Halo Infinite’s season 2 brings a mini battle royale mode

After a bit of radio silence from 343 regarding Halo Infinite updates, players are finally getting more ways to play with the introduction of four new and returning playlists. These added game modes come as the main draw of Season 2, which is called Lone Wolves.

Halo Infinite | King of the Hill, Land Grab, Last Spartan Standing, & Elimination – Season 2 Preview

Halo Infinite‘s next season is coming on May 3, and it brings King of the Hill, Land Grab, Elimination, and Last Spartan Standing modes to the game. Along with this mix of old and new playlists, 343 is throwing two new maps, Catalyst and Breaker, into the mix.

While the classic modes like King of the Hill may be familiar territory, Last Spartan Standing is new and something players have been asking for since Infinite‘s release. The playlist basically places players into a mini 12-player battle royale, complete with shrinking zones and the added bonus of weapon upgrades based on kill count.

Along with that upgrade perk, Halo Infinite‘s battle royale also gives players access to five respawns. While this is to make up for the mode being confined to 12-players, it may not go down well with those who were hoping for a traditional battle royale single-elimination experience.

Halo Infinite players have been upset by the lack of updates for the game since its launch, believing the game was released unfinished and has been on a steady downturn due to 343 and its lack of community contact. Hopefully, Season 2 and its new content can help rectify those concerns.

Halo Infinite Season 2, Lone Wolves, launches May 3.

Forge has finally come to Halo Infinite, allowing players to craft their own PvP maps and share them with others. But this time around, your new capabilities – particularly the grappling hook – mean that Forge maps can be much more creative (and challenging). Of course, others love Forge because they can find their favorite maps from Halos past, now recreated to enjoy again.

Don’t worry – we’ve picked both new and old fan favorites for our list, along with where you can download these Forge maps. Take a look and try them out for your holiday gaming sessions! When you download, note which modes the maps are designed to support, because your PvP options may be limited in some cases.
