Halo Infinite Season 2 adds King of the Hill & a battle royale-like mode

And more!

Halo Infinite Season 2 will add a bunch of new game modes including fan favourite King of the Hill alongside a battle royale-like mode called Last Spartan Standing.

We’ve recapped each new mode below.

Halo Infinite King of the Hill

“A neutral hill spawns on the map and two teams battle it out to control the hill and earn points,” 343 said, explaining King of the Hill.

“When a player enters the hill uncontested, it is captured and begins earning 1 point per second into a capture bar. When a team’s capture bar is full, they score 1 point and a new hill spawns somewhere else on the map.”

Halo Infinite Last Spartan Standing

Last Spartan Standing will take place on Big Team Battle maps and pit 12 Spartans against one another in a free-for-all experience. Spartans will have a confined loadout and five total respawns.

“Once a player runs out of respawns and can no longer participate, they can either spectate or leave the match without penalty,” 343 said.

Kills will offer up the chance to upgrade gear.

“If a player gets a kill in the match, they can upgrade to a different weapon—something players of ‘Escalation Slayer’ will no doubt be familiar with,” 343 added. “The match ends when there is just one Spartan left standing.”

Halo Infinite Land Grab

Finally, Land Grab will pit two teams against one another in a bid to take control of the map.

“At the start of the match, there are 3 neutral zones around the map,” 343 said.

“When a player captures a zone, it is locked and gives their team 1 point. When all zones are captured, there is an intermission before 3 new neutral zones spawn. The first team to score 11 points wins.”

Take a look at the modes in action below.
