Halo Infinite getting four new playlists this week, including Slayer

Playlists for Slayer, Fiesta, Free For All, and Tactical Slayer (SWAT) are coming to Halo Infinite this week. As per Halo community director Brian Jarrard, the new playlists are coming via an update rolling out on December 14th.

According to Jarrard, who posted the news on Reddit, the Slayer playlist coming in this update will be a “basic Slayer offering” — 343 Industries has plans for a Slayer playlist that will include a selection of new variants, but it won’t be available until after the holiday break.

The update on December 14th also includes adjustments to challenges. It will remove “particularly frustrating” mode-specific challenges, reduce the requirements for certain challenges, and make the weekly ultimate challenge “less intensive.” Brand new challenges specific to the new playlists are also coming.

Jarrard rounded off by saying that 343 is “aware of and actively investigating” reports of players encountering issues in Big Team Battle mode and that the team is “continuing to review Ranked matchmaking and player feedback around potential anomalies.”
