343, can you please assist with checkpoints in the next update?
I’m trying my hand at Halo Infinite on LASO. So far, I’ve completed Ransom Keep and on my way to The Tower. However, last night, after completing Ransom Keep, I decided to try to take the FOB on the way to The Tower using the Scorpion and then use it to storm The Tower. Once I cleared the FOB of enemies–after dying a few times before getting it–and claimed it for the UNSC, I headed to The Tower. Sure enough, I died from a Plasma Grenade. When I respawned, however, it wasn’t on my way to The Tower or right at the entrance. Instead, I ended up respawning at the point just before I took the FOB so I had to kill all the enemies at the FOB again.
Seriously?! If that isn’t an example of gamer rage, I don’t know what is. All that progress went down the drain. What’s worse is that’s not the first time that has happened.
as others have said, you must have full shields before a checkpoint can trigger. Try to get a grunt or a jackal alive as the last enemy and melee them to death or until you hear your shields recharges. It is also not a bad idea to backtrack a few rooms just to be sure.
Just be careful with the grunts, I died many times to plasma grenades that they would drop or insta hit me with if I got too close
Before I knew this I had a death send me back 2 complete missions, it sucked.
Check out mint blitz on YT if you are struggling, he put together an awesome LASO guide, I wish it was ready before I completed my run. There is also a way to cheese checkpoints by save quitting after certain points, again refer to mint’s video for specifics, I am not 100% on how it works.
In Halo Infinite, the player must have full shield and full health in order to get a checkpoint. In this instance, the most probable cause is that the shield wasn’t fully charged which in turn denied you the ability to get checkpoints until the shield gets fully charged.
