‘Tis the season for giving (your opponent) a sticky grenade to the face. At least, that’s what Halo Infinite’s holiday-themed shenanigans suggest.
Winter Contingency, a new multiplayer event for Halo Infinite, is full of peppermint-colored cosmetics after players can get by completing Big Team Battle or Arena matches.

The Winter Contingency event kicked off Tuesday and runs until Dec. 30. However, players will have until Jan. 4, 2022, to pick up any items they might have missed.
Check out a brief teaser for Winter Contingency below.
