Halo Infinite: new campaign save details – Xboxygen

343 Industries has published a memo to the entire Halo community explaining many details regarding the save and progression system in the Campaign. Halo Infinite. Details that are welcome after players learn that it is for the time being impossible to replay campaign missions individually. The development teams say that these tips will be very useful for content creators, speedrunners, testers and simply gamers.

An unprecedented operation in the license

Unlike previous titles, Halo Infinite integrates a linear progression while offering an open world that offers the Zeta halo. Two automatic backup systems frame this campaign.

We first find the checkpoint which will be the point where the game returns in the event of the player’s death. There is no “Return to Checkpoint” option in Halo Infinite. The second autosave system keeps player progress and the state of the universe at a time T. This means that if you quit the game, you will resume your next session from where the autosave took place. and not where you left the game since the player cannot save themselves.

As you found out, it is impossible to replay Campaign Missions at this time, but four save slots allow you to create four different concurrent sessions. Each of these progressions is independent of the others until you delete them. However, they are linked by a single point: collectable items (skulls, audio recordings, etc.).

Indeed, these elements will be saved by player profile and not by campaign session. When you have picked them up, these items will disappear from the map and enter your global database (TacMap) for all your sessions.

If you pick up the skull from the first mission in campaign session A, when you create campaign session B, it will mark that mission’s skull has already been found and it will not physically appear. The only way to make them reappear is to delete the player’s data from the in-game memory.

Finally, the game cleans all vehicles and weapons inside the base when capturing an advanced operations base (FOB). To keep your arsenal unequipped, you must leave it outside the structure.

All these details will reassure collectors and perfectionists wishing to complete the Halo Infinite campaign from A to Z. To replay the missions, it will always be necessary to create a new session, but now you know that the progress of the items to be collected is linked between each of your sessions.
