Halo Infinite Exploring Out of Bounds Secrets

[@awwthatstragic]

I feel like somewhere there's a game dev watching this and smiling knowing that at least some people will see and appreciate all the hours they put into these areas.

[@Snake-bq3kf]

That’s funny I was actually thinking “I wonder if there’s someone at 343 seething right now because they didn’t think players would be able to access these unfinished areas.” Two different types of people I guess haha

[@CabbageGod]

​@@Snake-bq3kf As a game dev, I think we all expect players to find stuff like this. There's a general rule that if you don't want players to find something then don't put it in the game. Once consumers can download it onto their computers then that's it, they are going to find absolutely everything. Even if it means modding the game to hell and/or tearing apart the game files.

[@ryan3335]

@Lalo Salamanca I sorta agree, some places on the map are really beautiful but I think it would be cooler if they had some different biomes like the desert biome u see at the end of the game on the far sid of the ring

[@zinematics]

Theory: It's also possible that the northern island is going to be used for a future Campaign DLC. It seems really strange to have a giant island with that much detail and still have it show up on the Tacmap if they were never planning to go back and use it at some point. Fingers crossed they also have other new areas in the future though, like that desert at the end of the campaign.

The north island was most likely planned to be included in the main campaign before the 2/3 of the game was cut. Hopefully future DLCs make use of it. It's disappointing that 1/4 of the entire map is unused. Also is it me that thinks those large areas would be perfect for scarab fights.

[@themightyquinnm190]

The northern island has an unused and unfinished health pack, that when touched, applies a green hud effect, like when using an over shield but green. It then proceeds to immediately to crash the game. I want to get footage of it, but every time I’ve gotten to it, I’ve touched it by accident and crashed my game 😂

[@unknown.nm16]

Hey man, could you help me out pls. I died just before the house of reckoning and spawned at a random fob base on the main part of the map. How could I get back to the house of reckoning so I can continue the campaign?

[@alejandroaros4033]

Was that a little red thing? I was out of bonds and saw it, when i touched it, the game crashed and a green screen appeared

[@themightyquinnm190]

@@alejandroaros4033 That’s the one, if you have a vehicle you can knock it about but touch it on foot and that’s it, crash 😂

[@Espartanica]

I'd also highly recommend using another easy glitch to fly a Pelican. You have to set it up at the nearby FOB before activating invincibility, but then you'll be able to hover in place at will, with a much more zoomed out view of the world. And of course, it's a Pelican, in an open world level, which is something we've wanted for a long time

[@JustFred]

The Pelican glitch was discovered after I had made the video, but yes, a very solid option. it's nice to be able to hover when exploring! :)

[@Teh_Bean]

The thing about that though is you can't leave regions with the pelican, so it wouldn't work for this at all.

[@Espartanica]

@@Teh_Bean Just go God mode and fly under the barriers. Pretty much every barrier in the game doesn't extend down to the bottom of thr map, only the kill zone, so you can explore just fine that way. I did it myself.

[@Kaliburrrr]

The North Island looks a lot closer to what we were promised at E3, and I would love to see it be finished whether for modders or 343

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

i get the feeling that the area with the big lake and singular sniper, will most likely become some kind of playable area in the future, possibly with some kind of dlc.

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

Its called placemarkers its a technique a lot of large scale maps use which is hiding models for quick use in plain sight at the same time out of sight. It allows for models to be rapidly accessed when queued to spawn in. A lot of open world games don't actually change geometry and geography assets but rather just have modifications done to the original asset. All in effort to reduce the games size. And allow the area that the player sees to be rendered in as hight quality as possible. Most games use a tick system that is suppose to only spawn in areas that the game detects the player has passed to generate the next area. This system however comes with a lot of bugs. As the tick system for map loading is often MONO-directional meaning unless coded properly its easy to make ticks/map loading over lap and dual load maps causing walls to not spawn in correcty allowing creative gamers to escape normal boundries. The thing with Halo inf is getting outside of the map can have consequences such as the game hanging or freezing almost entirely. To a degree one must restart the level. As in game the user will lose functionality.

[@alvzcizzler]

Thank you so much of making this video I really wanted to explore that island where the big lake is but I was not able to do the invincibility glitch and now I wanna go and explore it even more, I just subscribed and hopefully you can do more videos like this one!

[@JustFred]

Thank you for time kind words! :)

[@lbco13]

I'm really excited to see what is added over the next few years to the campaign. Certain articles and places hinted at massive amounts of cut content, like the Northern island. Hers hoping that one day all of that cut content is readded to the campaign as dlc

[@bakubread9308]

it was very bizarre to me to get to The Road and be faced with the fact that you're not allowed to explore what is essentially an entire third of the map at ALL. Gotta be future content.

[@MajorityFFA]

You’re off to a great start, my dude, I look forward to seeing you do well and eagerly await the next video.

[@Menry3427]

The mission Pelican Down is in its own completely different worldspace just like Outpost Tremonius during its quest. It's not that the interactive elements haven't spawned in they are in a second version of the island. Would be interesting to see if there are any difference in the rest of the map while in that separate worldspace.

[@sniperofgodz3169]

The random effects and particles you find are these spots made by developers where they put effects as a placeholder, and then copy and paste them into the game where needed, which is why in some games, if you glitch out of bounds, you can find white baseplates with models, effects, and animations

[@godzillagamr3215]

I feel like the island in the top right is going to be released when they add co op because even if you have finished the game you have something fun and new to discover with your friends.

[@lithonious636]

theres something just out of bounds on the third level when you go outside for the first time, just across from the front of the downed friggat floating above the cliff on the other side, where you get the tank gun, havent been able to venture out to see what it is yet

I really want you to go try to find that place in the skyline that looks like a guardian. In the horizon line we can see what looks like a bunch of triangles and spikes and I want to see if you can go there.

[@JustFred]

I'm currently looking into ways to make that possible, it is unfortunately outside of the outer barrier surrounding the map, and I am currently not aware of any glitch to go outside of it. But I can confirm that it is a crashed Guardian. In a tweet thread for one of the trailers a user said (paraphrasing) "is that a crashed guardian in the horizon?" and a developer / community manager answered something along the lines of "good eyes" / "well done". I've also seen someone using noclip / mods that took an up-close photo of it :)

@@JustFred yooo can you link the upclose photo here as a reply? or where can I find itt

I really hope they open up more exploration. I so badly wanted to fly down the spine. And explore the big island. And that cave? Like wtf? Haha Thanks for showing it off! Fingers crossed for the future I guess.

[@coolshirt]

I explored under the maps there's a few places to fly under the devs left open for exploration. One spot is a perfect square. Another you gotta fly under and up and over. Another spot you can land and walk right on in look around deep and wide. There are many other places to splunk around. I tried getting into campaign parts. Under there you can see some original design but not much. I really don't understand why they left so much under the map and in places no one would see. Maybe to make the game file larger for some reason idk but they left a massive amount of detail under the map. Accidental caves were made where I went exploring in for hours hoping to find the goods. I managed in one spot to get out of my wasp under the map. Get above ground. Snag a audio file. Get back underground and grapple back around to the wasp through the pitch black squares that surrounded the tunnel systems.

[@JustFred]

That sounds interesting would be really cool id you could share the location of the cave where you can get in and out of the map 🙂

[@rushboardtechuk]

The assumption for a lot of players is, after you've completed the campaign and got all collectibles, the only thing remaining is multiplayer. Not so. The game's Zeta Halo is an open world, so there is every chance the Campaign mode could be extended in 2022, via paid DLC content. This would make sense, since despite some areas are "currently" unpopulated, the level of detail in these would suggest they are still being worked on by the studio, for deployment as future missions.

[@nonofyourbusiness7631]

Halo Infinite is a "10 year game". There will absolutely be more story DLCs

[@LazyLoonz]

@@nonofyourbusiness7631 i think the real reason for them saying that is because they thought they can handle a freetoplay type of game but failed because lack of content

[@Unchainedful]

I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news, but I didn’t want anyone to get their hopes up. A lot of people are talking about future campaign dlc, about a month ago 343 and Xbox confirmed they will no longer be supporting the campaign of Halo Infinite, they permanently canceled all planned single player dlc. Though they will continue supporting Halo Infinite multiplayer with future updates and dlc. 343 stated that they will completely scratch Halo Infinite and rework the entire game and plot from the ground up in the next Halo game, they will continue the story in their issued books.

What about the guardian in the background ?? Surprised no one goes to it

[@JustFred]

It is outside of the outer barrier that prevents players from going any further. And even if one was able to go through the outer barrier it could be the case that it is so far out that it despawns the player character. I'm looking into options but it isn't as easy to get to as the unused islands.

Couldn’t find my way back to the entrance and climbing up the caves seeing the invisible ground. Couldn’t make it through. Seeing the enemies and they could hear I was near just under their feet.

[@JustFred]

I didn't find it myself on my exploration but I later saw someone showing it off, I think it's been figured out to be an untextured/unfinished health pack! The crash may be caused by the game trying to execute some script or function in the code that doesn't exist when touching it :)

I found out today that flying too close to the House of Reckoning doesn't just trigger the time of day; it triggers the entire mission. Speedrunners could potentially utilize the Invincibility glitch, travel to FOB Hotel, and fly all the way to the House and skip approximately 60% of the game. I've had to delete my Legendary save because it marks all the missions before as done, so I don't want to get the achievement on a glitch.

[@FirestormDDash]

You can trigger the invincibility without the groundpound but it takes you falling into the laser well already in your map, i think you need the fast travel prompt up too. But the interesting thing is you can then back out and find yourself pushed down the hole. But if you fast traveled after your sure you were hit by the laser you would be you would be also invincible. I also had it trigger when I died above the laser and my dead body hit the laser just as the checkpoint reloaded. That bugged the game out a bit tho.
