Halo Infinite Will Introduce Slayer Playlist in Next Update

Halo Infinite has received some criticism recently over the lack of multiplayer playlists. Well, the Slayer-only playlist is “officially locked and loaded for the update next week,” according to a Reddit post by 343 Industries developer u/ske7ch343.

Updates Coming to Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer Playlists

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

The post also hinted at more modifications to the challenge system on the way.

“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.”

“Personally, I’m eager to check out the new challenge category based on accumulating player score (a small initial step toward ‘performance-based XP’),” he continued. Next week, we’ll have additional information to share on Halo Waypoint.”

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 presently unknown when the remaining game modes will cycle into the game’s online multiplayer mode. As the game’s first limited-time mode during the Fractured Tenai event, Fiesta Slayer, a variation of Slayer in which players spawn with a random weapon each time. This is a good mode for adding some fun diversity, but not for those wanting a more competitive experience.
