Via "Spartan Cores", discoverable in the game's open world, you can upgrade your equipment and your shield. Halo Infinite has a very unobtrusive upgrade mechanic going. The sooner the grappleshot becomes part of your Halo vocabulary the better. My recommendation: Experiment from the get go and get used to using it as often as possible. It can even be used to grapple towards enemies and board moving vehicles. It can be used for heaps of stuff: traversal, grabbing weapons and items. The sooner you get familiar with it, the better. In my first play through, it took me a while to get accustomed to the game's new grapple hook mechanic, aka the grappleshot. Halo Infinite's grapple mechanic ties everything together seamlessly. I found it very useful to mess around with all of those settings to suit how I like to play Halo specifically. This is more than just flipping from regular to inverted, you can change analogue stick deadzones, and mess with how fast they accelerate. I recommend experimenting in the early stages and figuring out what you like. If you've been playing Halo's fantastic multiplayer beta, you'll be aware the game provides players with very granular control options. Legendary, I reckon, is perfect for a second, more challenging playthrough once you understand how the game works on a more fundamental level. Heroic is tough, and you'll encounter a few bottlenecks, but it's just the right amount of tough. Once you find your groove I estimate it'll feel too easy. Normal is just a little too straight forward. Your mileage may vary, but if you're an experienced Halo player looking to get the most out of Halo Infinite, I recommend "Heroic" difficult over the harder "Legendary" or the easier "Normal". The game's free-to-play multiplayer is a whole other story. So, to that end, I've decided to put together some general advice for those about to start playing Halo Infinite's single player mode.
The bad news: Fans of the series will be surprised to discover some of the tactics they've developed to cruise through previous Halo games on "Heroic" difficulty, won't always work. I know because I reviewed it, using words like "Halo Infinite is a shocking return to form". The good news: Halo Infinite absolutely rules. After months of delays, controversies and people taking the mickey out of a Brute called Craig, Halo Infinite is finally about to go live.
