The 2021 Halo title, Halo Infinite, has been getting regular content updates for the game with the latest update being number 29, released last month on the 31st. It was a significant update as it added new operations and armor cores, an arena map, and several other new features to the game.
The love for one of the classic Xbox titles hasn’t faded and even inspired a TV show titled Halo that went on-air on March 24, 2022. The show kept several elements true to the game while also adding some original ones, some of which are now being made available in the game.
Helmet and Visor Used in Halo TV Show Available in Halo Infinite
Paramount’s Halo TV show made its debut in 2022, with the first season lasting just nine episodes. The first season had mixed reviews for deviating a lot from the game. The second season started airing earlier this month and is set to have just eight episodes. Natasha Culzac plays Riz-028 in the show and dons a new-look helmet and visor in the show.
Halo Infinite gamers can acquire Riz’s Helmet and a red-tinted Visor which were donned by Riz-028 in the Halo TV show. The Helmet will require players to complete this week’s ultimate challenge. Players must get five sniper kills in a single match or get a No Scope medal in the game to unlock the Helmet while the visor can be acquired by simply logging into Halo Infinite.
Players were also given a chance to earn Kai-125’s helmet last week by completing the previous ultimate challenge, which has since expired. Fans will be waiting to grab more freebies and earn more collectibles, as seen on the TV show. With the second season underway, fans will hope it goes better than the first season.
This week’s challenge will expire soon, so fans who haven’t yet had a chance to collect the visor and earn the Helmet should do so before February 14th.
Shorter Operations Could Soon Replace Content Updates in Halo Infinite
In a recent Halo Infinite Community livestream update, it was revealed that future seasons may not be the same as developers are opting to release shorter, free Operations which will be scheduled to hit every four to six weeks.
This means players will get more free rewards, all of which will have a deadline before which players must claim them. Players who miss out on any of the free rewards can claim them by purchasing them from the in-game store.
Players will also get new Forge options that will give them new Covenant objects and buildings, as well as new alien fauna and the ongoing Flood-themed objects to be used in Forge. These will help players build custom map creations.
For the upcoming Spirit of Fire Operation, which will conclude the ongoing Season 5, players have the option to unlock a new skin for the Assault Rifle. Players can also expect more free cosmetics in future operations after Spirit of Fire concludes.
