Winter Contingency II was a multiplayer event held for Halo Infinite. The first event of the Winter Update, Winter Contingency II was held between December 20, 2022, and January 2, 2023. Following the original Winter Contingency event, its contents are based on the Christmas holidays.[1][2] Winter Contingency II was followed by Joint Fire on January 17, 2023.
Winter Contingency II content[edit]
Winter Contingency II's content could originally be earned through a 10 tier event pass over the course of its two week tenure. Weekly challenges would see an overhaul with the Winter Update, with the overall weekly amount of challenges being reduced to ten over the prior twenty; they would also be altered to not be gametype-specific. Additionally, XP earned during matches through the "Match XP beta" would also contribute to progress in the pass. As a result, Winter Contingency II is the first event to not require a specific playlist to complete, with this standard being set for all battle passes, events, and operations following this up until the release of Infinite.
Visor options available during Winter Contingency II's tenure were naturally available on all armor cores as it followed the August, 2022 drop pod in Season 02: Lone Wolves. Weapon coatings would be made available on all weapon cores with the release of Fleetcom in July of the 2024. Rewards earned through Winter Contingency II's event pass would eventually be added to the Exchange during Snowbound in 2024.
