Xbox Game Studios and 343 Industries have announced the arrival of Halo Infinite Season 4: Infection. The launch of the latest season brings players a host of new content to explore, including a fan-favorite game mode, a pair of new maps, a new 100-tier Premium Battle Pass, new equipment, five free events, and much more.
Developers want players to see the awesome content in the Premium Battle Pass. This paid battle pass never expires so players can work to earn all of the cosmetic rewards at their leisure.
Infection mode
Veteran players are undoubtedly familiar with this game mode. It is a well-loved way to tackle the game that offers a unique gameplay opportunity.
Here’s how developers describe it:
- Infection is a round-based mode where one team (Infected) converts enemy players (Survivors) to their team upon killing them.
- Each round, a limited number of players are selected to be Infected—these are Alpha Infected, who have more aggressive Iratus-themed effects applied to them. Those they kill are converted to Beta Infected.
- Survivors begin with limited supplies, meaning they’ll have to acquire additional weapons, equipment, and ammunition from the map. Their objective is to survive until the end of the round.
- The goal of the Infected is to eliminate all Survivors. The last Survivor (the Last Spartan Standing) has special traits applied to them, such as Overshield and infinite ammo, but a nav point will reveal their location to all Infected.
