This is the second week, and the rewards have been expanded in response to the first response. In response to the voices saying that even if you do your best to advance the challenge, general-purpose consumables instead of Tenrai limited items will come, we have added customization items that were originally planned to be sold at the shop for free, and have greatly expanded.

Fracture: Tenrai, which began at the end of November, is Halo Infinite's first multiplayer limited-time event. From the first week of November, it will be held once a week for a total of 6 weeks for a total of 6 times. This second week is from January 4th to January 10th (Japan time 11th).

The main story Halo is a Japanese-style parallel world "Tenrai", wearing "YOROI" trained by samurai with "Karakuri Arts", searching for honor and the seven stolen territories. It's a Microsoft-like setting of what the hell happened to shoot.

As a specific content, a 30-stage event pass that can be advanced only during the event appears. By playing the limited-time Fracture: Tenrai playlist and completing various challenges, you can earn free items. All items are only for customization of appearance, and it is the same as a normal battle pass that is irrelevant to the advantage or disadvantage of the battle.

According to the story, the samurai, who have been busy fighting, are supposed to unite and form an alliance against the invasion of the Covenant, but what they will do is shoot and slash each other as usual.

There are 30 stages of the event pass that can be unlocked in the challenge. As of the first week held in November, many of the 30 stages were general-purpose consumable items such as challenge swaps (exchanging weaker tasks for different content) and XP grants (experience gaining XP to advance the normal battle pass). , Tenrai's unique customization items such as YOROI armor cores and samurai-style emblems were only scattered.

According to the developer 343 Industries, there were many complaints from players about this mechanism, so the reward contents were changed significantly in the second week. Free rewards have been added, including items that were originally planned to be sold at the shop for a fee, and from the 10th stage onwards, everything will be an event-specific Japanese-style customized item.

(Items sold for a fee in the first week are not included.)

Furthermore, in the second week, the ease of progressing through the event path has also been improved. Challenges to complete in the Fracture: Tenrai playlist now appear more frequently than before. Even though it is the event period, it will improve the situation where it is difficult to progress due to only challenges unrelated to the progress of the event pass.

Also, previously there was a cap that could only progress up to 7 stages per week, but from this time on, it is possible to progress up to 10 stages per week.

The year-end "Winter Emergency" event could only be unlocked one stage per day according to the advent calendar, but if Tenrai felt like it, he could advance to the maximum of 10 stages for one week in one day. increase.

"Fracture: Tenrai" is scheduled to be held six times by May, including the second week, for a total of six weeks, so even if it starts in March, it will be the final stage if it is fully advanced. It is a calculation that you can get all of the "Swordsman's Belt" (three weeks in March, April, and May x 10 levels). Of course, it's better to proceed little by little in case you don't have time to play.

"Switching items that were originally planned to be sold for a fee to free of charge" is a very generous story, but that aside, the shop also has a limited amount of items for "Yoroi" armor cores.

This week we have the effect bundle "Enlightened Pass" where cherry blossoms scatter according to the action, the bundle "Black Steel Katana" such as scale-like decorations for assault rifles and samurai-style emblems with hats, and the "Emperor" attached to the helmet. such as the Imperial Crest and the Meditating State bundle of magatama-inspired weapon charms.

Flat-rate service Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play the campaign at no additional cost, and there are benefits such as discounts on credits for billing items. If you have an all-inclusive plan Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can play cloud gaming on your smartphone.
