Halo Infinite's S&D Extraction Mode Launch with Enhanced Economic Features

Despite being somewhat overshadowed by other titles, Halo Infinite continues to evolve with exciting content updates. The latest addition to the game is a competitive mode called S&D Extraction, which promises to deliver a fresh and strategically deep experience for players.

Inspired by Valve's Counter-Strike, S&D Extraction adds unique twists to the formula. The mode pits two teams of four against each other, with one team acting as attackers who must plant a device on a designated point, while the other team defends it. After each round, the roles switch, and the first team to win six rounds emerges victorious.

A key feature of S&D Extraction is its robust economic system. Players can use in-game currency, earned through completing objectives, to purchase equipment at the beginning of each round. The prices of these items are dynamic, fluctuating based on performance, and all equipment vanishes at the end of each round. The cost of items is tied to their effectiveness and power within a round, with more potent gear commanding higher prices. Players can expect to find cheaper options early in the match, with costs increasing as the game progresses. Saving earnings might allow access to even pricier equipment towards the end. Additionally, players have the option to spend currency to respawn after being eliminated.

Set to launch in 2025, S&D Extraction promises to bring a dynamic and engaging competitive experience to Halo Infinite, catering to fans eager for new challenges and strategic gameplay.
