Halo Studios has released a new festive event for Halo Infinite, titled “Operation: Snowbound.” The event will go on until January 7. It will include 1v1 Showdown, Snowball Fight mode, a free 20-tier pass, festive fits, and more.
Check out the trailer for Operation: Snowbound, available now in Halo Infinite, below:
Halo Studios describes the new features as follows:
Whether you’re looking to settle amicable disagreements in a civil fashion, or seeking to put your skills to the test, you’ll want to step into the 1v1 Showdown playlist!
Go head-to-head with other Spartans on small slices of some familiar maps, with identical randomized weapon and equipment loadouts, leaving the outcome to pure skill.
Of course, this time of year is all about having fun and enjoying yourselves, so if you want to enter the 1v1 arena with a friend, you can absolutely party up with them and duke it out against each other in matchmaking.
Operation: Snowbound brings a free new 20-tier Operation Pass, featuring the Infractor armor set.
Covert infiltrators, deft assassins, and expert reconnaissance units, the Infractor armor is based on the Jiralhanae Stalkers encountered in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. There’s no stronger look for putting your foes on ice.
Not even Spartans are immune to the festive fun found in a good snowball fight!
Coming later in the Operation, the Snowball Fight mode will be playable across Snowbound, Snow Ground, and Snow Fire.
This mode trades out your weapons for an infinite number of plasma grenades. How’s your throwing arm? By the end of the Holidays, nobody’ll be better at getting grenade sticks than you!
