Ok, so this is a really small detail, and 343 didn’t give any info on this in the gameplay trailer, but I noticed when they viewed the map during the demo, there was a tab for upgrades. I love skill trees and upgrades, but I’m a little worried about how this will be incorporated into halo. I hope it’s probably just something to do with armor “upgrades,” where you change your Spartans look or something, but I feel like that’s unlikely. So what exactly could this mean?

> Upgrades Fit for a Spartan
> Another thing that popped out at me while watching the gameplay demo was the “Upgrades” tab in the map menu. Halo Infinite doesn’t have any sort of experience meter, nor does the Chief keep a permanent weapon loadout as far as we know. Lee explained that upgrades are items you’ll discover as you explore, rather than some sort of experience-based skill tree or other mechanics that wouldn’t make much sense in Halo.

> “We do have a light upgrade system for Chief as he explores this ring. He’ll be able to upgrade equipment items,” Chris said. “The grapple and the drop shield that we showed are kind of in that concept of a spiritual reboot that harken back to the equipment system in Halo 3. Those are two new equipment items that Chief will be able to find and use as you play through the game.”
