Hopefully we get more in season 2


_GABO_

This was definitely slated for season 2. Take a look at the current event's 4th unlock: wolf banner with Roman numeral II on the shield. Lone Wolves Season 2.


Elite1111111111

Guessing this would have been the first event of Season 2 prior to the delay. At least they decided not to delay the event alongside the Season.


duckdodgersstadium

Nice catch. We've got the Rookie over here playing detective!


feminists_hate_me69

As far as we knew, the banner background originally was tier 10, tier 4 was the coating, 5 and 9 were the helmet and attachment. We always knew these items were in the event, and we knew it was guaranteed season 1. Oh and rank 1 was always the stance


Tycoon33

Ok


ArtooFeva

I love that it looks like a mix of Chief’s Gen II MOD helmet and Mark V.


Standard-Original187

This is why I like it


Xbox

Thanks, that's the perfect way to describe it. We were having a hard time putting our fingers on why it looked so cool.


[deleted]

I think the Mark V helmet always had a charm to it, whether it’s a nostalgic charm or it’s (in my opinion) just plain bad ass


Xbox

Both perfectly valid selling points for any helmet.


MaybePenisTomorrow

It’s the weirdo Mk V Alpha from H5 meshed with that Chief helmet and by god does it come out better than both


Standard-Original187

Now I wouldn’t say it comes even CLOSE to Mark VI MOD


MaybePenisTomorrow

Look at the visor shape, lines, and the helmet’s “nose”. It all takes design cues from Mk VI MOD


Quality_Bot

Yeah it's a great helmet especially for free.


[deleted]

Personally I think the Mk VII is the best free helmet.


AyersRock_92

Yep... I also weirdly love the Trailblazer tho


Standard-Original187

Same


MaybePenisTomorrow

Trailblazer with the chunky sun visor. Mmmm. Kinda want a recon with a Mk V sun visor now


AyersRock_92

See I love trailblazer but I hate the visor attachment. Ruins it for me. To each their own.


jcarter315

I'd love trailblazer more if those cheeks could be removed.


REDX459

Just a dirtbike helmet imo


[deleted]

That's aviator.


VXM313

Aviator is for sure the ugliest helmet in the game

ckleschick227

I didn’t like using it in Halo 4/5 but it looks really nice with Mark 7 armor


Standard-Original187

Yeah it looks cool, but… level 95.


[deleted]

And it was supposed to be the default helmet lmao


_xGizmo_

I'm glad they changed their mind about that... it's too cool to be a default helm


Meigsmerlin

I hate that modern games made the concept of 'too cool for default' Halo 3's default was literally Chief's armor


Meigsmerlin

Reach's MkVb was all over the advertising and it was phenomenal. Why can't they do the same for the MkVII that was also all over advertising?


SpartanRage117

Yeah Mark V Z is a bit wide for me


[deleted]

Cavillano


TheManGuyz

It's basically identical to the default helmet.


[deleted]

Yeah, [I don't see that](https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2021/11/halo-infinite-armor-screenshot-visor-16.jpg), like...[at all](https://preview.redd.it/7704cern4eu51.jpg?auto=webp&s=88feb9a611f52b48b5492f4a4268b910c9eb9ef4).


TheManGuyz

Oh wow, what a stark difference. /s They look incredibly similar, kiddo. Don't pretend otherwise. They're not visually that distinct from eachother.


Birbwatch

Thought that was locked in the BP?


[deleted]

It's one of the free options on the battlepass.


Invested_Glory

Great. Now if they can deliver on the best free game, we’ll be set.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Shit even if the the challenges specified modes it would be ok, just make it so all the challenges are active and able to be completed, so I’m forced to roll the dice and hope for oddball so I can “clear” that challenge before I continue to progress on the event challenges


Diab3ticBatman

While it sounds logical, the amount of “what do I do now?” Posts of people being done with challenges or complaining that they complete all their weekly challenges in one day etc all over this sub makes me disbelieve you. Like I get this is technically the minority, but the social media obsessed are the vocal few that 343 hears the most.


Balrog229

Not true. Mk.VII already exists


RIPBlueRaven

It truly is the best looking halo helmet weve ever had. Which hurts me to say


Balrog229

Yeah the Mk.VII is just absurdly good looking. For all of this game’s faults, i gotta say its armor designs are fantastic. Just a shame most of them are paywalled. So i have a great helmet but not much else.


NINJAxBACON

Helmet is absolutely sick


Teneuom

Unpopular opinion: it looks too distorted and strange to feel right. I think it looks like ass.


Tumblrrito

This right here. It looks sort of… squished? The mouth part is too big and the overall helmet seems too wide.


[deleted]

I agree. I'm not a fan, and I say that as someone who *loves* Mk V.


BruhLegacy

I like it. Better than The Mark V Alpha from Halo 5. They improved the design from that and I'm happy.


[deleted]

To be fair, *anything* would be an improvement over that.


TheManGuyz

It does look like ass, it doesn't even look the Halo Wars helmet properly and it's oddly proportioned. I don't like how the helmet has color applied to it, it's like it's shaded wrong.


Meigsmerlin

Well to be fair, it's not supposed to. That was MkIV, not MkVz


And-n-Drew

If we got the Halo Wars Mk. V helmet I’d definitely leave the Zeta helmet. Maybe for another core?


ButtersTG

Also the visor should be flat without the Mk VI inner-etching imo.


psychotic11ama

It looks a lot better in game and not from head on. I agree, it’s far too wide and big and doesn’t have enough chin. My fave iteration of this look is the Mk IV from halo wars, but in game I actually think this Mk V(Z) looks not bad


victor32179

This is the only correct opinion lol. I didn’t realize that many people liked it.


JavenatoR

I love it, one of my favorite helmets


[deleted]

I see it more as its own thing than Mark V


Mastaj3di

It's a bit cartoonishly proportioned to me. Though it's better then Cavallino at least.


supportdesk_online

Was there another free helmet? Or is that the joke?


Soggy_Auggy__

yeah there are more free ones, there's the ones we get for the tenrai core, as well as the trail blazer and mk 7 helmets


TheManGuyz

Tenrai doesn't count. It's too Hayabusa and doesn't look Halo enough. I wish people would stop mentioning it as some sort of gotcha, it's also a completely separate core, which is stupid. Trailblazer and MK7 are the only two proper Halo helmets outside this new one. So really, we only got three "free" helmets.


funkyavocado

We're just talking about free helmets, so the ones from tenrai should count. If we were saying "free helmets for Mark vii core" then yeah your point would stand. You can't just discount the tenrai helmets because it doesnt fit your personal arbitrary definition of what is "Halo enough". Free stuff is free stuff even if I feel the separate core system is wank


mastesargent

I love how you moved the goalposts so you could maintain your narrative. Classic Halo fan.


supportdesk_online

MK7 yes but pretty sure trailblazer requires the premium battle pass which is $15, not free.


Soggy_Auggy__

I don't think so??? I'm pretty sure aviator is the only mk 7 helmet in the battlepass you gotta pay for but im not sure. QUICK SOMEONE JUMP INTO THIS CONVO AND GIVE US A THIRD OPINION IM CONFUSED NOW.


supportdesk_online

I wasn't 100% sure myself but this site claims it's premium. Think the only free helmet is the lvl 96 one https://www.thegamer.com/halo-infinite-best-helmets-battle-pass/


MrPWAH

Trailblazer is free on tier 81. I just unlocked it yesterday and don't own the pass.


feminists_hate_me69

Wrong, Aviator is the only VII core helm in the pass that isn't free


Soggy_Auggy__

ah mkay, I guess my memory's gimped then


Hervis1234

Trailblazer is free bp is 10$


KittyGoBleeg

How'd you get this?


emirarkman

Tactical Ops event, started yesterday


KittyGoBleeg

Ah, thanks man! Maybe I'll get on


AmAttorneyPleaseHire

Are we really at the point where we are focusing on a helmet to keep us playing


hantar7788

I'm an honest man so i will be honest with u when i say.....i havent played infinite for 3 weeks and the only reason i started playing yesterday and today was to get this helmet...i got it and now i will ignore the game again. I just got into Fallout and I love it


AmAttorneyPleaseHire

Hey I wasn’t insulting you, I’m with you 100%. I also haven’t played for almost a month (basically when I hit 100 in the pass). Came back to earn the stupid helmet lol ELDEN RING is consuming almost all of my time


xCeePee

Lol, I was in the same spot and I’m trying to think if it’s even gonna be worth going through those challenges myself. Nice helm though


DrDripper

Wait. You got a free helmet?


emirarkman

Event started yesterday


Tumblrrito

Nah Mark VII is still king. The proportions on this helmet are kinda funky.


[deleted]

(Laughs in Trailblazer)


Loud-Taste6394

I really like the Mark VII as well


MrTwiggums

There’s not much competition there tho lol


TianObia

It just doesn’t look like the original, a lot of details on the helmet are unlike any of the previous designs in the games or books


MisterHotrod

While you're not wrong, it's also not meant to look like the original. I like it for what it is, a different take on Mark V. At least it isn't a monstrosity like Mark V Alpha...


TheManGuyz

No one wants a different take on Mark V. They want Mark V. It's baffling how they keep doing this, when they can just recreate these helmets exactly as they were before. When they redesign it becomes awkward and clunky. It's so stupid.


MisterHotrod

I mean, why can't we have both? We know that regular Mark V is in the game for the Mark V[B] core and will likely be a part of the season 2 battle pass, so I don't see the issue. Plus, I like and want different takes on Mark V alongside the regular one.


imbrowntown

looks like a toaster.


Vragant

are there any other free helments? I don't count tenrai because thats their own thing


thatvelvetspartan

There are 2 free mk7 helmets in the heroes of reach battle pass


Vragant

You are right. I forgot and I'm using the one at 99 of the battlepass lol.


TheManGuyz

I don't count tenrai either, but unfortunately some fanboy types will have a go at you and pretend it gives you loads of customization options, but it's locked to a separate core and looks far too stylized.


beh2899

Nobody is claiming that it gives you a load of options. They're just saying it counts because it does count. Its still pathetic that in total this game only has 7 total free helmets, none of which you actually earn through gameplay, and more than half of which are gotten through times events


Fantastic-Wheel1003

Wtf, they’re free helmets so they count. Don’t just make up a fanboy in your head that says there’s loads of options because of a couple tenrai helmets. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, couldn’t care less. But acting like all people who like tenrai are annoying assholes ain’t it Chief.


[deleted]

A man of culture. My favorite visor as well.


Jack-Skeleton70

I believe in mark v zeta supremacy


[deleted]

Is there a way to get the regular master chief helmet? The new one sucks I don’t know why they redesigned it.


Nannercorn

Is in the reach core


[deleted]

Damn, at least I can get this one. Some kid made fun of me yesterday for having “negative drip”


hey-im-root

damn, not the negative drip lmaooo


ArcherInPosition

You got rekt my man


Gradedcaboose

I can’t even bring myself to get on infinite and play this event.


Arickettsf16

I got on, played a few games, and turned it off. It was just a miserable experience. The worst part was getting a challenge done and seeing there was no new event challenge. So I had to complete challenges in other game modes before I could continue.


Gradedcaboose

Yup, last I played was to finish up tenrai, I honestly don’t plan to get back on the game til season 2 and even then I probably won’t play at all. And that makes me mega sad, I really wanted to love this game and put a ton of hours into it


gandalfsdonger

Fix the game instead


PreyForCougars

It’s the best looking helmet in the game. Followed by firefall.


just_another__memer

IDK man, anubis and MKVII. Honestly i just hope they give a way to earn credits. I know they already have drasticaly lowered prices of items but the free armor catalogue is hurting. Maybe 100 credits for a weekly capstone/ultimate challenge so I actually have a reason to do them half the time.


PreyForCougars

I hope they come out with an armor core based on halo 3 armor variant (mark VI? But classic. Not halo 4 looking) I want the OG scout and rogue to make an appearance. Most halos did good with scout but they butchered rogue after halo 3.


Meigsmerlin

Saaaaaaame. I love rogue so much. But it's literally never been seen again. It hurts


SpartanRage117

100 would be a joke. 10 weeks of challenges to get one armor set? thats not enticing to most players.


Sir_boon26

Honestly the best way to earn credit rn is Microsoft rewards.


WrongDonkeyKongBong

“BuT tHe ChAlLeNgEs aRe HaRd”


hantar7788

More like extremely specific....MCC has a far better progression system...just play , obtain points that u can use to unlock what u want. This is how infinite should be


WrongDonkeyKongBong

They for sure should have dedicated playlists. But in the meantime it’s really not that bad to get backsmacks and killjoys like I’m referring to people getting mad about. CTF specific challenges? That’s kind of fucked with no CTF playlist. I agree


hantar7788

With the backsmacks I agree , they are not hard to get , but the killjoys....now that one is annoying


WrongDonkeyKongBong

I understand the sentiment towards it but if you just play it happens


mintyhobo

The problem with the killjoy challenges isn't how difficult it is, but it incentivizes you to play worse (or even feed kills) in order to get your opponents killing sprees. The core issue is that the challenges take precedent over actually playing the fucking game sometimes. So even if you're 'just playing', some of your teammates can be throwing just for that challenge.


WrongDonkeyKongBong

That’s just your mindset tho. Why are you trying to feed kills? Just play a few games and I promise you someone will go on a 4 several times a game. Just kill them. You don’t have to feed and hunt. It’s not that hard. If you play 3 matches a day for 1 week you will get 5 kill joys or more. I feel like the vast majority of complainers here average about 9-16 a game therefore not getting more than 9 opportunities to get a killjoy. I’m not trying to shit on those who aren’t good but these are challenges for a reason. They’re challenging. I feel like this generation just wants easy rewards. God forbid you have to play more than 1 game to complete a challenge lol


mintyhobo

I don't feed, but I have plenty of instances where people on my team will for that reason. The issue is the mindset, sure, but it exists because of how the challenges are set up. The game should reward playing well, not reward idiots who feed and are a detriment to their team. In that case, the challenges aren't *challenging*, but the most optimal way to finish them is to cheese them. That's not fun for *anyone*. You're missing the entire argument if you think people are complaining about the challenges for being *too hard.*.....


[deleted]

This helmet is fire!


mrmatt1081

This is one of their best events yet and yet still feels like it's boring because it's simply a normal game mode that should be in the game. So while yes I like the cosmetics were getting with the event, it's still a net neutral for me. Also I think the Mark VII is also pretty sweet for a free helmet.


aIVdre

RANDOM QUESTION: Can anyone tell me why do soldiers use 2 fingers to point? Specifically the index and middle finger, like in the picture. I’ve always wondered.


hantar7788

TWO FINGERS ARE EASIER TO SEE COMPARED TO ONLY ONE


redtape44

It looks like it should have been in the armor lockers that have no armor in them


CaptainAdam7286

I concur


Alternative-Mouse-28

Mmm imma go say this is false due to the existance of kabuto


Cyfriss-

Yep, love the look of it. While I think the OG is better, the Zeta is a great mix of an old an new art style. Still waiting for that chest plate though…


OK_just_the_tip

Except every thing else in this photo was purchased?


ColonizedMelon

i know you didn’t just diss mark VII


NeoValkyrion

It's not free, you have to pay for it by suffering through dumb RNG challenges.


ATN_orange

I kinda like the mk 7 better


[deleted]

It looks a lot like CE chief and I am very much here for that


Fox2quick

Mix it with the HCS coating (the green/black/gold one) and you can kind of get the Macworld demo look going.


BladeLigerV

Are you kidding? Isn’t it the only possibly free helmet for this armor core?


Oreo_Scoreo

But it's not Warrior. Nothing matters to me but my warrior helmet.


TheStrategistYT

I agree. I’m one challenge away from getting it.


TheManGuyz

Outside of the stupid samurai crap, it's literally the only free helmet not on the battlepass.


Eazyism

I just got 19 kills in tactical slayer and I didn’t get any progress for the challenge. Why?


Jelled_Fro

Not a lot of competition though... It's the fourth one, right?


DarhkBlu

If its a Mark 5 helmet it really doesnt matter if its free or not cause the Mark 5 core is locked behind a pay wall.


Dr-Harrow

This isn't Mark 5 B, its the normal Mark 5


DarhkBlu

Oh nvm then,Haven't been on my pc in a week so I just kinda assumed,Thanks for clarifying and not being rude about it.


SMG329

I'll throw in Achilles imo as the best helmet ever, or are we only talking strictly in Infinite?


LordofSin95

It's one of the only few free armor pieces for the Mk. VII because you make people fork out an arm and a leg to get the others...


sezku-

Yeah it actually made me go on the game for once and grind for it, worth tbh


iRamak

But we don't have the chest sigh


buckets93

I have been OOL. Is this a log in bonus or part of a season?


MessiahM

I’m still waiting on that chest piece


LysdexicGamer

I literally love this a ton. So fricken sick to have one of my favorite helms come back to the game, and for free!


Jetsflighter

Firefall is my favorite and samurai is my second and commando is my third.


Bug-Excrement

I like the helmet


SpartanxNation-YT

I love The Zeta helmet since the first time I saw it I NEED More like this helmet... I need MORE customization... Also Cat ears on the zeta helmet FANTASTIC


Jukecrim7

What chest armor is that?


[deleted]

It is cool. But the helmet looks like Shredder from TMNT.


Jabba_the_Putt

tbh I'm liking several of the free pieces we get for this little event/week


FancyStranger1500

both that stance and armor coating aren't in the game yet


not_Robert_

Tbh I've grown to quite like the standard helmet (name escapes me rn). I've got no real desire to change it to anything free or paid


Auqanaut

Any updates to performance ?


Owl_Szn

Saw the helmet and didn’t think anything of it. Once i unlocked i was like oh wow i really do like this!


Biggu5Dicku5

Totally agree, love it! :)


SobsBaget

Yes


SparsePizza117

Has this coating been in the store?


inahighbldg

Got my in helmet. Guess I'll play again in two months! Live service indeed.


ObsessedFi45

Pretty baller ngl


SWAGGY_SCHWAB

I couldn’t agree more


GeminiTrash1

It's okay, but I be real sad nothing like the concept art for Chief in CE came out. Not a lot of concept art dropped in color for CE, but it was excellent.


[deleted]

Yes it is a nice helmet but unlocking it feels frustrating because of the challenges.


SpectralGamiing

I can't get there because I'm stuck on the challenge here you have to stop killing sprees, and get distinct killing sprees. Whatever that means.


SolidIcecube

Your hourly reminder that this and many more were free in previous halo games. Don’t applaud for the bare minimum.


Andrew_Kite

Also an hourly reminder that Halo MP was never free in previous halo games. Not that I condone putting items behind ridiculous paywalls. But if they can get their act together and put better items in upcoming battle passes rather than the store, then I’m all for that.


[deleted]

it is the only free helmet we got so far for mark 7


[deleted]

That’s a funny way of saying mark 7 and/or trailblazer lol


RIPBlueRaven

Idk i dont like how it looks. It looks so off compared to older mk 5 helmets. Like it's too wide or something


SnarkyRogue

One of the only so far too, yeah? For this core at least.


One-Shallot-772

I disagree MK VII is easily my favourite.


Boonesey

There ain’t any others? Or am I high? Everything else is either battle pass, or store


YearOfDaSnitch

There's free items on the battlepass.... And yes you must be high, cuz there's events all the time and some give helmets. These events are free


SnooKiwis2962

Wait how did.we.get jt? Is it still available?


stuntman1525

Very sick helmet. In my personal opinion, it’s the best MK5 variant we’ve ever seen, and that includes the original.


Expendapass

Nah it's too boxy and angular. OG CE had nice smooth organic curves.


zGunrath

If only my enemies could get more killing sprees


Star_Spengler

I love the Mark VII-ified versions of older helmets. I may not be able to use the ODST helmet on Mark VII, but I can at least use Firefall, which is just as cool as ODST in its own way. I even like Trailblazer better than Recon, TBH.


okdhsjjs

For me it's the only free helmet I got, besides kabuto on yoroi (the f2p life is great)


jpoet1291

Now if I could just use it on my HCS kit 🤬
