The Tactical Slayer playlist includes the original mode, called SWAT in previous Halo titles, with Battle Rifles and no peripherals such as a radar, shield or grenades. The mode will also have four variations in the playlist: Commandos, Sidekicks, Stalker Rifles and Manglers. Mangler and Sidekick will be available in Week 1 and Commandos and Stalker Rifles will join in Week 2.
The cosmetics that will be up for grabs are more within the canonical Halo fiction than previous cosmetics given out in free events. These 10 items are all themed around the Mark VII Core, with the Mark V ZETA up for grabs as one of the premier items in the fifth tier.
The 10 tiers of new cosmetics include a Spartan Stance, Purple Armor Visor, an Emile’s Helmet charm, Crossing Swords backdrop, Mark V Zeta helmet, Mark VII chest and hip Attachment, along with gloves, orange and silver armor coating and helmet attachment.
To unlock these new cosmetics, players will need to complete the 10 Tactical Ops challenges in the new Halo event. All challenges must be completed in the event playlist.
The challenges are as follows:
- Kill enemy Spartans with the Battle Rifle in Tactical Slayer (seven times)
- Earn distinct killing sprees in Tactical Slayer
- Kill enemy Spartans with a headshot in Tactical Slayer (12 times)
