Halo Infinite fans are not happy about progression in its new Fractures: Tenrai event.
While the multiplayer itself for Halo Infinite is brilliant, Fractures: Tenrai’s progression is remarkably stingy. Unlocking rewards during the event requires players to complete specific challenges by hopping into the limited-time Fiesta playlist. Fiesta is fun enough, where the game’s ridiculously fun combat sandbox is on full display thanks to everyone spawning with random weapons.
The issues stem (yet again) from Halo Infinite’s bizarre progression system. There’s an event tracker that’s separate from the standard battle pass and you can’t finish it during the week-long period that Fractures: Tenrai is running. As in like, it’s impossible. So the few high-tier cosmetic items tied to the event are pretty much unattainable this week.
Correct, you will not be able to finish all 30 tiers of the Event Pass in week 1. However, Fracture: Tenrai will return five more times throughout the season. Also, while you can use challenge swaps for Event challenges, players can't purchase tier skips for the Event Pass.

343 Industries promise that the progression system will be less grind-intensive soon. However, the time limit on Fractures: Tenrai is baffling a lot of fans. The event will return several more times over Season 1 of Halo Infinite but that doesn’t change the fact that this whole mess suggests that some aspects of the multiplayer feel rushed.
As always, fans took to social media to vent their frustrations. It’s safe to say that 343 Industries have, frankly, a lot of feedback to sort through! Take a look at some of the backlash for yourself below.
