It has been a great season for FPS gaming. Major industry developers banking on some hardcore nostalgia has certainly worked wonders for the shooting genre. While Fortnite’s Chapter 4 is enjoying the limelight for its OG season, another FPS classic Halo Infinite is reliving its glory days. Following the launch of Season 5 for Halo Infinite a recent addition to the game has helped the fans reminisce about the “most iconic Armor set ever”! 

Ever since 343 Industries launched Season 5 of Halo Infinite, the game has been showing some good signs of progress. The servers were constantly witnessing growing numbers, and the reception seemed promising enough when compared to the last few years, which had recorded a decline in player base. Apparently, the new innovations made in Season 5 have been a game changer for Halo Infinite. In one similar episode, a recent introduction to the new season has helped the FPS jump over 60 spots on Steam charts. 

Halo Infinite makes a surprising leap in rankings, all thanks to Mark V Armor

Among all the innovations and features introduced in the new Halo season, the confirmation of the homecoming of a legendary Armor became the highlight. The developers announced bringing back the iconic Mark V Armor to Infinite’s shop. Moreover, 343 officially revealed the Armor was being brought with some exciting enhancements. However, unlike some previous titles, Mark V was a paid purchase in Season 5. 

The statistics reveal the Armor has turned out to be a lucky charm for the new season. In the last 24 hours, Halo Infinite had jumped from 115 to 21 in Global Top Sellers on Steam. The massive jump is evidence of the hype currently built around the game.
