Halo Infinite Season 5 Extraction Game Mode Guide

• A neutral Extraction Site appears on the map, where players must enter the site and plant their Extraction Device (all players have one) within its radius to begin the process of Extraction.
• Once an Extraction Device is planted, it is owned by that player and their team, and a timer will begin counting down to Extraction.
• Enemy players can interrupt the Extraction process, and even convert it to their team by interacting with the Extraction Device.
• If the opposing team successfully converts the Extraction Device, then the countdown timer will reset and the battle for that Site will continue until there is a successful Extraction.
• Whichever team successfully completes the Extraction process earns a point, after which a new neutral Extraction Site will appear elsewhere on the map.
• Simply put: players must deploy and protect Extraction Sites at different locations on the map to score points, the team with the most points wins.

Extraction Game Mode Variants

The players will be able to enjoy multiple variants of the Extraction game mode and will also have the flexibility to personalize settings for custom games.
