343's latest title Halo Infinite has just rolled out its new update 'Banished Operations', and it comes loaded with new content, bug fixes, several new features as well as new in-game currency and an Exchange shop.
This new form of currency is called "Spartan Points" (SP) and can be earned by completing Daily and Ultimate Challenges, or levelling up Operation Passes. These points can then be used at the Exchange shop to purchase previously available limited-time offers and rewards.
Here are the full details about Spartan Points:

- Daily Challenges: Complete a match of multiplayer matchmaking to receive 250 SP each day. This challenge resets every day at 10am PT.
- Ultimate Challenges: After completing all available Weekly Challenges, the Ultimate Challenge will become available. Completing this Ultimate Challenge will reward 1,000 SP. Weekly and Ultimate Challenges reset every Tuesday at 10am PT.
- New Operation Passes: Starting with this update, all Operation Passes will include 15,000 SP distributed throughout various reward tiers.
- Spartan Points earned through the Operation Pass will not expire once an Operation ends, meaning earned SP can be carried over between Operations. Spartan Points have not been added into previously released Operation Passes.
Spartan Points have previously been featured in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

You can get a detailed rundown about this latest update on the Halo Waypoint website.

the hell is that helmet?
They removed the weekly new unique item reward with free currency. So instead of getting a new item for completing the weekly challenges you get some currency that's maybe 10/20% towards buying an item.
So you'll have to grind for weeks to buy an item that you used to get in 1 weekly challenge.
They also halved the amount of new content in Operation events. Last one had 14 new items. This new one has 7. With the rest of the pass being filled with free currency. So instead of just getting new content as you progress the event, again, you have to grind to purchase any new items, of which there's fewer.
There's 21 items to purchase with free currency. Only 5 of them are new items. 16 are old items.
So they've halved the new content in exchange for that you can grind for mostly old items. And the shop refreshes in 6 weeks so anything you didnt grind for you don't get to buy it anymore after the refresh.
ONE armor color is 30,000 points. You get 1000 points a week for the challenge and 250 per day if you play one match. So it will take 3.5 weeks of playing every day to get a single armor coating that would just be unlocked by playing an event normally.
Halo Infinite and 343 is the epitome of 1 step forward, 30 steps back.
Why do people want all this cr@p.
FFS, just what this game needed was an extra layer of BS microtransactions with grind sauce.
This update might bring me back in between games.
@dreadful Feels like the end. Halo is pretty much the only game I play and maybe that’s the issue here.
I've played every week and for every weekly. There are orbs in the exchange I don’t have but do I want them? Not really. Even the 30000 credits one just doesn’t seem worth it.
With weekly rewards going I think I’m actually going to stop doing weeklies. I’d hope on each Tuesday night (as my calls it “Halo night”) but with how unenjoyable the game is to play nowadays I’m seriously reconsidering that.
You can really tell their heart isn’t in it any more.
More currency. So glad they got worked on making yet more pointless made up monies to try and extract real cash from an ever shrinking fanbase. 🙄
Maybe some single player mission with different assets? Local co-op? Some effort on polishing local multiplayer? A decent sequel to wash the taste out? Anything like that?
@Grackler well, they're definitely working on something else. As for the rest of what you said the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
