Halo Infinite Season 2, Lone Wolves, is drawing to a close and 343 Industries have released an update on August 25 to nerf scope glint and drop some bug fixes. Here are the full Halo Infinite August 25 update patch notes.
The 6-month-long Halo Infinite Season 2 is set to wrap up at the start of November, ushering in Season 3 and all of its content. There will be new maps and modes as well as the fan-favorite Forge mode making a return.
This is all still a couple of months away, and Halo Infinite‘s devs dropped a new update on August 25 that nerfs scope glint and clears up some UI errors. You can check out the full patch notes below.
Scope glint nerfed in Halo Infinite August 25 update
343 Industries dropped a Halo Infinite update on August 25, and the headline change is that the scope glint on “precision weapons” such as the S7 Sniper, Shock Rifle, and Battle Rifle has been nerfed. Now, the shooter won’t be completely covered by the glint and they’ll be much easier to see.
The devs made a couple of other changes too, where players who own both Battle Passes won’t see the “Congratulations” message after every match, and the Ranked Arena playlist image should now load correctly when in the menus.
