This article is about the Halo Infinite operation. For other uses, see Anvil (disambiguation).

Anvil is an operation in Halo Infinite that ran from July 2, 2024 to July 30, 2024.^[1] The third and final operation of Content Update 32, Anvil would focus on Anvil Station and the Anvil Initiative, a joint collaborative program between the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios, with Rakshasa-specific unlocks themed around the Sangheili.^[2] This fictional framing is a shared thread with Halo Online and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, specifically with Series 5: Anvil in the latter title. Anvil would be directly followed by the launch of the July Update, which saw the release of Fleetcom.

A short story titled Halo: Anvil Accord was released on July 22, 2024, to accompany the event.

Anvil content[edit]

Content for Anvil is available through a 20 tier operation pass, which is perpetually available through Halo Infinite's switcher. Anvil was initially free on launch, allowing players to progress through the operation pass over the course of its month-long tenure, with challenges and general XP contributing to the pass' levels. While free, players could purchase the premium pass for 500 providing a non-expiring operation pass which could be progressed at any time, along with the Smash and Grab SPNKr weapon model and the Rent Seeker weapon coating as bonus items. Upon Anvil's end, its operation pass was replaced by Fleetcom's pass, and locked to those who did not purchase it; as per before, it remains indefinitely accessible through Infinite's switcher.
