Touchdown, hit it marines! The 2025 Spring Update for Halo Infinite begins with Operation: Frontlines.
Get your gauntleted hands on the Fuel Rod SPNKr, a new weapon for Halo Infinite based on an old Covenant favorite—now repurposed by the Banished.
Fashion your Spartan with the finest flair in the brand-new Operation Pass, a vastly expanded offering for the first Operation of each major Update that now brings 50 tiers of customization rewards. Give the enemy team back their bomb as the classic Assault mode returns, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg…
Let’s dive into what’s live in Halo Infinite today with the arrival of Operation: Frontlines.
Fuel Rod SPNKr
It’s not just old Covenant technology that the Banished ravenously repurpose and reforge into their own tools of domination, but the UNSC’s as well.
Introducing the Fuel Rod SPNKr, a rocket launcher that has been heavily modified by the Banished and fires Venezian-repackaged fuel rod munitions.
The Fuel Rod SPNKr works great against vehicles—its six-shot magazine makes it effective against a wide range of targets.
You will be able to find the Fuel Rod SPNKr as a power weapon on maps, but if you want to get to grips with this new take on a Covenant classic you can jump into the Academy’s Training mode—or spawn it in Forge for some custom games.
Operation Pass
Halo Infinite’s Operation Pass has evolved!
After tracking community feedback about Operation Passes over the last year, we are exploring a new format for players to earn more customization goodness for even more value.
For the first Operation of each Update, there will be an expanded Premium Operation Pass which contains 50 tiers of rewards and four full armor sets.
For the following two Operations in an Update, the Operation Passes will be the traditional 20-tier offering that players experienced in 2024.
Free Pass
As before, if you’ve been enjoying the free Operation Pass, your experience is largely unchanged. During the time the Operation is live, you will be able to earn 20 tiers of free rewards, including one full armor set.
Premium Pass
The price of the Premium Operation Pass has been slightly adjusted for this offering as it’s been expanded from 20 to 50 tiers, and from one complete armor set to four, providing the following options:
- 1,000 Credits: The Operation Pass is durable, offers bonus XP, provides an extra Challenge slot, and immediately gives you multiple bonus items. Provides the ability to earn four full armor sets.
- 2,500 Credits: All of the above, and instantly unlocks the first 20 levels out of 50.
The Premium Pass is only available for purchase during the time the Operation is live, and will no longer be available for purchase once that month-long window has closed. If you miss out on purchasing any Premium Operation Pass going forward but want the customization content it offered, you will be able to find it in the Shop at a later date (and at an adjusted price).
Likewise, the armor set from the Free Pass will flow into The Exchange and return at a later date where players will be able to acquire that armor with Spartan Points (earned simply by completing matches).
For a full breakdown on all the details of the new Operation Pass format, be sure to check out our Spring Update blog!
Secure the Premium Pass for access to all 50 tiers and instantly unlock the BR75A2 Hammer weapon model for the BR75 Battle Rifle, Xenothreat weapon coating, Sequence Assembly weapon charm, and Pattern Seeker visor.
Mode: Assault
The Assault mode—a fan-favorite since Halo 2—is en route to Halo Infinite!
Each team defends their bomb site as they battle over a neutral bomb in the center of the map, aiming to escort the intrepid and heroic bomb carrier to the enemy base to arm and detonate it.
Of course, Assault is a mode that comes with multiple variants as well. When it arrives with the Spring Update, you’ll be able to play both Neutral Bomb and One Bomb.
For more information on this returning mode, head over to our Assault Playlist blog!
Additonal Updates
As the first Operation of the Spring Update, there’s a whole lot more that has come with Frontlines!
Sandbox updates have tuned various weapons and grenades, as well as movement; the Ranked experience has been refreshed, bringing some changes to existing maps along with the return of Halo 5’s fan-favorite Coliseum; and Forge has received some updates as well.
Jump into our Spring Update blog for all the details!
The Exchange
The Exchange has been refreshed and contains various customization rewards for players to acquire with Spartan Points.
