Halo Infinite is approaching its Spring Update, bringing with it the Operation Frontlines Battlepass and weapon tuning galore.
Halo Infinite is gearing up for its Spring Update, providing players with the new Operation Frontlines. This comes with plenty of content, including a new Battlepass and weapon adjustments based on feedback from the community. There's a lot of information that came in from a developer live stream that we've gathered here for you.
When is the Spring Update and Operation Frontlines in Halo Infinite?
You won't have to wait long if you want to dive into Operation Frontlines as part of the Halo Infinite Spring Update. The anticipated update goes live very early in February.
On February 4, 2025, everyone can download the new update absolutely free. When that happens, you can check out everything that arrives in the game.
New Battlepass, shop offerings, and more with Operation Frontlines in Halo Infinite
The way Battlepasses work is not changing. You can purchase it at any time before the operation ends to unlock it permanently, meaning you can finish it after the operation's completion. And it still comes with a free 20-tier track, but now the premium versions has 50 tiers to unlock.
Instead of just one full armor set, there are now four armor sets in the premium Battlepass with Operation Frontlines and the Halo Infinite Spring Update. What's more is that these are going to be future shop offerings that you can get much cheaper by purchasing the pass.
As well, free items from Battlepasses will end up in the Exchange once a new season begins. The premium version, yes, comes at an increased cost, but it is only doubled from previously and gives more than half the prior Battlepass content.
Lastly, in terms of cosmetic content, a new shop arrives with the Operation. It has a lot of ODST items for fans of that entry in the series. And we are sure there's quite a few of you out there. So, check those out for purchase when the update launches.
