Interference was a multiplayer event for Halo Infinite held between May 3 and 16, 2022. Interference was the first event of Season 02: Lone Wolves, as well as the first of four narrative events seen over the course of Season 02 and Season 03: Echoes Within. It would be directly followed by Fractures: Entrenched, with Alpha Pack continuing the narrative in July of 2022.

Overview[edit]

Plot[edit]

Taking place shortly after the Lone Wolves Intro Cinematic, this event depicts the Spartans of the Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science take part in combat simulations on the Banished shipbreaking yard on Camber as a ploy to bait Iratus out of Dinh's armor.

Transcript[edit]

Intro[edit]

Spartan Laurette Agryna is standing in a server room, facing away from the camera and holding a data pad.

Spartan Commander Laurette Agryna: "Me and Dinh, we came up together. He's a fighter. But that Banished AI..."

Agryna turns to face the camera.

Agryna: "It's gonna kill him if we don't act fast and break a few rules. I gave the order to upload the schematics of the Banished facility on Camber to our combat simulation. And now..."

Agryna interacts with her data pad, which causes the lights on the server blocks behind her to light up.

Agryna: "There's an open door for Iratus. I need you and as many Spartans as possible to hit the sim. When you do, I'm betting Iratus gets... irritated -- angry enough to leave Dinh and go after you. And when he does, we'll slam the door shut behind him. So yeah. You and your teammates are the bait. Try not to get bitten."

Outro[edit]

The scene starts with a look at the Office of Naval Intelligence logo on a server stack. Panning towards Laurette Agryna, while sirens are blaring in the background.

Spartan Commander Laurette Agryna: "You damn well did it, Spartan! Iratus took the bait - and now we got him locked-up in here, along with the entire Banished archive!"

One of the server stacks sparks with the sounds of Iratus growling, Agryna turns towards it.

Agryna: "You done? Or do you need me to go find a muzzle?"

Agryna turns to the Spartan again.

Agryna: "Spartan Dinh... he's still in the infirmary, but he'll pull through, thanks to you. In the meantime, we're gonna put all this fancy ONI hardware to work on cracking that archive. And maybe teach our new guest how to play nice."

Last Spartan Standing[edit]

This event introduces the Last Spartan Standing mode with a dedicated playlist. This playlist exclusively features Breaker as its only map.

Interference content[edit]

Interference's content could originally be earned through a 10 tier event pass over the course of its two week tenure. Ten of the twenty weekly challenges would be replaced with event-specific challenges, each rewarding an additional 100 XP, and a level up in the pass upon completion. While previous events had challenges exclusive to Fiesta or Attrition for example, Interference's were exclusive to Last Spartan Standing.

Helmet options earned through Interference would be made available on all armor cores during Season 05: Reckoning, with visor options becoming available on all armor cores during the August, 2022 drop pod in Season 02: Lone Wolves. The coatings within the event would be made available on all weapon cores with the release of Fleetcom in July of 2024. Rewards earned through Interference's event pass would eventually be added to the Exchange during Frontlines, and Last Stand.
