343 Industries continues to improve upon the foundations ofHalo Infinitewith regular updates, and Season 3: Echoes Within is making battle pass and shop changes based on fan feedback. Because of the criticism theHalo Infinitemultiplayer faced on launch and shortly after, 343 Industries is making changes that some players have been asking for, including the aforementioned battle pass and shop tweaks.
EachHalo Infiniteseasonal battle pass brings tons of new cosmetics to the FPS game, and that’s no different with the regularly rotating shop, but the upcoming changes may streamline the experience a bit better. WhenHalo Infinitewas released in 2021, it introduced a new type of battle pass that gamers hadn’t seen before which allows players to continually progress through the Season 1 offerings even in Season 3. Though this was met with wide praise acrosstheHalo Infinitefan base, some players had criticisms for the 100-tier track that have been heard by the developers.

TheHalo InfiniteSeason 3: Echoes Withinbattle pass will differ from past ones in offering a fourth challenge slot, and perpetual bonus XP as long as it’s active during the season. The two new ways to earn experience and progress through the battle pass are seemingly changes that have been implemented due to other seasons feeling like a slog for someHalo Infiniteplayers. On top of these Season 3 battle pass features,Halo Infiniteplayers will automatically unlock the Redsteel Splinter armor coatings and 1,000 credits upon purchasing it, with a premium one offering even more.
TheHalo Infiniteshop is one of the in-game features that’s received some criticism, and Season 3 will be ensuring that the menu layout will at least remain consistent throughout the season. Beyond that, 343 Industries has also confirmed that there will be more items shown off across the season compared to prior ones, and it will have a half-week slot that refreshes on Tuesdays and Fridays, while the daily rotation remains in other slots. Better value bundles than Season 1 and 2 will also be offered in Season 3, with 343 Industries introducing a new one called “super bundles” which may be ideal for new players looking tocustomize theirHalo InfiniteSpartans.
Because slow experience gains and limited in-game shop selections have been concerns ofHalo Infinitefans in the past, Season 3: Echoes Within may draw in some of the lapsed players. Season 3 is also bringing with itnewHalo Infinitemaps, game modes, the bandit rifle, and more which may breathe more life into the game for fans that are tired of repetitive maps and modes.
