While other titles might steal the spotlight, Halo Infinite remains a vibrant battleground, thanks to ongoing content updates from its dedicated development team. The latest addition, S&D Extraction, is a new competitive game mode that promises a fresh and strategically deep experience for players.
Inspired by Valve's iconic Counter-Strike, S&D Extraction brings its own unique flair to Halo Infinite. This mode pits two teams of four against each other: one team assumes the role of attackers, tasked with planting a device at a designated point, while the other team defends. After each round, the roles switch, adding an extra layer of strategy. The goal? Win six rounds to claim victory.
What sets S&D Extraction apart is its comprehensive economic system. At the start of each round, players can purchase equipment using in-game currency earned through completing objectives. The prices of these items are dynamic, fluctuating based on performance. However, all gear vanishes at the end of each round, forcing players to strategize their spending wisely. Item costs reflect their in-round effectiveness and power, with more potent gear naturally commanding higher prices. Expect cheaper options early on, with costs rising mid-match, and potentially even steeper prices toward the end for those who save their earnings. Additionally, players have the option to pay for a respawn after being eliminated, adding another strategic dimension to the gameplay.
Set to launch in 2025, S&D Extraction aims to deliver a dynamic and engaging competitive experience that will captivate Halo Infinite fans and keep them coming back for more.
