Halo Infinite developers looking into battle laissez passer grind

Ed reckons he'll be 80 years quondam past the time he hits level 100

Developers 343 Industries surprise-launched Halo Infinite'south multiplayer this week on Xbox's 20th birthday, and then far it seems that folks are finding it fairly fun to play. Just a lot of players accept one major grievance: the battle pass is a massive grind. Complaints almost challenges that award very little XP are all over the game's subreddit. Fortunately, the devs have seen this feedback, and are already looking into the slow progression.

To level up Infinite's battle pass, y'all need to complete daily and weekly challenges to earn XP. Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't get much XP at all for doing these, and to make matters worse, you don't even get XP from merely completing games (which is an odd omission, most every other shooter I can think of gives you lot an amount of post-friction match XP depending on your performance).

Our ain Ed Thorn has been playing this week, and I was curious how far up the battle laissez passer he'd managed to get. Reader, it is non far. Ed tells me:

"Nigh 4 hours of large team contesting last night got me to – drum ringlet delight – level 3 of Halo Infinite's battle pass. And the challenges I've got to consummate are heed-numbing. Go a kill with this weapon, so iii with this one. What does all this effort amount to? Maybe i level, if you're lucky. I will be an 80 year old living inside an Eden Projection on Mars by the time I hit level 100."

A whole thread on the Halo Space subreddit is dedicated to battle pass progression feedback. Some players say they've had to play upward of 12 hours just to reach level 5, and others have concerns that this organization encourages an "unhealthy playstyle", where players are just trying to complete challenges, rather than properly play the objective.

Information technology's worth noting that Halo Infinite is still in beta right at present though, with its full release still set for December 8th. And then, in that location'southward still plenty of time for changes to be made. The developers have seen the feedback most the boxing pass as well, so hopefully tweaks are on the fashion.

"FYI the team is looking at Battle Laissez passer progression and gathering data from yesterday'southward sessions and we'll share updates as we accept them," customs director Brian Jarrard tweeted yesterday. "Please proceed to share feedback and raise flags every bit you see them."
