Fracture Tenrai Event Guide: Halo Infinite While rumors and speculation swirled for days, Microsoft surprised everyone by releasing the multiplayer portion of Halo Infinite during the Xbox’s special 20th Anniversary event. Given how well the Multiplayer Test Flights were received by the community, it’s likely that 343 felt comfortable launching a little early, even if the current experience is classified as beta. Players flocked to the online experience after the release of Halo Infinite multiplayer and began progressing through the first season battle pass.
Even as a beta until the official launch on December 8, players can play and progress without fear of losing anything once the experience is fully released.
The first free event for Halo Infinite multiplayer arrives this week, bringing the much-anticipated Spartan Yoroi Armor as well as other goodies to collect. Here’s everything you need to know about the Fracture Tenrai event, which is only available for a limited time.

What exactly is Fraction: Tenrai?
New limited-time events will added to Halo Infinite on a regular basis, similar to what other live service titles such as Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone do.
The 30 Tier Event Pass for this first Halo Infinite event, Fractures: Tenrai, is completely free for all players. According to 343, while Tenrai is active, players will earn themed and limited time rewards simply by playing multiplayer matches and completing event challenges.
How long is it going to be available?
Fractures Tenrai begins today, November 23, and will run for one week, ending on November 30.
However, 343 Industries confirmed that this event will reoccur six times during the first season of Halo: Infinite, which recently extended until May 2022. Tenrai’s next arrival date will be in January 2022. Needless to say, players should not feel obligated to complete all achievements in the next seven days.
What Role Does It Play in Halo Lore?
While this may appear to be just a special Halo event with unique armour for players to earn, 343 Industries has made sure to create lore to help it fit into the larger Halo universe.
These Fracture events, according to 343, represent divergent timelines and universes. Tenrai an alternate reality where Yoroi suits forged from the raw energies of the land using ancient karakuri arts. The armour handcrafted for young samurai to aid in the defence of their clan and the lands against Covenant incursions. Originally, the various clans were divided and at odds with one another, but with the arrival of the Covenant and their “glass dragoons,” this changed.
Unlocks the Tenrai Event Pass
Player participation will assist players in progressing through all 30 ranks of the free event pass. Progress will also carry over between event occurrences. So teirs earned over the next week will retained when Tenrai returns in January 2022. While the Legendary Yoroi Armor is the main draw for many players. The Event Pass contains a plethora of cosmetic and customization items themed around Tenrai.
Weapon coatings such as the Sol Devil and Whispered Sky will give the Sidekick. BR75 Battle Rifle, and MA40 AR a distinct appearance. Backdrops, nameplates, and emblems can also earned for your Spartan ID. Additional armour pieces can also unlocked to increase your chances of success.

Freebies and the Ultimate Unlock
Players who log in during the first Tenrai event will receive the legendary Fracture backdrop. Which can used to customise the Spartan ID card. The backdrop features the event’s name, the Yoroi armour in the background. And what appears to be a crumbling Halo ring in the centre.
Players who complete all weekly challenges will gain access to a special armour coating called Willow Tea for the Mark VII armour core. It gives players a samurai-inspired look that differs from the Yoroi armour.
Gameplay Modes
In addition to all of the rewards and cosmetics, the Fractures: Tenrai event will introduce a new game mode called Fiesta. This game mode designed to add some unpredictability to a match by providing players with new and randomised weapons each time they spawn. Needless to say, Fiesta will most likely be more chaotic than the other Halo Infinite modes available, such as Oddball.
The Multiplayer Beta for Halo Infinite is now available on PC, Xbox One. And Xbox Series X/S, with the full game releasing on December 8.
