Tips for Playing Halo Infinite Multiplayer

The Halo series is one of the most iconic in gaming history. With the release of Halo Infinite, gamers are able to enjoy next-gen FPS action with friends and foes alike through the game’s infamous multiplayer.

Whether you’re new to Halo Infinite or you’re a veteran returning to the franchise, it never hurts to learn some tips and tricks to get better and improve your K/D ratio. Below are a few ways to “get good” fast:

Get Headshots

Both in real life and in Halo Infinite, the head is one of the most vulnerable areas of the body. It only makes sense then that Halo Infinite headshots are going to be your best bet for taking down opponents faster. Remember that headshots in Halo Infinite aren’t going to really be useful if your opponent still has a shield, so get the shield down first before worrying about hitting the head.

Watch Your Shield Health

Speaking of shields, you should be constantly monitoring the health of your own shield to make sure you have a quick exit strategy if your shield gets popped. While Halo Infinite isn’t a cover-based shooter, you can still strafe your way to some obstacle or waist-high cover to reduce your hitbox while your shield regenerates.

Keep Things Moving

Much like how Halo Infinite headshots are devastating, avoiding taking damage yourself is a great way to stay in the game. This is where movement and positioning come in handy. There are plenty of areas across all arenas where it’s easier to land shots compared to other areas. Learn the map and the terrain to have a point of attack in mind no matter where you are.

It may be tempting to stand still to line up your shot, but shooting and moving are really going to be the keys to getting kills without becoming a target yourself. It’s much harder to hit a moving target, so being on the move continuously is going to give you an advantage while you look for an opening. You should also practice moving from different positions to fully utilize the effective range on whatever weapon you’re using at the moment.

When to Expect the Lunar New Year Event in Overwatch

The Lunar New Year event is a seasonal occurrence that coincides with the real-world celebration in Asian countries. The first in-game Lunar New Year happened in 2017, and Blizzard continues the tradition into 2022!

So, when will Blizzard initiate this year's Lunar New Year event? Keep reading to find out!

Start and End Dates

Unfortunately, there's no set release date for the Lunar New Year. The real-world celebration starts on February first, but Blizzard typically begins the in-game festivities a bit sooner. While we never know when the event begins, we can use dates from the past to get a general estimate.

The previous Lunar New Year began at the end of January or early February. Most content cycles out of the game by mid-February to early March. That gives you two to three weeks of experiencing everything Blizzard offers. Make sure to start your Overwatch weapons training early to make the most out of the in-game content.

What to Expect for 2022

The symbol for the 2022 Lunar New Year is the tiger! Tiger Hunter Ashe is sure to fit right in with all the skins to come!

If Blizzard continues the tradition, we can assume that this year's events will usher in five Legendary skins and three Epic skins. The former is available for purchase with tokens, while the latter are event-locked.

We may also see new game modes! Last year, Blizzard added Bounty Hunter, Capture the Flag, and Capture the Flag Blitz.

In Bounty Hunter, the first player to get a kill becomes a target that everyone else must takedown. New marks appear with every fresh kill, adding plenty of thrill to the game.

Capture the Flag requires teams to secure an enemy flag and take it to their base. In Capture the Flag Blitz, the same rules apply. However, the flags are much closer, and teams must have more captures to win.

Preparing for the Lunar New Year

This game event is one of the most popular. Prepare for the festivities with Overwatch weapons training to conquer every round and get those coveted Epic skins!
