Canā€™t post a link so hereā€™s the ā€œlinkā€ but with spaces after https: and forums.

Just made a post about it. Horribly outdated nowā€¦

After seeing that post, I was pissed, they literally were wasting my time. This is still no better, the hell is wrong with them.

24

Iā€™m honored to have the chart featured here, haha.

Edit: I even had it linked to from Reddit - my hard work pays off lol.

25

At least you get consistent XP from Bot Slayer (phyrric victory)ā€¦

Iā€™ve been using the Preformatted text (Ctrl+E) to paste links. Still has to be copy/pasted, but a little easier than altering the URL.

why wouldnā€™t they start the update at the end of the week instead of restaring everyone!?!?!
iā€™m super pissed. i used several swaps so i could get an attainable last weekly challenge because i wanted the ā€œlimited timeā€ achievement (not the reward) now lost the swaps and am starting over with a worse system that i canā€™t give as much time to. very disappointing.

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 H5ā€™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 ā€œlevel upā€. 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.

Iā€™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 donā€™t know how many challenges were available or what their values were before making this, so Iā€™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 donā€™t have to face high-skilled players if they donā€™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.

Thanks, I was asking for the requirements and payouts of ā€œPractice Makes Perfectā€ level 10 and above - but I donā€™t see that in your message here.

I wonder what meetings look like when companies are talking about how to scam players. What sort of people do you think are in those rooms?

Me too.
I wanted the achievement, and I also wanted to actually earn the reward.

I had 18/20 weekly challenges done. I really wish they waited until Monday to update.

This is intencional of part 343 asking for our money, making the battle pass another bad grind like Halo 5 was. Letting the players buy swaps, where any other game ftp has this type of monetization.

after using 3 swaps i got a last challenge of ā€œwinning 3 stronghold matchesā€. so i had 4 days to win 3 strongholds which is pretty attainable for me. now iā€™m out that and the swaps so disappointing.

Sorry. I misread your question.

Iā€™ve only ever made it to level 12. After a point the XP per match (it eventually only changes to Win matches). My post only covers the most optimal use of your time. Besides, itā€™s not obsolete info.

Regardless, hopefully it helped you, even if only a little bit.

37

Didnā€™t say it was a reasonable deal, just running the numbers. But hey, now you donā€™t have to dedicate 2 hours, now itā€™s more like 3ā€¦ =]

Level 12, or 12 games?

Iā€™m still curious what the requirements and rewards of Practice Makes Perfection 10 and above were, but I donā€™t see that listed.

39

Effing clowns. Whoever they got making decisions right now needs to get lost. Not only as a Halo fan but just as a consumer, this conduct is incredibly insulting.
