Halo Infinite is a large game in terms of scale. The map is far more expansive than prior games in the series, with many places to hide secret things. Developer 343 Industries has taken advantage of the bigger play area by squirreling away not only hidden Skulls, but many Easter eggs. Some, like our boy Craig, have already been found. There are no doubt plenty more. And today, we bring you one. Early on in the Halo Infinite campaign, you have a chance to discover a secret hidden arcade cabinet — here’s how to find it.
To find the hidden arcade cabinet in the Halo Infinite campaign, you need to make enough progress to get you onto the ring itself. After you defeat the Brute boss Tremonius, you’ll at last be on Zeta Halo for the first time. Once you have Outpost Tremonius cleared, don’t simply leave the area. Instead, leave the dropship platform and head back toward the crashed ship.
Don’t head to the ship, but stay on its left side. At the south end of the area, there will be a hill made of stone creating an arch, with dirt and trees just underneath. Stop by the Spartan Core on the way, as those are pretty useful. You’ll know the area once you see this:

Now, keep walking forward. Eventually, you’ll see a Forerunner door within the rock wall. That really should be there, should it? Well, it stands out for a reason. Walk through the door, and you’ll find a room with dead Brute inside. At the end of the room is, yes, the Game Zone-brand Halo Infinite arcade machine, hidden no longer (image is at the top). Enjoy the retro rendition of the game’s theme song.
And what do you get for finding the arcade? To the left is a Heatwave weapon, yours for the taking. That’s not the best reward, so I imagine that the satisfaction of tracking down this easy Easter egg will be enough.
For those wondering, yes, this is the same arcade cabinet found in the Streets map for the Halo Infinite multiplayer.
