FIREFIGHT: KOTH (LEGENDARY)

There won't be any Holidays if we don't stop the Banished.

Firefight: Legendary King of the Hill has arrived! You know the drill: you'll be battling waves of Banished enemies across a variety of maps, including the House of Reckoning from Halo Infinite's campaign, but those looking to test their mettle can jump into the action on Legendary for a limited time. Fight hard. Die well.

MATCH XP, CAREER RANK, & CHALLENGES

We're improving the experience for folks who love Firefight and want to spend their time fighting the Banished. First, Match XP (Battle Pass) payouts for some hill completions in Heroic and Legendary will be incrementally higher to reward the level of challenge. And secondly, both Heroic and Legendary will also have slightly increased Career Rank payouts thanks to an Applied Score modifier to ensure they align more closely with other playlists. Last, but certainly not least, the Challenges offered each week will be adjusted to better serve the PvE experience. Since we are leveraging existing Challenges, that will means folks may see similar Challenges in their given deck for the foreseeable future.

SQUAD BATTLE IN THE COMBAT WORKSHOP

Try out our updated networking model in Squad Battle through the Combat Workshop playlist! The Squad Battle experience you know and love has been updated to run on our new networking model for a limited time.
