Fracture Entrenched in Halo Infinite is a time-limited event in the game's multiplayer mode during Season 2 Lone Wolves.

The free event allows you to unlock the Eaglestrike armor and other items over the course of Season 2 by completing Land Grab challenges.

Similar to the 'main' Halo Infinite battle pass, there is a Fracture Entrenched pass which requires you to unlock a number of tiers in order to get and customise the Eaglestrike armor - however, you only have brief, select periods of time during the season to do so.

How Halo Infinite Fracture Entrenched event and challenges work

The Fracture Entrenched event has its own event pass which you can view in the same area as the season-long battle pass and your weekly challenges.

To progress Fracture Entrenched tiers, you must complete specific Entrenched challenges while playing in the new Land Grab mode. These event challenges are included in your weekly challenge pool, and are differentiated by a red strip.

Look out for the red strip to spot a Fractured Entrenched challenge.

If you cannot see any 'red' Fracture Entrenched challenges, they are likely in the 'upcoming' set of weekly challenges. Press the Y button over the 'active' weekly challenges to see which challenges are remaining. When you have completed one of the 'active' ones, an 'upcoming' challenge will cycle in next.

A glance at upcoming challenges in Halo Infinite.

There are a total of ten Fracture Entrenched event challenges to complete during an event week - assigned to you at random from a pool of possible challenges - allowing you to unlock ten tiers of the event pass. With 30 tiers in total to complete, this means you must participate in multiple weeks in order to complete the event pass in its entirety and get the complete Eagletrike armor set.

Though you cannot purchase tiers of the free event pass, you can use Challenge Swaps if you are struggling with any particular challenge.

The Eaglestrike armor is exclusive to the Fractured Entrenched event.

Halo Infinite Fracture Entrenched event pass rewards

To unlock the complete Eaglestrike armor set, you must progress through tiers of the Fracture Entrenched event pass, which has 30 tiers in total, giving you a number of associated cosmetics and ways to customise your armor set.

Thankfully, the 'core' of the armor is unlocked fairly early at tier 5, meaning you can obtain the basics of the Eaglestrike set within one week's play.

If you take part during the first week of Fractured Entrenched, you will also receive the Entrenched Spartan Backdrop for free.

As a reminder, though the event (and thus, the armor) is free for all players, the Fracture Entrenched tiers are only around when the event is active, which is set to be for one week at a time. Think of it similar to how Destiny handles Iron Banner, which allows you to continue the event-specific quest whenever it returns throughout a season.
