What you need to know
- Halo Infinite’s latest Operation, Fleetcom, is now available, bringing a new pass for players to complete.
- Operation: Fleetcom is restoring the ability to grenade jump, a mainstay of the Halo franchise.
- The Headhunter mode from Halo: Reach is also being added at a later point during the Operation.
As a seasoned Halo enthusiast with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the latest Operation: Fleetcom for Halo Infinite has me more than just a little excited! The return of grenade jumping is like revisiting an old friend – it’s been sorely missed in recent iterations. And let’s not forget about the long-awaited comeback of the Ravager Rebound, which promises to bring back some nostalgic mayhem.
More iconic modes are coming back from across Halo’s history.
The live event titled “Halo Infinite Operation: Fleetcom” is now underway, offering a fresh challenge for gamers to conquer. Alongside this endeavor comes new visual rewards to acquire. As outlined on Halo Waypoint, this operation also introduces modifications to the reward system, allowing players to amass Spartan Points with each match they participate in. Introduced earlier this year, these Spartan Points can be utilized to purchase a rotating selection of returning cosmetics from the Exchange.
Initially, the Headhunter mode won’t be playable as soon as this Operation starts. This mode, which was first introduced in Halo: Reach, allows players to collect skulls from defeated enemies. If a player dies in combat, their own skull will drop. As of now, we don’t have an exact timeframe for when Headhunter will become accessible, but it is promised to arrive “soon.”
