense and defense teams swap.
\nThere\u2019s also playlists that incorporate all these modes in their own way. Quickplay includes all modes and will randomly select one for players upon entering. Big Team Battle is basically the same thing but with larger teams. Then there\u2019s Arena which is ranked. And finally you have Bot Bootcamp, which is a team of four players against an enemy team of bots. This is intended as a practice mode to help players familiarize themselves with maps and weapons, and increase their skills.
\nHow many players can play in each mode?
\nThis will depend on whether you\u2019re playing in the Quick Play playlist or the Big Team Battle playlist. In Quick Play, and other modes like Fiesta from the Fracture: Tenrai event, there are four players on each team. In Big Team Battle there are 12 players on each team.
\nWhat are the Halo Infinite maps?<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite multiplayer will have a wide collection of maps to play on. Some more suited to Big Team Battle while others are perfect for smaller modes that are based on 4v4. You can find the complete list of maps below that are available in Halo Infinite Multiplayer.
\nHalo Infinite Multiplayer Maps
\nAquarius
\nBazaar
\nBehemoth
\nDeadlock
\nFragmentation
\nHighpower
\nLaunch Site
\nLive Fire
\nRecharge
\nStreets
\nThese are all the maps you can currently spawn into when playing in multiplayer matches. Although, more will be added after the game launches. When, we can\u2019t say. Because we\u2019re not sure, as Microsoft and 343 haven\u2019t confirmed when new maps will be added or what they\u2019ll be. But more will be coming in the future.
\nWhat weapons does the game have?<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite has a huge list of weapons to use in combat. Whether you\u2019re plowing your way through waves of Banished in the campaign or taking on enemy Spartans in multiplayer. You can find the complete list of weapons currently in the game below. Keep in mind that more will potentially be added at a later date as the game progresses. But for now, here\u2019s everything you can end up with.
\nAlso worth noting is that we\u2019re only listing the weapons here. Not any of the equipment or grenades. You can find that below this section.
\nHalo Infinite UNSC Weapons
\nMA40 Assault Rifle (Fully automatic assault rifle)
\nBR75 Battle Rifle (Burst fire and single-shot battle rifle)
\nVK47 Commando (Fully automatic and three-shot burst precision tactical rifle)

\nS7 Sniper Rifle (Variable zoom sniper rifle)
\nM41 SPNKR (Rocket launcher)
\nMLRS-2 Hydra (Rocket launcher\/grenade launcher hybrid with non-tracking and tracking shot rounds)
\nHalo Infinite Banished Weapons
\nPulse Carbine (Five-burst energy rifle)
\nNeedler (rapid-fire SMG)
\nPlasma Pistol (single-shot and charged shot pistol)
\nEnergy Sword

\nShock Rifle
\nHalo Infinite Forerunner Weapons
\nHeatwave (Energy projectile shotgun)
\nSentinel Beam
\nCinder Shot (Grenade launcher with variable fire mode)
\nWhat equipment does the game have?
\nIn addition to the weapons, as a Spartan hitting the battlefield you\u2019ll have a range of different equipment items you can have in your arsenal. This includes both non-lethal equipment, and lethal equipment such as frag grenades. We\u2019ll list them both below, but split up for convenience.
\nNon-lethal equipment
\nDrop Wall
\nThruster
\nRepulsor
\nGrapple Shot
\nOvershield
\nThreat Sensor
\nActive Camo
\nLethal Equipment
\nFrag Grenades
\nPlasma Grenades
\nDynamo Grenades
\nSpike Grenades
\nHow does progression work in Halo Infinite?<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite will tie its progression to a seasonal battle pass. To level up the pass, you\u2019ll need to play the game and complete challenges. Challenges are split up into daily and weekly challenges, with each challenge having its own set of tasks for the player.
\nAfter completing all weekly challenges, you\u2019ll get an ultimate challenge that will typically serve as a more difficult challenge to complete, but with slightly better rewards.
\nThis is also separate from the event-specific pass that will come along with each event. Event passes will work the same as the seasonal battle pass, but with their own separate set of challenges.
\nHow do the micro transactions work?<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite\u2019s multiplayer mode is free-to-play. So that means development for it is monetized through the micro transactions in the store. You\u2019ll use Halo Credits to purchase stuff from the store, and you can buy Halo Credits with real-world money.
\nStore purchases can include XP boosts, double XP boosts, challenge swaps, armor core customization, weapon customization, emotes, and more. Store inventory cycles weekly on each Tuesday reset. Exactly like Destiny 2.
\nWhat kinds of customization does Halo Infinite have?<\/p>\n

You can customize lots of stuff. The main customizations will be the different armor cores. Which is the suit of armor your Spartan wears. Currently there are three available cores to choose from. One of which is the Yoroi armor that comes from the Fracture: Tenrai event. Though, now that the event is gone, you\u2019ll have to wait till it comes back in January before you can acquire it if you didn\u2019t do so while the event was active during its first week. There\u2019s also the Mark VII and the Mark V.
\nIn addition to armor cores, you can customize your armor coating. Which is basically Halo Infinite\u2019s shader system from Destiny 2. This is how you will change the colors of your armor. Additionally, you can apply armor coatings to weapons and vehicles.
\nPlus, you can change your Spartan\u2019s service tag, palette, voice, nameplate, backdrop, and stance. You can also customize the body type with different types of arm and leg prosthesis, as well as the AI model and color. But there\u2019s more. You can also add emblems to your gamertag, vehicles, and weapons. Weapons can also have charms, as well as customized kits that change the look similar to the way coatings do. Like we said, you can customize quite a bit.
