The much-anticipated Cyber Showdown is finally live in Halo Infinite, and players are having a great time with everything that the event has to offer.

One of the biggest highlights of the new event are the neon-tinted cosmetic sets that have hit the store, and the challenge rewards. There is also a new game mode in town, called Attrition. Further, for a limited amount of time, players will get to play a variation of the Slayer PVP mode, which emphasizes more on teamwork and squad coordination.

The new event comes with its own weekly challenges and rewards, and some of these challenges are directly tied to Attrition itself. Players will need to play the mode, complete challenges, and earn XP in order to unlock rewards that are exclusive to the event.

The article talks about all the weekly challenges that have arrived with Cyber Showdown, and the 10 free event-exclusive rewards that they will help to unlock.

There will be 10 event-specific challenges in Cyber Showdown, and to complete them, players will need to spend a bit of time in Attrition, as the missions are tied up to the new game mode.

Attrition is a lot like the Tenrai event’s Fiesta Slayer. However, instead of players respawning with a random weapon after every death, they will have shared lives. Spartans will be divided into two teams of four, with each squad sharing 8 lives, the depletion of which will lead them to lose the round.

Attrition will be a best-of-three mode, and players will need to revive their teammates by channeling into the “glory orb” that spawns where they fall. Hence, the mode will require a great deal of teamwork and coordination amongst Spartans.

Here is a list of all the weekly challenges that the new Halo Infinite game mode comes with:

  • Revive downed teammates in Attrition (1) - 300 XP
  • Kill enemy Spartans in Attrition (7) - 300 XP
  • Get assists in Attrition (20) - 350 XP
