Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is familiar enough for longtime series players to acclamate to, while also welcoming enough for newcomers to get the reigns of. For a series veteran like Mint Blitz,Halo Infinitemay be getting a bit too easy for them, as they rack an insane 100-game win-streak in free-for-all (FFA) Slayer.
Completing such a task would make one think all Mint Blitz has been doing sinceHalo Infinitelaunched is play FFA, but that really just isn’t the case. In the lead up toHalo Infiniteand immediately after the game’s launch, Mint Blitz has been active in practically every aspect of learning about the game. One week Mint Blitz is discovering acampaign Easter egg of Craig the Brute, and in the next week they’re making videos showing the untapped potential of Grappleshot movement in multiplayer. It is not as if they could have been playing FFA from the start anyways, it only being added to the game a few weeks ago.

In Mint Blitz' latest YouTube video, they break down how they got 100 straight wins inHalo InfiniteFFA. The Australian streamer and content creator was initially challenged to win 50 games of FFA straight, but as Mint Blitz explains in the video’s introduction, as they kept playing, hitting 100 wins seemed even more attainable. As there is currentlyno official way of trackingHalo Infinitemultiplayer statisticsin-game or on Halo Waypoint (besides armor and battle pass progression), Mint Blitz displays a feed of all their wins courtesy of HaloTracker. Attentive viewers will notice one loss as the feed continues, however, Mintz Blitz explaining that their PC crashed, showing the footage of it as well.
After the introduction,Mint Blitz provides a seemingly endless highlight reelof footage from the 100 matches while discussing some of the game’s current events. An observation that they made from their time in FFA was the lack of sniper weapons throughout the mode in general, them sometimes certainly appearing, but in most cases it being a Skewer or being totally absent. They go on to say that they began approaching the matches differently, no longer being able to rely on the presence of the sniper weapons for creating montage worthy material. As a result, the video is full of non-traditional plays, from Plasma Grenade sticks, incredible equipment plays, and plenty of Ninja Medals.
Mint Blitz at one point mentions howback in theHalo 3days, they could just grab a sniper in FFA on practically any map and go to work. This somewhat resonates with howHalo Infiniteboth accepts and rejects many of the series' traditions, like weapon availability, making an experience that both returning and new players can enjoy. Returning players can thrive nearly anywhere, but new players should also get a fighting chance, perhaps explaining some ofHalo Infinite’s skewed weapon drops.
Halo Infiniteis available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
