Halo Infinite Winter Contingency Event: How To Unlock Free Rewards

They should just go all out and make plasma grenades look like snowballs! But this is cool too I'll definitely be participating.

So I can't play today and I can't play tomorrow...do I lose the rewards?

@AFCC there are 10 ranks in the event and 14 days from Dec 21st to Jan 3rd, hence I think you'll be fine.

Ok, you've got me. I'll give it a go everyday, then

Ooh, this is quite nice.

@Magabro They really expect people to no life the game every time they do one of these, huh?

@GASEOUS They stated there are 4 days added to the end for people that can't play everyday. There's very little downside here.

@Generik, yes, I even deleted my comment since I didn't realised It, although, thanks to point out

@Magabro Thanks <3

Considering I'm spending Christmas away from my Series X am I ever so glad for the Game Pass cloud ability on Game Pass.
I know it's not the festive spirit, but both the Halo event and the Forza Horizon season shall not be missed out due to the cloud thing. Long story short, I'm very happy.

By paying money?

@AstraeaV nope play one game win or lose, it’s yours.

@InterceptorAlpha you only have to play 1 game a day

@InterceptorAlpha Nolife? Its just "play 1 game", any game you want also so I don't think 10 minutes a day is a big "No Life" commitment

@Vepra @Sakai

Elaborate? I had the spare time and was able to play 3 games last night. Only after the second game did the first tier unlock and it slightly inch into the level 2 area. The third game gave me about 2/3rds into level 3.

That tied in with the fact that I'll probably have maybe one or two other times I'll be able to play Halo
until the first week or two of next year. Your average person is generally super busy and stressed on the holidays. I'd say this amount of time would fall into the no lifeing category.

Could I have done in in middle or high school? Yep. When I was in university? Absolutely. As someone that has adult responsibilities and family strewn all over everywhere? Lol nope.

@InterceptorAlpha the first game you play each day unlocks 1 level of the battlepass. You can play any mode you choose. There is a few extra spare days to the event for people unable to log in for a few of the days. Hope that helps mate

@Sakai I see. That didn't seem to be the case last night. My first game only gave me partial progress to the first reward. It was only after I played the second one that it unlocked. And the third was partial progress toward the second unlock, the skin.

Is there a known glitch where it levels up like the standard battlepass instead of one per day?

@InterceptorAlpha sounds like a glitch to me, but I am no expert. Try playing a game tonight if you have time and see if you get another unlock. There is 3 or 4 extra days incase you are busy tonight

@InterceptorAlpha are you, by any chance, confusing regular battlepass with event pass? Event pass missions do not grant xp, they grant a whole level. Every day (resets at 7pm CET) you have to play 1 game to finish the event challenge that will grant you 1 event pass level. It's always the 1st challenge on top, the challenge is in blue color instead of the regular gray, also the icon is a bit different compared to the rest of the challenges

@Vepra Nope. The holiday event is separate enough from battlepass that even a dunce like myself wouldn't get confuse. Though good God is the user interface for all of it awful. Right now showing I'm about 2/3rds of the way to unlocking the peppermint skin for the armor.
