How to Get Credits in Halo Infinite
As it stands, the only way to get Halo Infinite credits is to buy them. Unlike in other games like Warzone, you can't earn credits from the Battle Pass to get the next one for 'free' if you complete the previous one.
At launch, here's how much credits cost:
- 500 Credits for $5
- 1,000 Credits for $10
- 2,200 Credits for $20
- 5,600 Credits for $50
- 11,500 Credits for $100
When Season 2 hits, you'll be able to rank up your Battle Pass to earn credits as well.
So What's XP for in Halo Multiplayer, Then?
Credits are different from XP, which you'll earn by finishing some of the many challenges in Halo Infinite's multiplayer campaign. XP unlocks Battle Pass ranks, but not every tier of the free Battle Pass includes a free new item. The free pass does have a fair few rewards, but if you want new items at every rank, you'll need to buy the paid Battle Pass with, you guessed it, credits.
On the bright side, Halo Infinite's Battle Pass never expires. If there's something you see and can't get at the time, it'll still be available later on.
There's also the occasional XP booster item you can pick up to double how much XP you earn. Obviously, that only applies to the free Battle Pass, but it helps in getting past the tiers with no rewards so you can get items you want.
Season 2's Changes
In Halo Infinite Season 2, you'll be able to earn credits through the Battle Pass, meaning you'll be able to purchase things from the Halo Infinite item shop without spending more than you already spent on the Battle Pass! We'll learn more as Season 2 approaches in May.
