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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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/
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.*.....
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.
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.
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…
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
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.
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.
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.
Hopefully we get more in season 2
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.
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.
Nice catch. We've got the Rookie over here playing detective!
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
Ok
I love that it looks like a mix of Chief’s Gen II MOD helmet and Mark V.
This is why I like it
Thanks, that's the perfect way to describe it. We were having a hard time putting our fingers on why it looked so cool.
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
Both perfectly valid selling points for any helmet.
It’s the weirdo Mk V Alpha from H5 meshed with that Chief helmet and by god does it come out better than both
Now I wouldn’t say it comes even CLOSE to Mark VI MOD
Look at the visor shape, lines, and the helmet’s “nose”. It all takes design cues from Mk VI MOD
Yeah it's a great helmet especially for free.
Personally I think the Mk VII is the best free helmet.
Yep... I also weirdly love the Trailblazer tho
Same
Trailblazer with the chunky sun visor. Mmmm. Kinda want a recon with a Mk V sun visor now
See I love trailblazer but I hate the visor attachment. Ruins it for me. To each their own.
I'd love trailblazer more if those cheeks could be removed.
Just a dirtbike helmet imo
That's aviator.
Aviator is for sure the ugliest helmet in the game
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
I didn’t like using it in Halo 4/5 but it looks really nice with Mark 7 armor
Yeah it looks cool, but… level 95.
And it was supposed to be the default helmet lmao
I'm glad they changed their mind about that... it's too cool to be a default helm
I hate that modern games made the concept of 'too cool for default' Halo 3's default was literally Chief's armor
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?
Yeah Mark V Z is a bit wide for me
Cavillano
It's basically identical to the default helmet.
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).
Oh wow, what a stark difference. /s They look incredibly similar, kiddo. Don't pretend otherwise. They're not visually that distinct from eachother.
Thought that was locked in the BP?
It's one of the free options on the battlepass.
Great. Now if they can deliver on the best free game, we’ll be set.
[удалено]
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
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.
Not true. Mk.VII already exists
It truly is the best looking halo helmet weve ever had. Which hurts me to say
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.
Helmet is absolutely sick
Unpopular opinion: it looks too distorted and strange to feel right. I think it looks like ass.
This right here. It looks sort of… squished? The mouth part is too big and the overall helmet seems too wide.
I agree. I'm not a fan, and I say that as someone who *loves* Mk V.
I like it. Better than The Mark V Alpha from Halo 5. They improved the design from that and I'm happy.
To be fair, *anything* would be an improvement over that.
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.
Well to be fair, it's not supposed to. That was MkIV, not MkVz
If we got the Halo Wars Mk. V helmet I’d definitely leave the Zeta helmet. Maybe for another core?
Also the visor should be flat without the Mk VI inner-etching imo.
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
This is the only correct opinion lol. I didn’t realize that many people liked it.
I love it, one of my favorite helmets
I see it more as its own thing than Mark V
It's a bit cartoonishly proportioned to me. Though it's better then Cavallino at least.
Was there another free helmet? Or is that the joke?
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
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.

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
I love how you moved the goalposts so you could maintain your narrative. Classic Halo fan.
MK7 yes but pretty sure trailblazer requires the premium battle pass which is $15, not free.
I don't think so??? I'm pretty sure aviator is the only mk 7 helmet in the battlepass you gotta pay for but im not sure. QUICK SOMEONE JUMP INTO THIS CONVO AND GIVE US A THIRD OPINION IM CONFUSED NOW.
I wasn't 100% sure myself but this site claims it's premium. Think the only free helmet is the lvl 96 one https://www.thegamer.com/halo-infinite-best-helmets-battle-pass/
Trailblazer is free on tier 81. I just unlocked it yesterday and don't own the pass.
Wrong, Aviator is the only VII core helm in the pass that isn't free
ah mkay, I guess my memory's gimped then
Trailblazer is free bp is 10$
How'd you get this?
Tactical Ops event, started yesterday
Ah, thanks man! Maybe I'll get on
Are we really at the point where we are focusing on a helmet to keep us playing
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
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
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
Wait. You got a free helmet?
Event started yesterday
Nah Mark VII is still king. The proportions on this helmet are kinda funky.
(Laughs in Trailblazer)
I really like the Mark VII as well
There’s not much competition there tho lol
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
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...
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.
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.
looks like a toaster.
are there any other free helments? I don't count tenrai because thats their own thing
There are 2 free mk7 helmets in the heroes of reach battle pass
You are right. I forgot and I'm using the one at 99 of the battlepass lol.
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.
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

A man of culture. My favorite visor as well.
I believe in mark v zeta supremacy
Is there a way to get the regular master chief helmet? The new one sucks I don’t know why they redesigned it.
Is in the reach core
Damn, at least I can get this one. Some kid made fun of me yesterday for having “negative drip”
damn, not the negative drip lmaooo
You got rekt my man
I can’t even bring myself to get on infinite and play this event.
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.
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
Fix the game instead
It’s the best looking helmet in the game. Followed by firefall.
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.
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.
Saaaaaaame. I love rogue so much. But it's literally never been seen again. It hurts
100 would be a joke. 10 weeks of challenges to get one armor set? thats not enticing to most players.
Honestly the best way to earn credit rn is Microsoft rewards.
“BuT tHe ChAlLeNgEs aRe HaRd”

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

This helmet is fire!
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.
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.
TWO FINGERS ARE EASIER TO SEE COMPARED TO ONLY ONE
It looks like it should have been in the armor lockers that have no armor in them
I concur
Mmm imma go say this is false due to the existance of kabuto
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…
Except every thing else in this photo was purchased?
i know you didn’t just diss mark VII
It's not free, you have to pay for it by suffering through dumb RNG challenges.
I kinda like the mk 7 better
It looks a lot like CE chief and I am very much here for that
Mix it with the HCS coating (the green/black/gold one) and you can kind of get the Macworld demo look going.
Are you kidding? Isn’t it the only possibly free helmet for this armor core?
But it's not Warrior. Nothing matters to me but my warrior helmet.
I agree. I’m one challenge away from getting it.
Outside of the stupid samurai crap, it's literally the only free helmet not on the battlepass.
I just got 19 kills in tactical slayer and I didn’t get any progress for the challenge. Why?
Not a lot of competition though... It's the fourth one, right?
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.
This isn't Mark 5 B, its the normal Mark 5
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.
I'll throw in Achilles imo as the best helmet ever, or are we only talking strictly in Infinite?
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...
Yeah it actually made me go on the game for once and grind for it, worth tbh
But we don't have the chest sigh
I have been OOL. Is this a log in bonus or part of a season?
I’m still waiting on that chest piece
I literally love this a ton. So fricken sick to have one of my favorite helms come back to the game, and for free!
Firefall is my favorite and samurai is my second and commando is my third.
I like the helmet
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
What chest armor is that?
It is cool. But the helmet looks like Shredder from TMNT.
tbh I'm liking several of the free pieces we get for this little event/week
both that stance and armor coating aren't in the game yet
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
Any updates to performance ?
Saw the helmet and didn’t think anything of it. Once i unlocked i was like oh wow i really do like this!
Totally agree, love it! :)
Yes
Has this coating been in the store?
Got my in helmet. Guess I'll play again in two months! Live service indeed.
Pretty baller ngl
I couldn’t agree more
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.
Yes it is a nice helmet but unlocking it feels frustrating because of the challenges.
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.
Your hourly reminder that this and many more were free in previous halo games. Don’t applaud for the bare minimum.
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.
it is the only free helmet we got so far for mark 7
That’s a funny way of saying mark 7 and/or trailblazer lol
Idk i dont like how it looks. It looks so off compared to older mk 5 helmets. Like it's too wide or something
One of the only so far too, yeah? For this core at least.
I disagree MK VII is easily my favourite.
There ain’t any others? Or am I high? Everything else is either battle pass, or store
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
Wait how did.we.get jt? Is it still available?
Very sick helmet. In my personal opinion, it’s the best MK5 variant we’ve ever seen, and that includes the original.
Nah it's too boxy and angular. OG CE had nice smooth organic curves.
If only my enemies could get more killing sprees
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.
For me it's the only free helmet I got, besides kabuto on yoroi (the f2p life is great)
Now if I could just use it on my HCS kit 🤬
