Cyber Showdown III Operation Pass for Halo Infinite introduces a 20-tier free customization rewards system themed around the "viral machine," offering new armor, coatings, and more. The update includes a new map called Elevation set on a space elevator, a refresh to the Husky Raid playlist with six new maps, and a Net Riot bundle in the shop. Premium options for the Operation Pass are available, and completing all challenges unlocks the Signal Source Emblem suite.
Husky Raid, a fan-favorite linear Capture the Flag mode with random weapons, has been introduced in Halo Infinite. The intense and chaotic gameplay, where players battle through narrow corridors to capture the enemy's flag, has returned with a variety of community-made maps. This multiplayer mode, known for its high attrition and fierce flag battles, has solidified its place as one of the all-time great Halo modes.
Halo Infinite is offering a bonus XP weekend to help players finish their Battle Pass before Season 4: Infection arrives later this month. The game has also added four new community-made Forge maps for the Community Doubles playlist. Additionally, the game is looking for the best Husky Raid arenas to bring to matchmaking. MCC Modding is spotlighting community-made mods, and HCS DreamHack Dallas is hosting the HCS Global Invitational. The Halo Gear Shop has released a new 2023 PRIDE collection, and the next novel by Kelly Gay, Halo: Epitaph, will explore the final fate of the Didact.
