Halo Infinite’s first event, Fracture: Tenrai, begins later today and will run for one week. We know that the Fracture: Tenrai event will return several times throughout Season 1 and we finally have a start time for the first multiplayer event. As part of the event you’ll be able to get your hands on the Yoroi armor set as well as various other cosmetics from the event pass, so let’s take a look at the details around the event.
Halo Infinite Fracture: Tenrai start time
The Fracture: Tenrai event begins on November 23 and will end on November 30. It will have a separate event pass for rewards that will run concurrently with the regular and premium battle pass. It’s free and will be available for all Halo Infinite players. More information about upcoming events is coming when Halo Infinite launches on December 8.
For now, let’s get back to the Fracture: Tenrai event. You can expect to join in the fun today from the following times:
- 10 am PT
- 1 pm ET
- 6 pm GMT
- 7 pm CET
What can you unlock in the event?
The event pass—which is 100% free—will net you stuff on 30 different tiers. However, 343 Industries has put a weekly progression limit on it, so you won’t be able to unlock everything on this go around. Instead, you’ll have to return for future instances of the event to grab up everything on offer.
Specifically, you’ll be able to get your hands on the Yoroi armor set, inspired by Japanese traditional armors, along with some other goodies like XP boosts and weapon skins.
What game modes are in the event?
We hope you like Slayer, because the event is a giant pile of Slayer-only on a variety of maps. You’ll also be experiencing the Fiesta playlist, where you can expect 4v4 gameplay with random weapons and equipment each respawn. Cross your fingers, watch for Active Camouflage and Overshield powerups, and press the advantage when the other team is down a player or two.
It’s likely that servers are going to get pretty busy, so expect to queue for a while. Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is still in its beta and will be for some time, so expect a few crashes and issues here and there. They’ve held up well so far considering it was a shadow drop, so I’m hopeful that it’ll be a relatively smooth launch.
