Difficulty Modes
Below is a list of all difficulty modes in Halo Infinite’s Campaign Mode.
| Difficulty Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Easy | “Take in the sights and sounds around the Ring as you slaughter outmatched adversaries. Recommended for players new to Halo.”
The easiest difficulty setting offering the least amount of challenge even for new players and allows you to simply enjoy the main story of Halo Infinite. |
| Normal | “Brutal enemies threaten humanity and test your indomitable spirit. First-person shooter experience recommended.”
The game’s default difficulty. |
| Heroic | “Your foes are well-armed and resolute. Quell the storm and ride the thunder. Recommended for veteran Halo players.”
Significantly more challenging difficulty mode compared to Normal. Enemies act more intelligently, have higher shields, and deal more damage. Stronger variants of regular enemies also appear more frequently. |
| Legendary | “Run, little Demon. Recommended for fans of Jackal Snipers.”
The game’s hardest difficulty mode. Enemies act even more intelligently, have even higher shields, and deal even more damage. Stronger variants of regular enemies will appear even more frequently, particularly Jackal Snipers. |
Which Difficulty Should You Start On?
It is generally recommended to start your first playthrough of Halo Infinite’s Campaign Mode on Normal, especially if you have little to no experience in first-person shooter games. This is because the game’s offline story mode has been designed with Normal difficulty in mind, as a way for new players to get a feel for the default challenge it offers.
Once you find Normal difficulty to be too easy, feel free to start a harder playthrough of the game on Heroic and Legendary.
