GLOBAL

• Improved stability for Halo Infinite on both Xbox consoles and PC.

PC

• Restored functionality to the Limit Inactive Frame Rate option for newer NVIDIA graphics drivers.

Gameplay

  • Developer Notes: “Players gave us feedback that the Pelican vehicle drops on Deadlock did not feel good when dropping off Scorpions and Wraiths. We liked the focus on tanks, but agreed that the power of the Scorpion was too much and noticed it could dominate matches. To help address this, we’ve updated to vehicle drops on Deadlock to only bring in Wraiths, while the rest of the vehicle pads still spawn in their normal vehicles.”
