Battlepass: How Long Will it Take?

Do what you will with the following information.

1000 XP per tier, 100 tiers = 100,000 XP to complete BP

XP earned from playing 15 games a day:

  • Games 1-3: 300XP Total (Bot Slayer, win or lose)
  • Games 4-5: 100 XP Total (Bot Slayer, win or lose)
  • Games 6-7: 100 XP Total (Bot Slayer, win or lose)
  • Games 8-9: 100 XP Total (Bot Slayer, win or lose)
  • Games 10-12: 150 XP Total (PvP, win or lose)
  • Games 13-15: 150 XP Total (PvP, win or lose)

*Note: After 15 games, per-match XP begins to suffer greatly.

In 15 games, you can earn 900 XP, or 90% of the XP needed to complete a tier. There are 100 tiers. So 900 XP a day means you can get to level 90 (90,000 XP) in 100 days. To finish the battlepass you will need to play like this for 111 days (99,900 XP + 1 more game the next day for 100 XP) for a total of 100,000 XP.

In the context of H5’s Gold Packs, 1 pack was worth 10,000 REQs. Most matches offered on average 1,000 REQs. So 10 games was usually enough to “level up”. Halo Infinite is notably slower than that.

15 games for 111 days is 1665 games. Plus 1 more game for a total of 1,666 games.

I’ll use 8 minutes as the average length of a multiplayer match. (This is just what I feel is the average, it may be higher or lower, also BTB runs longer anyways).

  • 15 games a day x 8 minutes per match = 120 minutes (2 hours) per day (not including wait/load times)
  • 120 minutes x 111 days + 8 minutes (extra game) = 13,320 minutes or 222 hours.
  • So if the season started on January 1, it would take until April 21 to finish the BP.

*Note: None of this takes into account the weekly challenges.

**Note: I don’t know how many challenges were available or what their values were before making this, so I’m ignoring them.

Conclusion: Grinding the battlepass will take a long time, but not longer than the length of time the season is open, IF you dedicate 2 hours everyday. The good news is that most of this XP can be gained from Bot Slayer, so new players don’t have to face high-skilled players if they don’t want to. Finally challenges will cut down on some of this time, IF you can complete them.

Tl;dr: The battlepass is more focused on DAILY progression and not HOURLY progression.

*I more than likely messed up a number somewhere.

UPDATE: Match XP got axed in HALF, so just ignore most of this.

EDIT: I forgot my 3 current challenges. They are:

  2. Spread the Love (Get BR Kills) Tier 1 (200 XP)
  3. Spartan Killer (Kill players in Slayer PvP) Tier 2 (250 XP)

I have 8 Tier 1 challenges worth 200 XP__________________________(1600 XP)
I have 8 Tier 2 challenges worth 250 XP__________________________(2000 XP)
I have 4 Tier 3 challenges worth 300 XP__________________________(1200 XP)

Total_______________________________________________________ (4800 XP)

*Note: Any challenges not marked with “PvP” might be able to be completed in Bot Slayer. This seems to only be the Tier 1’s. Also notice how the difficulties are staggered with the list being bottom heavy.

**Note: I noticed that I only have 5 days to complete these. I don’t know if this is an early access thing or if weeklies change if you don’t complete on the day before. (I didn’t do a challenge yesterday).

***Note: I still have the opportunity to unlock the Sigil Visor for completing every weekly challenge.

tl;dr Weekly challenges will earn you almost 5 of progression.

You level up with every 20 matches (50 XP / match now). So you need to complete 2000 matches in order to complete the Battle Pass. Minus whatever other challenge you manage to complete in the meantime. Most are still too specific or dependent on RNG. Too many weapon-specific ones.

If a match lasts for 15 minutes then it’s 2000x15=30000 minutes, so you complete the Battle Pass in ~500 hours. Minus whatever XP you can get from other challenges.

-Yoink!- me man. Seems they’ve changed it since last night…

I’m not deleting this though. Thanks for pointing that out.
