Halo Infinite’s Tenrai Event Explained: What Tenrai Means

Halo Infinite’s Fracture: Tenrai event has returned, running from January 4 until January 11, 2022. The event, which first appeared in November 2021, will return periodically throughout the rest of the current season at least once per month. Fractures are free limited-time events in Halo Infinite that become available multiple times per Season, with a limited-time Event Pass, similar to the Heroes of Reach Battle Pass but with significantly fewer levels. The Event Pass offers 30 levels of rewards that can be claimed through completing event-specific challenges, mainly in Halo Infinite’s Fiesta mode. The Tenrai event offers a unique and highly sought-after reward: the Yoroi Armor Core, a Samurai-themed Spartan armor.

In response to feedback from Halo Infinite players regarding the first instance of the Fracture: Tenrai event the game’s developer, 343 Industries, has made some changes to the Fracture: Tenrai Event Pass based on feedback from the community. Previously, players were only able to progress seven tiers of the Event Pass per week; this has now been increased to ten tiers per week. Additionally, the priority of Event Challenges in a player’s list of challenges has been increased, so players have more Event Challenges available to them at one time. Halo Infinite players found the Event Pass frustrating when it appeared for the first time last year. Thanks to these changes, the most active Halo players can now level up their Event Pass more quickly and get their hands on all the rewards the event has to offer.

Tenrai (天来) roughly translates to divine or heavenly, whereas Yoroi refers to the armor historically worn by Samurai. Samurai were the hereditary military nobility in Japan from the 12th century until their abolition in the 19th century. Since Halo Infinite’s multiplayer launched in 2021 with a surprise early release, players have been desperate to get their hands on the limited-time Samurai-inspired armor for Halo‘s Spartans. The Fracture: Tenrai event will continue to pop up periodically throughout the rest of Halo Infinite’s Season One. The first Season of Halo Infinite will run until May 2022, when Season Two will begin. Other, different Fractures will appear in the subsequent seasons of the game, although no details are available as of yet.

Halo Infinite’s Fracture: Tenrai Event Pass Has Been Improved

Some Halo Infinite players were disappointed by November’s Fracture: Tenrai Event Pass as they felt too many tiers had rewards of Challenge Swaps and XP Grants, rather than cosmetics. Based on this feedback from Halo Infinite players, the current Event Pass has replaced XP and Challenge Boosts from Tier 10 upwards with cosmetic items instead, adding 11 new cosmetic items for players to obtain. This has perhaps made the event a bit more divine, like its name implies it should be. After criticism over Halo Infinite‘s many microtransactions, some rewards previously limited to the Premium Pass have become part of the free Event Pass instead, increasing the number of free cosmetics available. To complement the Fracture: Tenrai Event Pass cosmetics, Halo Infinite’s in-game store will offer Tenrai customization items available for purchase throughout the event.

Halo Infinite’s Fracture: Tenrai event offers unique rewards and cosmetics revolving around the highly sought-after Samurai-inspired Yoroi Armor Core. While this month’s event is drawing to a close, Halo Infinite players can look forward to the event returning in early February 2022, and again periodically throughout Season One, to acquire all the rewards Halo Infinite‘s Fracture: Tenrai event has to offer. 343 Industries has demonstrated its willingness to listen to players’ feedback, improving upon last November’s version of the event, much to the delight of Halo Infinitemultiplayer fans.
