When 343 Industries released Halo Infinite Season 2, many Season 1 Premium Battle Pass owners lost one challenge slot that reduced their potential XP per hour, and fans were quick to voice their frustrations. Now Halo Infinite is giving away free XP boosts and Challenge Swaps to some players as a result of this bug.
343 Industries has resolved the issue many Halo Infinite fans were experiencing with losing their challenge slot for the first Premium battle pass in the move to Season 2: Lone Wolves. Because Halo Infinite players could continue to progress through the Season 1 battle pass beyond the release of Lone Wolves, lots of players missed out on that little extra XP since the live service title entered Season 2. There are plenty of rewards to unlock through the 100 tiers of progression each battle pass offers, and this bug fix will allow Halo Infinite players to receive the appropriate challenge slots and may be eligible for the freebies for missing out until now.
