Halo Infinite: How to change the difficulty of the campaign

On Legendary in particular, Halo Infinite’s campaign is no picnic.

Simple, normal, heroic, legendary. These are the four levels of difficulty on which you can tackle the Halo Infinite campaign. The last two in particular can be real challenges, because the opponents are much tougher here and the Master Chief can take a lot less.

Anyone who notices that the currently set level of difficulty does not fit – that is, it is either too easy or too difficult – also has an option in Halo Infinite to adjust it. However, this setting option is not immediately apparent.

Attitude is there, but it is hidden

Because once you have started the campaign, there is no corresponding entry in the options menu that adjusts the difficulty immediately. But that is not a cause for concern, because the setting option is hidden elsewhere. This is how it works:

• Select the campaign in the main menu of the game.
• Then go to “Load game”.
• Select the appropriate save for which you want to change the difficulty.
• Look for the degree of difficulty you want under “Difficulty”.

If you then go to “Play”, the game will load with the new difficulty selected, which is then set as the default. You don’t need to repeat this process every time you restart, you can simply click on “Continue” in the main menu in a subsequent session.
