Halo Infinite Season 2 patch notes revealed for huge update

It’s been a big week for Halo Infinite, with the highly anticipated season 2 of the sci-fi shooter: Lone Wolf now updated on console and PC. In addition to adding new maps and modes — including the battle royale-style The Last of Spartans — the update also lists a long list of balance changes, bug fixes, and other improvements to the core experience.

The full patch notes are out now, shared on the Halo support site, below. First, melee damage in multiplayer and campaign has been reduced by 10% across the board. Specifically, this change reduces Mangler’s lethality, as it now requires two knockdowns instead of one. Battle Rifles now have more melee damage in ranked multiplayer.

Meanwhile, the Marauder has seen its base shot so much that it can now be used for two-shot kills. Gear-wise, Drop Wall is now stronger and faster to deploy, while Overshield now provides an extra half-shield.

The vehicle has also seen some changes, with adjustments to the vehicle’s tire position and suspension improving the Warthog’s handling on uneven terrain. Meanwhile, Chopper can now kill all vehicles in one hit except Scorpion and Wraith. Banshee sees its mobility and weapon damage increased.

Developer 343 has also tweaked the player’s mobility, so that the speed gained by sliding into the ramp is reduced proportionally to the height of the fall. Meanwhile, Jumping saw an update that included collision fixes on all multiplayer maps.

This is just a very, very small sample of what’s new in Season 2: Lone Wolf. Be sure to read GameSpot’s expanded Halo Infinite: Season 2 Lone Wolves coverage for more info, and check out the full patch notes below. Note that these minor changes are in addition to the new free content available in Season 2, including new maps and Microsoft’s iconic mascot, Clippy.
