If you’ve been playing Halo 5: Guardians lately, you may have noticed that every once in a while, some new maps, weapons, and vehicles are added to the game. The month of January will be no different, with 343 Industries stating that their next free content update, dubbed Infinity’s Armory, will be arriving sometime near the end of the month.
As the name implies, you can expect to find new armor sets, weapons, and weapons skins diluting the REQ library to make it even harder to get that one item you really want (such as the DMR).
On the bright side, new maps are coming, including one that appears to take place in what can only be described as a massive greenhouse of the future.
Some behind the scenes changes are happening too, including a buff to the amount of REQ points that you receive from playing the Team Arena playlist. You can also expect to receive more than double the XP you currently get from participating in the featured playlist, and Forge aficionados can rejoice knowing that you can now save 100 maps and 100 custom game modes compared to the previous limit of 40.
Classic gametypes are going to make a reappearance in Halo 5 as well, including Fiesta (randomized weapon spawns) and Grifball (imagine a sport that combines American football, soccer, and Gravity Hammers, but in space), although they will be coming at a later date.
Some new community made gametypes and maps and remakes of classic Halo maps will also be making an appearance, but 343 Industries was not specific about which maps to look forward to.
However, they did heavily imply that community remakes of Ivory Tower and The Pit may come back, although the latter may appear in the Breakout playlist.
