Halo Infinite Launches S&D Extraction Mode with Advanced Economy
Despite being somewhat overshadowed by other titles, Halo Infinite continues to captivate fans with regular content updates. The development team has recently unveiled an exciting new competitive game mode called S&D Extraction, which promises to deliver a fresh and strategically deep experience for players.
Drawing inspiration from Valve's Counter-Strike, S&D Extraction introduces unique twists to the formula. The mode pits two teams of four players against each other: one team assumes the role of attackers, tasked with planting a device at a designated point, while the other team defends. After each round, the teams switch roles, adding a dynamic element to the gameplay. Victory is achieved by securing six rounds.
A key feature of S&D Extraction is its extensive economic system. Players can purchase equipment at the start of each round using in-game currency earned through objectives. The prices of equipment fluctuate based on performance, and all gear vanishes after the round concludes. The cost of items is determined by their effectiveness and power within a round, with more potent items naturally commanding higher prices. Players can expect more affordable options in the early rounds, escalating to pricier choices mid-match, and potentially even more expensive gear toward the end if they save their earnings. Additionally, players have the option to pay for a respawn after being eliminated, adding another layer of strategy to the game.
Set to launch for Halo Infinite in 2025, S&D Extraction promises a dynamic and engaging competitive experience that will undoubtedly excite fans of the franchise.
