What It Takes To Get MAX Rank on Halo Infinite - Hero Rank

[@MintBlitz]

Halo Infinite's Max Rank Hero requires 9,319,350xp to achieve. Each kill is worth 100xp, 180xp in BTB. It will take roughly 90,000 kills or 50,000 in BTB modes. I've linked helpful websites to track your progress in the description :)

[@bro3217]

So impossible if you have a job that isn’t content creating lmao

[@alexanderforrest1983]

Is that from bronze recruit to hero or just the XP from the 2nd highest rank to highest rank?

[@nickm5419]

throw this game in the trash, get a real job

[@spookytown7963]

​@@nickm5419well, his "fake job" allows him to be his own boss and do what he finds enjoyable in life, I don't see any good reason for someone to drop it 😂

[@Vann71]

Is there an expiration to get max rank? When does it reset if at all…

[@vullord666]

Master Chief's armor is the perfect reward for max XP rank. It gives it a mythical feel and something that's great to see because you KNOW those players earned it (if not by being crazy good, then being crazy grinders that love Halo Infinite). Play a lot, get Chiefs armor. I wish they did similar "legend" cores for lower ranks (like even just older models of Master Chiefs armor). Some stuff shouldn't be available to purchase and should only be earnable.

[@tisal117]

totally agree, wish they were doing the same with the combat evolved armor for completing the campaign on legendary

[@Catalana2096]

@@tisal117 I’m just happy it’s gonna be free

[@ayans22]

I would prefer it being a reward for completing campaign on legendary or LASO. Though, I’m happy its in multiplayer now.

[@shawncollins5127]

I feel they could have made this a Vidmaster 2.0 armor reward honestly.

[@nickgaidin]

100% Agree - I love that if you see MC on the field, you immediately know this person knows the game. As you said, some things need to be earned.

[@obsoletecd-rom]

If they started the progression system from the release date I would have been one of the first people in the world to have it. You have no idea how frustrating that is. To know that I have to grind another x amount of games for the achievement after already having almost 9500 matches.

[@andrewladis5056]

I cant believe there was no retroactive XP. Terrible choice

[@mikesta6337]

⁠@@andrewladis5056 ya, there was going to be retroactive with a cap but enough people complained that they wanted a reset so 343 listened.

[@deangelowilson5414]

Yeah I see how frustrating that would be.

[@YoDz-117]

We can blame no life streamers for that. They complained to 343 so they took it off the plans. At one point it was gonna be retroactive with a cap

[@SrLeo-vf3xo]

Husky raid is awesome when you are the one doing spwn kills, but it f** sucks when you are the one getting spawned killed 😂😂

[@Bagginsess]

90 kills would be doable for me if the game gave me better weapons than a plasma pistol, pulse carbine, or assault rifle. I'll get one match where I actually regularly get power weapons and get 50+ kills then for the next 10 matches I get nothing. Gotta love SBMM.

[@burddog0792]

@@Bagginsess I want a version of HR with no power weapons. The best players will be versatile with everything, rather than just getting lucky with power weapons.

[@sierra121cyan]

Husky Raid is the only gamemode where I don't feel the pure cancer of SBMM when I play. It's so refreshing. Every match (almost) feels like a real struggle to see which team is better, it's rarely a one-sided stomp. I also get about 20 kills a match, sometimes 30ish, at the very least, 10-15. Capturing flags- always try it when you have thrusters or grapples to make you faster. It gets you 310 points pretty easily for taking and capturing the flag. Try to return your flag every chance you get- even if it's right by it's spawn, because it gets you 25ish points, which is a nice little bonus. I'm about halfway through Silver and chugging along nicely after trying Husky Raid and playing a bunch.

Thx to husky raid, I've had the most fun playing a videogame in a _while_

I've been ranking up pretty quickly on Firefight matches. So I've been doing that and am on gold private 2/3. So Now I know how much more I need to go, thanks!

[@aerodynamicmilk]

thanks for this video and clearing up some misconceptions. I thing i've been doing is swapping between husky and btb so i dont get locked out of matchmaking as often as I would sticking to one playlist, sbmm is the real killer of the grind

[@spartnmarcen5110]

Free for all not being viable hurts my soul. I love that mode and gladly would've stayed there for this goal.

[@youtubeterminatedmyaccount8882]

im not in a rush to max rank like that. ill still be enjoying ffa.

[@MasonOfLife]

Just look at the exp you get from an average game of FFA, the. Compare to your average game of BTB and Husky Raid Mint will have much harder of a time finding games because of his skill level, I’ve never had a problem and it’s my fav playlist I think it’s pretty much as viable as any other playlist (in BTB I don’t do well) so the only other playlist that would be better is Husky Raid, I just go back and fourth between FFA and Husky Raid mostly

[@MintBlitz]

@@MasonOfLifeFFA is 2500 xp per game. Husky and BTB can give almost 4 times that with relatively similar match times

[@MasonOfLife]

@@MintBlitz for people who are as good as you 😂 I get 10 kills max in BTB and never more than 30 in husky raid Granted I get about 15-20 in FFA, but it’s not big enough a difference to really sway for me (or your average Joe I’d assume)

[@_philadams]

Agree with this. Big team is also really fun when you're with friends, but as a solo, most often the other team has all the vehicles and power weapons and there is little you can do. In FFA you can often still get kills even if your teammates aren't helpful.

[@Nes-xm3pf]

Perhaps having double XP boost weekends that work toward the career progression could keep the gamers engaged more!

[@chaos2mymind489]

Thing that annoyed me is I played a hell of a lot before the progression system then had to start again at the lowest rank when it came out

[@anthem4333]

When I play BTB my teammates never ever pick up the power weapons. So I hop in the banshee and die immediately, while the enemy banshee stays alive the whole round

[@giantslayer9335]

I’m one of them. I hate the power weapons. They’re just to easy to get kills with & I don’t feel right using them. I’d rather die over & over & lose the match than use those broken arse weapons. I also don’t use weapons that are ugly either because fuck that shit

[@TutonicKnight]

man... i hope they add the bonus to Squad Battles. I find it much more enjoyable than Big team Battle...

[@RyanB571]

Well applied score = XP according to 343 So in theory, if you average 5000 score per game on firefight it would only take 1864 games of firefight.

[@h20god117]

Rn Firefight is what I'm doing and it gets my rank fast since I'm mostly good player

[@emryslee]

All points earned during game is counted as XP for rank. In Husky raid if you catch flag it’s 300 counts as 3 kills.

I wish we could get some of the other “heros” soon. For my ODST fans, Spartan Buck would be a great

[@thattempleguy6712]

"there's nothing we can do" -Napoleon but seriously this will take me literal years, i usually average around.. 5/10 kills each match (im very casual) it would take way too long, hopefully when firefight comes out it makes the grind a bit less tedious

I've noticed in Firefight mode if you stay in the hill and earn kills you get 3,000 to 5,000 xp/personnel score. Been doing this since it came out and I'm finally at Diamond General it does take a while to play firefight especially if you get a few defeats, but it is worth it.

If they did that couldn’t people just buy XP boosts and boost their way there??
