Tactical Ops is jam-packed with new game modes, challenges and rewards. We've broken down everything you need to know about the new event.
Halo Infinite Tactical Ops Game Modes
The Tactical Ops playlist gives Spartans the chance to experience old-school Tactical gameplay. This means no grenades, shields, radars, or battle rifles; replicating more hardcore-style gameplay.
The playlist will mix things up in the forthcoming weeks by offering variations that restrict players to using certain weapons:
- Tactical Slayer
- Tactical Slayer Commandos
- Tactical Slayer Sidekicks
- Tactical Slayer Stalker Rifles
- Tactical Slayer Manglers
Halo Infinite Tactical Ops Challenges
Tactical Ops has a range of challenges that are exclusive to the playlist. However, it's important to note that only objectives attached to an orange star banner will count towards progressing players towards event rewards.
