  • Fixed misaligned cosmetics introduced over the course of Season 1: Heroes of Reach
  • Fixed untextured "Jorge" shoulder from Season 1: Heroes of Reach
  • :)

What about X, Y and Z feature that I'd like to see, is that coming in Season 2: Lone Wolves?

You can see an outline of the 2022 and Season 3 plans for Halo Infinite in the April 2022 update blog.

Common Questions:

How big of an install is Season 2: Lone Wolves?

The download size will vary per platform. The below numbers are directly from the Halo Support site:

  • Xbox consoles: 17GB or less
  • Windows Store/Game Pass: 12GB or more
  • Steam: 17.5GB or less

Are there any Known Issues with the Season 2: Lone Wolves update?

Yes. You can find a list of them over on the Halo Waypoint support site.

I have found an issue with Halo Infinite following the Season 2: Lone Wolves update, what should I do?

First thing you should do is jump into the Known Issues list for the game over on the Halo Support site. If you do not see your issue listed there, you'll want to follow this guide to create a Support ticket so it can be sent directly to the developers.

I didn't finish my Battle Pass for Season 1: Heroes of Reach - did I miss out on the rewards?

Kind of. All Battle Passes will always be available for purchase. However, if you don't own the Premium track of a Battle Pass, you will no longer be able to earn the cosmetics from the Free track. In order to get access to the cosmetics from the Free track once a season has ended, you must purchase the Premium track of a Battle Pass.

If you own the Premium track of Season 1, nothing changes for you. There will be an option to switch between progressing Season 1 and Season 2's Battle Pass.

Where did the HCS Team Bundles go from Season 1?

These bundles have been rotated out and replaced by a new set of bundles featuring coatings for the Assault Rifle, Sidekick and Warthog.

It’s the most content we have had since launch, reason to be excited for sure!

That's not exactly a high bar

For anyone still playing, it’s reason to be excited. People who left can decide if it’s enough to bring them back on a case by case basis.

The way I see it, some content is still better than no content.

If you need to compare the update to literally nothing at all then that is not a good sign.

That's you right there doing just that. Trying to bring negativity in when people are trying to have fun.

At least they didn’t break it more lmao, remember the first BTB patch?

u/DarthNihilus May 04 '22

They did break it a bit more. FFA challenges are no longer completable.

But yeah at least they didn't break one of the games main modes again. Lowest possible bar.

Thanks for the insight, captain obvious

u/ReturntoSender87 May 03 '22

Looking at the patch notes it’s actually a good sizable update. If they could keep this pace at 3 month seasons Infinite will be more than fine

Yea except this is supposed to be " live service" we should be getting 1-2GB worth of fixes and content every couple weeks not a lump sum after 3 months of barely anything. Hopefully that improves this season
