Halo Infinite Server Outages Cost Players Double XP But No Refund Coming
Server outages in Halo Infinite have cost players time on their Double XP boosts, but it doesn’t look like refunds are coming. There are a few ways to earn cosmetics in Halo Infinite, and one way is the game’s battle pass system. Playing games and completing challenges will grant various amounts of XP, which then levels up the battle pass and rewards in-game items that coincide with the level. Halo Infinite’s battle pass progression has been the target of ridicule from some, however, who have claimed the original system did not offer enough methods of obtaining XP.
Though 343 has made some changes – providing XP from multiplayer gameplay and challenges – some players have demanded the developers add performance-based XP as well, which is expected to be added soon. Another point of contention among Halo Infinite’s player base is the microtransaction system. As of season 1, the only way to earn Credits is by purchasing them with real-world cash. This locks cosmetics, XP boosts, and other in-game items behind a paywall. While this might be frustrating on its own, some players have pointed out that microtransactions are particularly expensive. One fan even calculated that purchasing all the in-game items from Halo's Season 1 would cost $1,000. 343 has promised to change the game’s microtransactions, having just announced that players can earn Credits through gameplay in Halo Infinite starting with season2.
