Breaker is a multiplayer map which made its debut in Halo Infinite in Season 02: Lone Wolves.^[3]

Universe and lore[edit]

Breaker takes place inside the remains of the Mulsanne-class light frigate FFG-201 at a Banished shipbreaking yard in Chiltift Basin on Camber. The shipbreaking yard was established at the site of a former United Nations Space Command fleet depot which was destroyed in a Covenant raid in 2542. Spartans Sigrid Eklund and Hieu Dinh took part at a recon operation at this base in 2559 or 2560, which saw them discover the Banished AI Iratus.^[4] After Iratus managed to compromise and hijack Dinh's armor, Spartans at the Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science undertook combat simulations on a virtual recreation of the shipbreaking yard to draw Iratus away from Dinh.^[5]

Overview[edit]

Breaker is a Big Team Battle map split into three distinct sections. The team bases are set on each side of the map, with one side being within the ruins of a UNSC frigate, while the other side is set in and around a decommissioned turbine. Between the two bases is a large Banished facility, featuring a large plasma cutter mounted on a crane that periodically activates and moves across the center of the map.

This map marked the debut of the Last Spartan Standing mode during the Interference narrative event.

Layout[edit]

This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Callouts[edit]

The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's heads-up display during gameplay:

Turbine Base
Turbine Pit
Turbine Interchange
Turbine Blast Deck
Overlook
Garbage Chute
Tunnel
Launch Ramps
Flappy Flap
Blast Pit
Blast House
Frigate Base
Frigate Interchange
Frigate Blast Deck

Production Notes[edit]

This map was designed with Capture The Flag in mind, specifically with the aim of creating "high-tension flag moments around the laser beam".^[6] Breaker was also used to prototype the Last Spartan Standing mode by playing a free-for-all variant of Attrition on it before iterating.^[7]
