New Halo Infinite Winter Contingency Event Now Live, 10 Free Rewards Up For Grabs

Halo Infinite joins the Winter Holiday Fun. Other live-service multiplayer online games participate in every season. Similar to these, you can earn many free rewards by participating. 

The Winter Contingency is an event that began on December 21st and continues until January 4. What’s more, there are ten free rewards for all players to earn, and earning them is simple: play a match of Arena or Big Team Battle. That’s it. 

“Rewards will be unlocked over time, meaning they will not all be available to grab on day one,” a Halo Waypoint blog post about the event reads. “Think of Winter Contingency like your in-game Halo advent calendar: you’ll unlock one reward each day, with the event running through the morning of January 4, 2022. To be clear: While the daily rewards conclude on December 30, what this means is you’ll have several extra days to catch up on any items that you may have missed.”

For example, if you didn’t play a match yesterday, you’re one day behind, but because the event lasts until January 4, you’ll earn your final reward on December 31 (assuming you play a match every day in between now and then). 

Talk about rewards here’s what you can expect: 

• Day 1.Wild Justice nameplate
• Day 2Peppermint Laughter armor coat
• Day 3UA/Tatius shoulder pad left
• Day 4UA/Tatius shoulder pad right
• Day 5Peppermint Laughter MA40 assault rifle weapon coating
• Day 6: Snowmageddon backdrop
• Day 7Navlogcom Nameplat
• Day 8Peppermint Laughter MK50 sidekick weapon coating
• Day 9: Myesel ammo pouch
• Day 10: Sunset Contessa armor coating
