Halo Infinite's Winter Contingency event is live now and it's an appropriately festive one. Named after the iconic campaign level from Halo Reach, the multiplayer event offers Spartans the chance to pick up unique, "holiday-themed" cosmetic rewards for playing matches each day.
Originally teased during the Halo Infinite Holiday 2021 Community Stream, the Winter Contingency event features an "advent calendar" of cosmetic rewards throughout its run, including armor pieces, weapon skins, emblems and more. One new reward will roll out daily, from December 21 through December 30, with a total of 10 unique holiday-themed rewards up for grabs.
Winter Contingency is Halo Infinite's second notable multiplayer event after the previous Fractures: Tenrai event, which let Spartans unlock the seriously cool-looking Yoroi armor alongside a bunch of other neat cosmetics.
While we don't yet know the full scope of rewards that will feature in the Winter Contingency multiplayer event, we have seen a few sneak peeks of what we can expect. So read on for everything you need to know about Halo Infinite's Winter Contingency multiplayer event.
When does the Winter Contingency event take place?
The Winter Contingency event for Halo Infinite's multiplayer began on December 21, 2021, and runs until January 4, 2022, as per an official 343 Industries blog post.
Much like the Fractures: Tenrai event, Winter Contingency will be free for all players to access, regardless of whether they've purchased the Premium Battle Pass or not. There is also a separate event pass for Winter Contingency, which players can use to earn the exclusive rewards present during the event's two-week period. But, unlike the Tenrai event, any challenge you complete will go towards unlocking new tiers in the event battle pass, rather than event challenges.
If you're (understandably) going to be away from your Xbox Series X/S or PC over the festive period, there's a slim chance that 343 Industries will elect to run the Winter Contingency event multiple times in the coming months, as it's doing with the previous Fractures: Tenrai event. But, given the event is festive-themed, this seems unlikely.

What rewards can I expect to earn?
While we still don't know the full scale of rewards that will be present during the Winter Contingency event, 343 Industries did give us some sneak previews during its Holiday 2021 Community Stream.
Rewards shown in the very brief preview trailer include armor pieces, and unique skins and decals for weapons and vehicles like the Warthog.
Load up on cosmetics in campaign
Outside of the Winter Contingency event, you can also fill out your collection of multiplayer cosmetics by simply playing the Halo Infinite campaign.
Scattered throughout the open-world map are special containers that, when opened, will add a unique multiplayer cosmetic to your account. These can be armor pieces, weapon skins, charms and decals, so they're well worth hunting down while you're in between missions. Some are even found within Halo Infinite's main missions, though these are a little harder to find.
