Those looking forward to the Halo Infinite beta, 343 Industries has announced that the time is almost here, though it’ll be limited in scope, and it’ll focus on bots given it’s a new addition to the game.

According to 343, the Halo Infinte Flighting (beta) will focus on bots and Weapon Drills, as these two are brand new additions to the franchise.

This technical preview is intentionally focused on these specific areas to help us gather some scale data as we bring these new experiences to Halo for the first time. As we look further ahead, we plan for future flights to expand into more content including traditional PVP Arena and Big Team Battle.

With this and our higher-level feedback goals noted up above, we land on the following specific focal points. With this in mind, the focus areas for our technical preview are:

• Arena gameplay vs. Bots
• Arena Maps
• Academy’s Weapon Drills
• Menu & Battle Pass UI
• New Waypoint experiences on web, iOS, and Android

To gather specific feedback on these areas, our first flight will contain the following content and experiences.

BOT ARENA

Halo Infinite is the franchise’s first foray into the world of multiplayer Bots. To provide a totally new multiplayer experience for players and to gather feedback on Bot behavior and online performance, we’ll be debuting the Bot Arena playlist, which puts 4 players against 4 Bots on Arena maps.

For this technical preview, the Bot Arena experience will feature Slayer across three maps in this build:

•  Bot Slayer on Bazaar, Recharge, and Live Fire

To keep players on their toes and keep the experience engaging, we’re planning for a daily content offering that will evolve over the course of the flight based on the overall engagement of participants. We’re going to intentionally start things off slow to help everyone get acclimated but as the community gets up to speed and slays copious amount of Bots our goal is to crank things up to provide greater challenge and variety.

Bot Arena is a great place to familiarize yourself with Halo Infinite’s gameplay and maps in a stress-free environment. The Bots still have their quirks, which is why we’re flighting them, but they certainly aren’t pushovers. Be prepared.

Aside from bots, another new addition to Halo multiplayer is Infinite’s upcoming Academy Weapon Drills. This will offer players a new way to learn how each weapon works before fighting it out against other players. Players will be able to test it against bots for target practice, and there will be different levels of difficulty and a star rating system.

In the upcoming Halo Infinite beta debut,  343 is planning to include the following subset of Weapon Drills:

• MA40 AR
• BR75
• MK50 Sidekick
• CQS48 Bulldog
• Needler
• VK78 Commando
• S7 Sniper
• Plasma Pistol
• Pulse Carbine
• Ravager
• Heatwave
• Skewer
