Halo Infinite Season 5 Update Patch Notes and Latest Updates

Halo Infinite 

Halo Infinite, released in 2021, is a first-person shooter game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. Serving as the sixth mainline entry in the acclaimed Halo series, it follows the events of Halo 5: Guardians (2015).

The game’s campaign revolves around the iconic human supersoldier, Master Chief, as he confronts the formidable enemy faction known as the Banished on the Forerunner ringworld, Zeta Halo, also referred to as Installation 07. A notable departure from its predecessors, Halo Infinite offers a free-to-play multiplayer experience, expanding accessibility to a wider gaming audience.

Originally slated as a launch title for the Xbox Series X/S, the game faced a delay in August 2020. This postponement followed a gameplay reveal in July 2020, which drew substantial negative feedback from both critics and long-standing Halo enthusiasts.

The multiplayer component, however, was made available in open beta form on November 15, 2021, coinciding with the franchise’s 20th anniversary. The full campaign was subsequently launched on December 8, 2021, accessible on Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.

Halo Infinite Season 5 Update Patch Notes

50-TIER BATTLE PASS & REWARD IMPROVEMENTS

As outlined in the “Battle Pass & Operations | Season 5” blog on Halo Waypoint this season’s Battle Pass features 50 tiers and the following reward track improvements:

• Tiers that reward Armor Coatings now grant that Coating for all available Armor Cores at the same time.
• Tiers that reward Shoulder Pads will now grant both the Right and Left versions of that Shoulder Pad at once rather than splitting the two versions between different tiers.
• Rather than being dispersed throughout the full reward track, the free Battle Pass rewards are now grouped within the first 20 tiers. Tiers 21-50 are only available to players who purchase the Premium Battle Pass.

The Season 5: Reckoning Battle Pass will be available for all players between October 17, 2023, and November 14, 2023. Purchasing the Season 5 Premium Battle Pass for 1,000 credits will provide players with the following benefits:

• Permanent access to progressing the full Battle Pass, which includes 1,000 earnable credits across its 50 reward tiers.
• An exclusive Weapon Model customization: the Defiled Bulldog.
• If the Battle Pass is equipped while the Season is active, an extra Challenge slot and bonus Match XP during multiplayer matchmaking.

For 2,200 credits, players can purchase the Premium Battle Pass with all the benefits listed above and instantly unlock the next 15 tiers of the Battle Pass.

Prior to this update, purchasing a Premium Battle Pass Bundle would award a number of XP Grant consumables that had to be manually applied. Starting with the 2,200 credit offer in Season 5, the levels will now be automatically unlocked in the purchased Battle Pass and no XP Grants will need to be consumed. A new Premium Pass menu in-game illustrates the difference between the two Battle Pass offers.

OPERATIONS

Previous Halo Infinite Seasons featured limited-time themed “Events” that rotated in and out of the game. Starting with Season 5, Events are evolving into longer-running “Operations.” Like Events, the full reward track for Operations will be free for all players while they are active.

Operations feature a themed 20-tier reward track that will be available to all players for free during its 4-6 week duration. Unlike Events, players will have the following premium offers:

• For 500 credits:
  • Permanent access to the full Operation pass.
  • An exclusive customization item.
  • If the Operation Pass is equipped while the Operation is active, an extra Challenge slot and bonus Match XP during multiplayer matchmaking.
• For 2,000 credits:
  • Instantly unlock all 20 tiers of the Operation Pass.
  • An exclusive customization item (the same item included in the 500-credit offer).
  • If the Operation Pass is equipped while the Operation is active, an extra Challenge slot and bonus Match XP during multiplayer matchmaking.

Once the Operation’s 4-6 week window has concluded and it is no longer available for free, the Operation Pass will be accessible via the two premium offers outlined above.

Previously, players progressed through Event Passes by completing Event Challenges. Operation Passes, however, are progressed via Match XP like a seasonal Battle Pass.

Season 5 features two Operations:

• Combined Arms
• Active between November 14, 2023, and December 18, 2023.
• Free 20-tier Operation Pass featuring RHAKSHASA-themed rewards.
• Winter Contingency III
• Active between December 19, 2023, and the end of Season 5 in early 2024.
• Free 20-tier Operation Pass featuring holiday-themed rewards.

MATCH XP IN CUSTOM GAMES

Players can now progress their Battle Pass and Operation Passes by earning Match XP in Custom Games. Players will see their progress towards their Match XP daily cap displayed on the Custom Game screen before a match as well as on the Match Rewards menu displayed before the Post Game Carnage Report (PGCR).Your progress towards the Daily Cap for Custom Game XP is listed in the middle of the Custom Game lobby menu, below the match’s details.

• In the Boosts menu, a new Increase Level slider allows players to select how many levels to purchase.

As detailed in the “Forge Overview | Season 5” blog on Halo Waypoint, Forge players now have a new AI Toolkit to create and share experiences using Campaign AI in Forge. The AI Toolkit enables players to spawn AI, control where the AI navigates, change the AI’s team, and use a node graph to further modify AI behavior. Up to 32 AI units can be present on the map at one time. Marines fighting two Hunters on the new Forge canvas, Permafrost.

The Forge AI Toolkit contains 43 characters, which fall into the categories below:

• AI Drop Pod Spawner: a single AI unit is delivered to this location via a Drop Pod that falls from the sky.
• AI Phantom Spawner: up to 8 AI units disembark from a Banished Phantom that flies into the map at this location.

Once AI units are spawned, they can be redirected to a new area via the AI Move Zone object. Once the AI units arrive at the directed location, they will carry out normal AI behaviors via the Forge Nav Mesh.Foreground, left to right: the Drop Pod Spawner, the AI Spawner, and the AI Phantom Spawner. The AI Move Zone object is visible in the background. 

AI traits such as their weapon and squad behavior can be adjusted via the AI Spawner Object Properties menu in Edit mode. Additionally, players can create or edit AI waves, behaviors, and events via a node graph.

The following Tool Settings are available for AI unit testing in Edit Mode:

• Deathless: prevents the player from dying to AI-inflicted damage.
• Valhalla: prevents the player and all AI from dying, except for kill volumes and backsmacks.
• Undetectable to AI: AI units cannot detect players.

New Lighting Options

New properties and options have been added for lights in Forge:

• Minimal Roughness: a new slider ranging from 0 to 1 that adds roughness to the light, with 0 being no roughness and 1 being maximum roughness. Rough lighting may help improve an area’s fill lighting and ambient tones.
• Near & Far Begin: adjusting a light’s Near Begin will change how far from the source that light starts rendering. Adjusting the Far Begin will change the softness of the edge of the light.
• First Person Contact Shadows: up to 4 lights can now feature higher fidelity first person shadows. These higher fidelity first person shadows are not visible when playing with lower quality video settings on PC or Xbox One.
• Volumetric Fog Intensity: a new slider ranging from 0 to 1 that adjusts how a light interacts with the map’s fog. Setting this slider to 0 will disable interaction with fog.
• Area Lights: enabling the Area Light option in a light’s Object Properties allows players to adjust the radius and length of the light’s specular highlight.
• Gobo & Light Cone additions: Additional gobos and light cones are now available for use in Forge. Near Fade Start and Near Fade End options are now available for making further adjustments to these light objects.

  • Active Volume toggle: enable or disable the volume’s reflection volume.
  • Intensity: adjust how bright or dim the cube map is.
  • Origin: create an offset from the origin where the cubemap will be created.
  • Blend on Top: set 1 cubemap that will have a higher priority than any overlapping cube maps.
• Rotating OBBs: the Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) of a light can now be rotated on the X, Y, and Z axis. This will allow for better control of the lighting in maps, and for better performance management. 

Massless Children Prefab Property

Players can now set the “child” objects in a prefab to have no mass. For prefabs that are welded onto vehicles, this option will allow the prefab to have less of an impact on the vehicle’s handling. 

Object Collision Toggle

A new Object Collision toggle is now available for static Forge objects. This toggle enables objects to not collide with players or vehicles but will still collide with bullets and grenades. This will allow for small decorative objects to have less of an impact on player navigation and potentially reduce instances of desync.

Mouse and Keyboard Improvements

Mouse and keyboard controls in Forge now have the following new functionalities:

• Camera Pan: while holding the middle mouse button, drag the mouse to pan the camera.
• Plane Restricted Camera Movement: use the arrow keys to navigate through the map without adjusting the camera’s altitude.
• Node graph panning: players can now use the WASD keys to pan across the node graph menu.

BALANCE CHANGES

KNOWN ISSUES

With this update, the team has added multiple new issues to our Known Issues lists:

MULTIPLAYER

• The UTIL/PRO-Tek ComNet-2020 Shoulder Pads and the TAC/SCM-P Knee Pads for the Mirage IIC Armor Core appear as different armor pieces. An upcoming Halo Infinite patch will restore these armor pieces to their original appearance. 
  • While this issue is active, the bundles containing these items (the ComNet and Erinyes bundles) will be unavailable for purchase. The bundles will become available for purchase again once the items are restored to their original appearance. 
  • If you purchased the ComNet or Erinyes bundles while they displayed the incorrect appearances, the development team will be granting you the Credits you spent on purchasing this bundle. This grant will be completed after the hotfix update is released and it will not revoke your ownership of the bundle contents. Submit a ticket if you would like a Halo Support agent to reach out directly when this grant is complete.
• When first launching the Season 5: Reckoning update, the initial Battle Pass purchase menu may briefly show incorrect prices for both Premium Pass options. The correct prices will appear after a few seconds, and attempting to purchase either option while the incorrect price is shown will result in the correct amount of Credits being deducted.
• When using the Spawn in Vehicle option in a Custom Game session, the non-interactive intro sequence for the match will show the players’ Spartans standing on top of their vehicles.
• On Xbox One consoles or PCs with lower quality video settings enabled, Spartans may briefly appear to have solid black textures during a multiplayer match’s non-interactive intro sequence.
• If the settings listed below have been changed to a non-default value, they will revert back to their default value upon entering the Halo Infinite Campaign menu:
  • Event Feed Background Mode
  • Event Feed Background Opacity
  • 1.6x Zoom Level Sensitivity
• Customization changes may not be immediately visible to other Fireteam members in the multiplayer menus. On Xbox consoles, Fireteam members may briefly appear to revert to a default Spartan after completing a multiplayer match. This issue only occurs in the multiplayer menus and all equipped customizations will be visible in a multiplayer match.
  • Workaround: leaving the Fireteam, waiting for a few seconds, then rejoining the Fireteam will update your Spartan for Fireteam members.”
• When equipping customization items on an Armor Core in the Armor Hall menu, the preview tiles for the Utility and Knee Pad sockets may sometimes show the back side of that customization area.
• On Xbox One consoles or PCs with lower quality video settings enabled, the Perfect Circle helmet attachment may overlap with the Spartan’s helmet.
• Launching Halo Infinite then navigating to the Community tab and starting a Custom Game using a map file listed there may result in the Custom Game lobby starting with a different map selected.
  • Workaround: After launching Halo Infinite, navigate to the Custom Game lobby before selecting a community-made map file. 
• Occasionally, switching between the main menu’s tabs may result in missing lighting or effects in the Play tab.
• After restarting a Custom Game match via the pause menu, finishing the restarted Custom Game may result in the Post Game Carnage Report (PGCR) to display incorrect or missing match statistics. When this issue occurs, Match XP is not awarded. 
  • Workaround: Rather than restarting an in-progress Custom Game match, select the End Game option in the pause menu then start a new match. This will ensure that either match, if eligible, will grant Match XP.  
• In the Team Lineup tab of the Post-Game Carnage Report (PGCR), Observers will see a zoomed in view of the players’ Spartans.
• When leveling up a Battle, Event, or Operation Pass, the Season 4: Infection insignia may briefly be visible during the level up animation. This issue only affects Passes released after Season 4: Infection.
• The Woodlands Tradewinds vehicle coating does not apply to the M12 Warthog’s turret as intended.
• Weapon and equipment pickup prompts are not consistently visible for Survivors in Infection multiplayer matches.
  • Workaround: When this issue occurs, the weapon or equipment can still be picked up by the affected player.

• If a Survivor and Infected kill each other at the same time with melee attacks, the Survivor may receive a -10 Personal Score betrayal penalty.

FORGE

• The difficulty option for AI enemies in Forge-made maps lists the Bot levels ranging from Recruit to Spartan. In a future Halo Infinite update, this option will be updated to reflect the Easy to Legenday difficulty range used in Halo campaigns.
• The Weapon Trunk object cannot be placed directly on the ground or on top of another object when its Physics option is set to Fixed in the Object Properties panel.
• Several Primitive and Structure objects appear as expected when previewed, but their X, Y, and Z dimensions are increased by .02 when placed.

  • A future Halo Infinite update will restore the Unpublish button in the Version History menu. While this issue is active, players who want to unpublish an affected file must create a copy of the published file then delete the published version.

Halo Infinite Gameplay 

Halo Infinite is a thrilling first-person shooter, immersing players in the role of the iconic Master Chief as he wages a fierce battle against the alien Banished faction. Set within the expansive Zeta Halo, players navigate this open-world environment employing a combination of vehicles and an array of formidable weapons. To further empower Master Chief, special equipment such as the Grappleshot comes into play, allowing him to either close the gap to enemies swiftly, retrieve distant items, or traverse the challenging terrain.

Within the campaign mode, the semi-open world structure offers a captivating exploration of the vast Zeta Halo. Various regions, initially inaccessible and partitioned, await discovery. Throughout this breathtaking setting, players encounter Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) strategically placed for players to capture once cleared of adversaries. These captured FOBs serve as invaluable fast-travel hubs, enhancing convenience.

Players can also engage with numerous points of interest, including eliminating high-value targets, rescuing Marine squads, and dismantling Banished propaganda towers. Completing these side objectives not only deepens the narrative but also earns players Valor, which is then employed to requisition powerful weapons and vehicles that can be summoned from FOBs.

While the more linear environments present within the ring’s surface align with traditional Halo mission design, these “dungeons” significantly propel the storyline but can’t be revisited once accomplished. Exploring the environment unearths collectibles like audio logs, which enrich the narrative. A later update to the campaign provided players with the option to replay prior missions using the in-game TACMAP.

In December 2559, the UNSC ship Infinity arrives at Halo Installation 07. The ship is attacked by Banished dreadnoughts, leading to a one-on-one duel in which Master Chief is defeated by Atriox and thrown into space. Six months later, he’s rescued by a UNSC pilot, and they journey to Zeta Halo. On the ring, Master Chief encounters the Weapon, an AI with Cortana’s memories.

Zeta Halo is controlled by the Banished, led by Escharum after Atriox’s presumed death. Master Chief, the Weapon, and the Pilot rally UNSC forces and face the Banished. Inside the Conservatory, they encounter Despondent Pyre, the AI caretaker, but the Harbinger interrupts, revealing her alliance with the Banished to free her people. The Banished plan to use the repaired Halo as a weapon.

Master Chief defends the Pilot from Spartan killers, revealing that the Pilot was a civilian engineer who fled Infinity. As they stop Zeta Halo’s repair, the Weapon’s true nature as a copy of Cortana becomes evident. They reunite with the Pilot, who reveals his name as Fernando Esparza. In a post-credits scene, Atriox unlocks a sealed door leading to the Endless.

In a separate multiplayer narrative, Laurette Agryna joins the UNSC and eventually becomes a Spartan Commander. Spartans Eklund and Dinh discover the Banished have repurposed a UNSC depot and created their AI, Iratus. Iratus infects Dinh’s neural interface, but Agryna’s plan saves him. After Iratus is captured, Eklund and Dinh remain at the Academy, where they discover a secret ONI base entry. Iratus takes control of the base’s power systems, hinting at his quest for ONI’s secrets.
