While many critics have been heard on the multiplayer part Hello infinity, 343 industry teams wanting to respond. After adding many game modes, the studio decided to address a rather important point: the in-game store: to get an item you have to spend a certain number of credits, which can only be bought with real money. If prices have started revising lower since Tuesday, another development is coming.
Unlockable Credits in Battle Pass
Indeed, Jerry Hook, Head Design on Halo infinity
Thanks to your continued feedback, we are pleased to confirm that Credits can be earned in the Season 2 Battle Pass. This means you can earn credits as part of your Halo Infinite progression. We’ll have more to share as we get closer to Season 2.

We don’t currently know if unlocking credits is reserved for the paid Battle Pass or if it will be possible to earn credits without purchasing the Season Pass. More information will be announced closer to Season 2, which is currently slated for May 2022 with co-op.
Big Team Battle mode still problematic, related challenges were removed on Tuesday
While matchmaking in Big Team Battle mode has been riddled with problems for a few weeks, a first patch was deployed this week. However, this did not have the expected effect.
Well damn… today’s BTB hotfix doesn’t seem to be the result we expected. There are minor improvements, but overall we still have matchmaking issues. Thanks to the people who worked hard and sorry this didn’t quite get the job done. The work goes on. https://t.co/lKiFibBDtT

As the Big Team Battle mode is currently barely playable for many players, the studio has decided to remove the challenges associated with this game mode at the next reset on Tuesday in order not to erase the current progress. This allows Spartans to progress each week without getting stuck with these issues or using challenge modifiers unnecessarily. As a reminder, there is currently an event taking place: Cyber Showdown. This gives access to Wear mode, also known as Attrition.
Halo infinity is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC via Microsoft store or steam.
