Tactical Ops was a multiplayer event held for Halo Infinite between March 8 and 22 of 2022, during Season 01: Heroes of Reach.[2] The last unique event of Heroes of Reach, Tactical Ops was succeeded by Interference upon the release of Season 02: Lone Wolves.
Overview[edit]
Tactical Ops playlist[edit]
The Tactical Ops event playlist contained Tactical Slayer and its four variants. During the first week, the standard Tactical Slayer variant was accompanied by "Tactical Slayer - Sidekicks" and "Tactical Slayer - Manglers" variants. During the second week, the "Tactical Slayer - Stalker Rifles" and "Tactical Slayer - Commandos" variants were added to the rotation.[2]
Tactical Ops content[edit]
The first non-recurring event of Halo Infinite, Tactical Ops' 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 Fractures: Tenrai and Cyber Showdown had challenges exclusive to Fiesta and Attrition respectively, Tactical Ops' were exclusive to Tactical Slayer.[1]
Helmet options earned through Tactical Ops 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 armor coating within the event would be made available on all armor cores with the release of Fleetcom in July of 2024. Rewards earned through Tactical Ops's event pass would eventually be added to the Exchange during Anvil, Fleetcom, and Great Journey.[2]
During the final hours of the event on March 22, an in-game issue prevented players from making progress in event challenges. Subsequently, all players who participated in the event during the second week were automatically granted all rewards from the event pass, along with the weekly ultimate reward, the Core Element backdrop.[3]

Weekly rewards[edit]
Two unique weekly challenges with exclusive rewards were available during Tactical Ops, a visor, and a backdrop for the player's nameplate. Like the challenges used to earn levels in the event pass, these weekly challenges were tied to Tactical Slayer, and would unlock a Tactical Slayer-themed cosmetic option. Only the Three-Five-Five visor would be added to the Exchange, being released during Brute Force. The Core Element backdrop remains exclusive to the Tactical Ops event's run.
