The surprise early launch and positive reception of Halo Infinite's multiplayer mode has largely been undercut by criticism aimed at a poorly paced progression system that leaves players with underwhelming rewards earned frustratingly slowly. Now, 343 Industries is introducing a new daily XP boost feature to help speed things up.
The developers have been working on fine tuning Halo Infinite's progression system ever since the issues came to light and the pacing problems took over the online discourse about the game. Critics and fans alike kept expressing that Halo Infinite has a fantastic multiplayer mode that's being seriously marred by its progression. So far none of the attempts to solve these problems have proven fruitful.
Now, in a new approach, the developers have confirmed that a daily XP boost system is going to be implemented where all players earn fixed bonus XP for the first 6 matches they play each given day. From the seventh onward you will continue to progress at the standard rate unless you use some of the many consumable XP boosters the game throws at you.
Progression in Halo Infinite is centered around challenges, however one of the main source of criticism is that players have limited control over what kind of game modes and maps they are shuffled into, and often challenges have specific requirements. You could play several matches in a row without even the opportunity to complete the challenge and thus make progress.
