Warzone Firefight Beta Coming April 14-18

The biggest Halo cooperative experience in franchise history, Warzone Firefight, is coming later this summer, but today 343 Industries announced plans for a Warzone Firefight Beta – running from 2 p.m. EST on April 14th until 2 p.m. EST on April 18. The beta will feature the Warzone map, Escape from A.R.C., with several additional maps coming with the full release later this summer. Up to eight players will fight together and utilize the Halo 5: Guardians REQ System to complete five rounds of increasingly difficult, dynamic objectives set against a timer to emerge victorious.

In celebration of the new features and content, a new promotional REQ pack will unleash the most powerful REQs in the system. Available for one week only (April 14 – 21), the Mythic Warzone REQ Pack will contain ten Mythic single-use power weapon REQs and one Ultra Rare or Legendary weapon or vehicle certification, if available. For use in all Warzone modes, including Warzone Firefight, this pack will ensure players enter battle with the most powerful gear available.
