Today via Xbox Wire, Microsoft has finally announced the day that the long-awaited Warzone Firefight update will arrive in Halo 5: Guardians. The eighth free content update for Guardians will hit June 29, just in time for the game’s 50% discount over the weekend. The game will also be playable from June 29 to July 5 as part of Xbox’s “Free Play Days.”
The update’s biggest addition, Warzone Firefight, finally brings a beloved Halo mode to the newest installment; enabling friends to team up and take on an endless horde of the game’s biggest and baddest in round-based survival. But this is hardly the only new goodies that are a part of this update. The game will also receive three new maps: Attack on Sanctum (Warzone), Prospect (Warzone Assault), and Molten (Arena). So, three new maps, but essentially one new map per primary game mode.
A more curious bonus as a part of this update is a new mode for the Guardians campaign: Score Attack. A returning mode from past Halo games, Score Attack allows cooperative players to compete with each other throughout the campaign in a display of “style and flourish.” If this means what it meant in previous games, then points will be based off the way enemies are killed much more than a simple kill count. The update also adds new REQ items, as has every other update, like the Cinder and Cyclops armor sets and new Covenant vehicle variants.
