This is more frustrating than your Bronze teammates in Oddball.
Halo Infinite multiplayer's first season event, Fracture: Tenrai, was released today. However, players are already expressing their dissatisfaction with the progression system.
The event has 30 reward levels that can be earned through Tenrai-specific challenges, marked with an orange banner in your Challenges tab. However, players only have seven event challenges during the first week. This means they can only earn roughly 2.000 event XP points, which is good for about eight levels (if you do them all), which is less than a third of the entire pass.
What makes this all the more frustrating is that the event is only available on certain, separate weeks, so it's not until 2022 that players can earn XP points for the next event. You only need to complete regular weekly to access event missions, and you cannot use challenge swap tokens (which generate several reward tiers in event pass) to add event challenges to your active weekly weeks.
On top of that, some players encountered event challenges that were difficult to achieve, such as ending an enemy killing spree during a Fiesta match. Players also can't gain experience just by playing Fiesta matches when they earn 50 XP, like in regular matches.
Noah Benesch, marketing lead for Halo on PC, confirmed on Twitter that you won't be able to complete all 30 stages of the event pass during week one, resulting in a lot of frustrated responses and retweets.
The first week of the Fracture: Tenrai event ends on November 29. Its second week does not begin until January 4, 2022.
