The Halo Infinite challenge system is a core part of how Spartans earn the XP necessary to level up their battle passes throughout the course of a season.
But beyond just the XP that weekly challenges provide, Halo Infinite adds an additional layer to the system to incentivize players to complete all of their challenges each week: the Ultimate Reward.
Players who complete all of their challenges in any given week and then finish a final capstone challenge can earn a free piece of cosmetic loot.
The free reward rotates every week, and only rarely do these cosmetics have the chance to return at a later date. If an Ultimate Reward catches your eye, it’s important to log on and get to grinding before you miss your opportunity to add it to your collection.
Halo Infinite weekly Ultimate Reward (March 28, 2023)
This week’s Ultimate Reward in Halo Infinite is a new visor for your Spartan: Puzzle Palace. This is one of the more unique visors that has been offered via the Ultimate Rewards, with a more explicit design to the pattern running across it rather than just a different material finish. It’ll be a harder visor to make work with most fits, but you’ll stand out from the crowd with the right coating and helmet combination paired with it.
Halo Infinite now entering its third season means that new rewards once again take center stage in the Ultimate Reward loot pool, compared to the recycled rewards that were used during the game’s Winter Update period.
The developers said during a shorter update cycle focused on quality-of-life that they wanted to give players the opportunity to pick up free cosmetics they might have missed from previous weeks, but season three brings back all of the free goodies being new for all players. The rewards are also now easier to obtain thanks to the number of weekly challenges being trimmed down from 20 to 10.
The weekly Ultimate Reward can be anything, ranging from weapon coatings and player stances to charms and new Spartan armor coatings.
343 devs said before season two’s launch that they wanted Halo Infinite‘s Ultimate Rewards to feel like a worthy prize for the time invested into the weekly challenges, and the devs have made strides to make the rewards more regularly impactful in Lone Wolves–fewer emblems and backdrops, more of the stuff players want.
During events such as Fractures or seasonal celebrations, the weekly reward can also be themed around that event, whether that’s armor pieces or coatings specific to a core introduced through the Fracture, or just a weapon charm inspired by iconography from that event.
Complete all of your weekly challenges and the capstone challenge prior to the daily reset on Tuesdays at 1pm CT to acquire the Ultimate Reward.
