There are twelve skulls that players can find and use. These classic Halo skulls are hidden in secret rooms or on platforms that players won’t stumble upon by accident. Once the skulls have been found, players will want to equip them before starting the campaign to make it more difficult, more enjoyable, or both.

How to Equip Skulls in Halo Infinite
To activate skulls in Halo Infinite, players first need to head to the main menu. Clicking on “Campaign” and then “Load Game” will show all of the saved games players have available. By clicking on one, players will see an option to equip skulls. Activating these skulls will change the rest of the campaign. They might give enemies extra health, for example, or cause enemies to do more damage. It’s important to remember, though, that these skulls do not apply to the Halo Infinite multiplayer. The skulls will only affect the campaign gameplay.
There are some skulls that can only be accessed via Infinite’s campaign missions. For that reason, players should make sure they know the locations of skulls before they start every part of Master Chief’s journey on Zeta Halo. In addition, not every skull is meant to make the game more difficult. The most popular example is “Grunt Birthday Party,” which simply causes confetti and birthday cheers every time a grunt is killed with a headshot. The skulls that aren’t found during missions can be acquired in Halo Infinite’s open world.
The skulls in Halo Infinite make the campaign fun and exciting. There are already plenty of challenging encounters in Halo, and the skulls make them even better. While high levels of difficulty don’t appeal to all players, those looking for a more extreme experience will find skulls extremely valuable. They are perfect additions to the game, as they have been in all previous Halo titles.
In essence, Halo Infinite’s skulls are useful as ever. Players have the entertaining task of hunting down all of the skulls individually. While Halo Infinite doesn’t yet have co-op campaign, with skulls it still brings a wonderful amount of variety to the experience.
Halo Infinite is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
