Halo Infinite August Drop Pod is arriving on Aug. 9, giving fans a chance at new content and cosmetics. 343 Industries described the upcoming patch. “This update is set to expand each player’s customization options, include QoL improvements, and will lay the groundwork for even more community-requested features.”
One of the first cosmetic features is based on the visors.

Visors will now work on all cores.
“At present, there are a multitude of visors in the game split across the 5 armor cores. If you’ve wanted to use the shiny gold Noble visor (which has hitherto been locked to the Mark V [B] armor core) to complete your look on any of your other cores, you’ll be able to make that happen when the August Drop Pod lands. What this means is that all visors that are currently in the game, and all future visors to come, will work across all helmets from all armor cores.”
The preview also shows off certain attachments to certain helmets giving players more choices.
“On the multiplayer experience front, this update will make it easier for us to implement more Ranked playlists moving forward. Kicking things off will be Ranked Doubles, which is set to land two weeks after the Drop Pod’s release – along with a CSR reset. Additionally, a social Team Doubles playlist will be accompanying Ranked Doubles on its launch day, meaning Halo Infinite will be getting twice the 2v2 fun.”
Finally, 343 introduced some new UI additions in certain menus including the pause menu.
