Halo Infinite is finally getting a Slayer playlist next week

SLAYER, SWAT AND MORE WILL JOIN HALO INFINITE’S MULTIPLAYER SUITE SOON

Halo Infinite will soon receive a new playlist update which includes Slayer, it has been revealed.

In a Reddit post by 343 Industries developer u/ske7ch343, they revealed that the Slayer only playlist is “officially locked and loaded for the update next week”.

They went on to reveal that four new playlists, Slayer, Fiesta, FFA and Tactical Slayer (SWAT) will also be added to the game on Tuesday, December 14.

The post also revealed that further changes were coming to the challenge system.

“Next week’s update will also include adjustments to challenges including removing some particularly frustrating mode-specific ones, reducing some requirements for others, making the weekly ultimate challenge less intensive”.

He continued: “Personally I’m eager to check out a new challenge category that’s based on accumulating player score (a small initial step towards ‘performance-based XP’). We’ll have some more details to share on Halo Waypoint next week.”

It was recently uncovered that several hidden modes for Halo Infinite’s multiplayer could be accessed by playing the game offline.

The full list of hidden game modes are:

• Arena: Attrition

• Arena: Attrition Dodgeball

• Arena: Elimination

• Fiesta: Attrition

• Fiesta: CTF

• Fiesta: One Flag CTF

• Fiesta: Strongholds

• Ranked: Elimination

• Ranked: One Flag

• Tactical: Slayer

• Tactical: Slayer Commandos

• Tactical: Slayer Manglers

• Tactical: Slayer Sidekicks

• Tactical: Slayer Stalker Rifles

It’s currently unclear when the rest of these games modes will cycle into the online multiplayer portion of the game. Fiesta Slayer, a version of Slayer in which players spawn with a random weapon each time was recently introduced as the game’s first limited-time mode.

A reveal trailer for the upcoming Paramount Plus Halo TV show was recently revealed at The Game Awards.

Set to debut on Paramount Plus next year, the trailer showed off various Spartan armour sets, the Pelican ship and a closer look at Master Cheif’s iconic armour.
