Halo Infinite cosmetic shop to see cheaper prices starting with the Cyber Showdown event today

Halo Infinite received two major updates today. A new event is underway, and the shop has seen some much needed changes. For fans, this just might be enough to bring players back around to the ailing game. Today, the Cyber Showdown event begins in Halo Infinite, bringing some bright, neon colors and other cosmetics to the field. But if a glowing blue and purple mohawk doesn’t do it for you, the Halo Infinite shop is now cheaper.

For the latter, it’s the news players have been waiting for since the game’s multiplayer launched into beta. Halo fans and, hell, even members of the 343 Industries team have bemoaned the awful cost of in-shop cosmetics. Last week, Jerry Hook, head of design at 343, took to Twitter to tease pricing changes. Beginning today, the company is making cosmetics cheaper to purchase in Halo Infinite’s in-game shop. If you mosey over to the store now, you can note how much of a difference it really is.

A couple of months ago, the store would have presented a different scene. The Zvezda Armor Set bundle was going for 2,000 in-game points, which translated to $19.99 USD. It’s a lot of money, especially when you consider that the Battle Pass costs half as much. A helmet attachment was $10 USD, with XP Boosts and Challenge Swaps on sale for $2 USD.

With the start of the Cyber Showdown event in Halo Infinite, prices for cosmetics in the shop are notably cheaper. The Neon Superfly bundle, for example, applies the slick look to both the Yoroi and Mark VII armor cores. It also comes with a Legendary visor, weapon coatings for the Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle, and vehicle coatings for the Wasp and three Warthog variants. And it goes for a more reasonable $12 USD.

But what about the event? Well, if you wanted to
