Available since yesterday third season of Halo Infinite, Echoes Within, which represents the biggest update to the multiplayer of the famous shooter. The update introduces numerous new features, including: three new maps, a new weapon and a new piece of equipment.

The three new maps added to the pool are two Arenas, Cliffhangers (the ONI research site) e Chasm (Zeta Halo substructure), and one for BTB (Big Team Battle) mode, oasis. Along with the maps comes a new game mode: Escalation Slayer which takes place on all Arena maps.

The new mode will be available in two variants, in teams or all against all and requires players to eliminate enemies by progressing through a huge array of weaponry. Each kill corresponds to a new weapon before culminating in the final challenge: eliminate an enemy player with the Oddball.

An entirely new piece of equipment has also been added, lo Shroud Screen. It is basically a throwable device similar to the Energy Shield. In this case, however, instead of protecting the player from damage, it is limited to block the view inside.

The rifle is also new M392 Bandit, a weapon that rewards precision and accuracy. We are speaking, in fact, of a riflesemi-automaticsimilar to a low-rate-of-fire carbine, but with higher impact damage than automatic alternatives.

Naturally, the new content will be accompanied by a 100 Tier Battle Pass which adds new skins, including legendary armor Redsteel Splinter. As usual, the premium pass will offer an extra challenge slot and bonus experience for the duration of Season 3, plus the chance to earn up to 1,000 Halo Credits.
