Fracture: Firewall

Fracture: FIREWALL returns from April 11-18!



The second of FIREWALL’s four weeks is here, giving you another opportunity to outfit your Executor’s CHIMERA Armor Core with a variety of free limited-time customization rewards.

Just like last time, there is no event-specific playlist that players have to dive into – play what you want, complete FIREWALL-themed Event Challenges, and progress (or finish) your free Event Pass.

For those of you who have already been progressing that free 20-tier Event Pass, this week is your first opportunity to finish the fight and complete all twenty tiers. Doing so will make you eligible for Season 3’s Halo Gear Reward: the FIREWALL Logo Pin.

The Fracture: FIREWALL Event Pass is free and offers players themed, limited-time rewards for playing multiplayer matches and completing Event Challenges while the event is live.

During FIREWALL event weeks, the Event Pass will appear in your Season 3 progress menu between the Battle Pass and your Challenges. Each week, players can unlock up to 10 tiers of their 20-tier Event Pass.

FIREWALL event weeks are scheduled for the following dates:
  • Week 1: March 21-28
  • Week 2: April 11-18
  • Week 3: May 23-30
  • Week 4: June 13-20

Let’s take a look at some of the customization items you’ll be unlocking…

[h2]Precipice, Part 2[/h2]

Alongside the return of Fracture: FIREWALL is the next part of the choose your own adventure-style Story Shard series, Precipice.

Last time, High Auxiliary Sloan mused about the state of the Created in the wake of Cortana’s final sacrifice at Zeta Halo and set plans into motion to lay the foundations for the future of their kind.

Sloan’s answer takes the form of the Executor, who has been placed into a simulation for analysis and study of the choices they make in different scenarios.

In Part 2, the Executor is deployed to Carinae Station and tasked with retrieving an artifact of great importance – but they’ll have to defeat a Spartan to claim this prize...

[h3]How does it work?[/h3]

Upon completion of each qualifying event, the player will receive a reward code via their Halo Waypoint Profile.

When you complete each event, simply visit Halo Waypoint online or via mobile and sign into your account to trigger your reward. The reward code will be delivered to you via Waypoint notifications.

Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for the code to be delivered after completion of an event.

Once you receive the reward code, visit the Halo Gear Shop and hop to the respective Pin product page to proceed with your purchase. The price will look REALLY high, but don’t worry!
