Halo Infinite Update Adds New 'Deviously Difficult PvE Mode' - News
by William D'Angelo , posted on 07 May 2026 / 1,994 ViewsHalo Studios announced a new update for Halo Infinite has been released that adds a "deviously difficult PvE mode" called Firefight: Gauntlet.
Read details on the Firefight: Gauntlet mode below:
Slay to Survive
As endless enemies rush from all sides, your team’s only hope is to eliminate the bosses in each arena to halt their reinforcements and progress to the next encounter.
Combat ranges through five maps connected by a supply area where you can gather ammo and equipment, roll for power weapons, or level up your personal buffs (Speed, Resistance, Regeneration, and Damage) for the onslaught ahead.
Between rounds, you’ll get a chance to upgrade your stats and kit out before the next attack—so make those choices count! Survive five rounds, and victory is yours.
Pro tip: If you can retrieve the Oddball from the Harbinger, bring it back to the supply zone to activate Skull modifiers and boost everyone’s Personal Score during the match.
